Ime Udoka on loss to Jazz: "Guys looked like they didn't want to play"

Starting lineup of:
Thompson
Eason
Jabari
FVV
*Whoever we get for Sengun + Jalen + Picks

Would be straight nasty.

6th Man: Whitmore
7th Man: Brooks
8th Man: Landale
9th Man: Adams (Boban 2.0)

The all-Ime team. Grit and grind.

 

Why would we trade our best player?

 

meh

Amen and Jock played well and that’s about it. Putting this on Jalen and Jabari seems egregious.

 

If people show you who they are year after year, believe em.

I'm giving Jabari this offseason to figure his **** out. Amen/Sengun/Fred are starters next year. Last two spots are up for grabs.

Not sure what all needs to happen this offseason but I know Rafael Stone is not up for it.

 

Why trading not only our best player, but the best center of near future, Alperen Sengun?
Silly

 

Jabari had a run of the mill bad game, certainly nothing egregious. Brooks played poorly also, but at least they seemed to care.

Jalen Green was -23, the next worst starter was -6. Green was absolute uninterseted dog s**t in every regard last night. He started his offseason already, I think it's absolutely OK to point this L at him considering we lost by 3

 

I would like to see Steven Adams and Tari being the other two.

I know, I know...3-point shooting, yada yada.

But I'd love to see

Amen
Fred
Tari
Alpi
Adams

The other team would never get a rebound, and we could just keep kicking it out to Fred endlessly lol. He could shoot 25 threes per game.

 

lol at acting like jabari had a horrendous 2nd year at 20. more like the complete opposite. He had a good year with plenty to look forward to

Amen for sure starter? stop it. you got it completely wrong. The only reason why he's even starting now is because Sengun is out. Bari is a locked in starter. They're also not benching a $90 mil player in Dillon Bricks

The starting lineup is going to be exactly the same assuming they don't trade JG this summer

 

Not sure Tari/Adams would make our 3 point shooting much worse than it was this year.

 

Jalen needs twins before training camp. Maybe triplets.

 

Or not!

Nah, just Portland. There's only so much misery a guy can take in a single weekend.

 

Fred Vanvleet is still hated even after being the best player and being the biggest reason this joke of a game was even close. Exact same ish happened with the Raptors numerous times. Poor guy just can't get the appreciation he deserves.

 

I agree with you a quadrillion percent!! .... ( @MadMax )

Having said that, I lol'd a little bit when I saw you posted that! ...


Go Rockets!!!

Going 12/30 also doesn't help much. One of the things i hated from Fred in his Raptor days and in fantasy basketball.

 

And 9 for 13 from three--and 7 assists. It was still a very good game from Fred, though I do wish he would cut some of those contested attempts at the rim.

If we're going to point fingers, Jalen being a total negative every minute he was on the floor was the biggest problem last night. Plus/minus can be a faulty metric, but it's pretty damning when you're -23 and the next-worst starter is -6 (Dillon).

 

Jalen has had finger pointed at him all over this thread, same with Brooks and they deserve it. I'm pointing fingers at VV 'cause it doesn't matter much he had 9 threes and 7 assists when he missed 18 shots that could have been taken by anyone else.

He was out best player, yes, but that's still inexcusable.

 

I think he is in an ungrateful tier where he is not truly a star but also not truly a role player.......and he shoots well from outside but cannot finish around the hoop.

Additionally makes a shet ton of dollar bills. Like his cousin Drake.
