    that steal and conversion would put us up 10. Instead they scored other way and got it doen to 6. That’s how critical these points are

    Jokic is an elite playmaker though. He makes a lot of Denver’s sets look easy.

    5th best record in the league but somehow we suck. Sounds about right for this forum.

    Jabari Smith and Reed Sheppard were drafted because of their shooting ability.

    we traded for KD one of the best 3 pt shooters in history.

    signed DFS who had been shooting 38% the last couple of years.

    But Stone hates shooting. lol ok

    Listen to Chuck Ime, playoff teams aren’t going to allow this iso BS offense. See what the Spurs did the other night?

    True. Both Sengun and KD had a bad game, thankfully they made up for it in other ways. KD had only 13 points but had 5 rebounds and 8 assists, while Sengun only had 14 points but also had 14 rebounds and seven assists.

    Overall, the month of January was not good for Sengun. He only averaged 18.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1 block per game, all on while only shooting 53FG%. That's not the all-star play we're used to for him. I'm hoping that February turns things around for him.

    they either wait too late or don’t pass at all.

    Rockets are slow to identify open guys ive noticed. In a separate play in half court set Amen pissed me off one possession Tari cut baseline wide open. Amen looked right at him and didn’t pass. Wide open. These plays like the fast break misses can determine a game

    Everyone, including the coaching staff defers to KD too much. We are running the "KD please save us" offense way too much.

    Reed Shepperd the MVP of the game for taking out Brandin Williams who was on fire and had 13 points in the 1st quarter

    He takes 75% of his shot within 10 feet and 86% of his shots within 16 feet. He definitely does not have a perimeter game.

    This team has too many flaws and weaknesses that never get addressed. Anyone who thinks they’ll make noise in the playoffs is kidding themselves. They’ve lost repeatedly to bottom-tier teams, and there’s been little to no offensive adjustments from the coaching staff in 4th quarter repeatedly several games. Ime often gets outcoached by his peers more frequent than not. I’m not trying to be negative, but games like this should’ve been blowouts even with Flagg shooting well
