    I think he can be a good role player but he's nothing special. I think there's a good chance he'll be packaged in a trade this offseason for more veteran help.

    Fred VanVleet and Steven Adams will not be healthy next season. Ime Udoka is not needed.

    No set plays. No pet actions. Terrible.

    Tari just made a 2 year / 20 mill deal after this game. Someone might sign him.

    Jabari's mind is not in the game.

    Nah you are wrong. Just using the FO as a scapegoat for Udoka's incompetence.

    Scoring 86 pts in the modern NBA? Thats the coach fault.
