    16 points 7 rebounds 2 steals 2 blocks

    his 1-5 4th quarter makes his boxscore look worse than it is

    Yeah from top to bottom every young guy on our team has major flaws

    I’m cool with a Booker trade. Green will always be this hot and cold guy. He has proven that over and over again

    I’m blaming Udoka for that. He should’ve called it soon as the bucket was made.

    We also have one of the easiest schedules if not THE easiest schedule til the end of the regular season.
    But let's say we are gonna go all the way down to the 6th, so what? Our core is 22 y/o old kids, they will have to learn through making mistakes, and they are doing that right now. Relax.

    I'm not blaming a second year player for that situation. This one is 100% on Ime. Maybe Dillon would've known but this loss is on Ime. I don't want to hear any player blame from him.

    It's stupid play. It has nothing to do with young or not.

    Hate to say it, but it’s true. Unlikely this group of young players holds a top seed all season. They’ve overachieved so far. If they make the playoffs, this season’s a success.

    The team and the "basketball gods", said the team didn't deserve to win.

    Well that was a kick in the nuts. Was ready to come on here to celebrate Goon, Reed, and Jalen. Yes Jalen, proud of him for his defense tonight. He got two key stops when he stopped the right hand dribble drive that was killing Cam all night and the block on Dlo. Oh well, on to the wolves.

    From what I remember he was still trying to box the defender out to open a passing angle so he was moving backwards when the ball was thrown in this general direction.

    why Amen threw the ball between 4 defenders is another question.

    Yep, defense has slipped a lot since Jabari went out.

    He's not our best one on one defender obviously on the perimeter or in the post but I keep telling people dude is an A+ team defender. He covers for a lot of mistakes.

    From the replay it looks like Brooks was trying to shield the defender and had his eyes off the ball for a split second. That happened to be when Amen threw him the ball. He didn’t see it coming. When he realized it, the ball was already beyond reach.
