    Loss is a loss. The question is can the team learn and improve from it. Better handling a zone, a full court press, and in bounding the ball. :p

    Ime Udoka doing Panic Substitutions when players start, stop is bad for rhythm. Player Tempos. Offense, Defense substitution is ridiculous, especially most of the defensive players are injured and out anyway.

    Dillon obviously not calling out the defense. He's the vet + Udoka's coach on floor when Fred is out.

    Why is Ime so damn passive aggressive. That’s terrible leadership.

    this is not passive aggressive. It’s just aggressive.

    Felicia is already planning her next move…how to retain power once Ime is fired. Felicia will never make a bold move. Kicking the can down the road puts Ime in the trick bag while keeping her GM job safe.

    This. I don’t see how this is passive aggressive. He flat out said what most fans are thinking.

    The Rockets don’t have a franchise player- makes it a lot harder.

    Passive is not a term associated with a man named Udoker.

    Celtics knew a thing or two.

    He's pressing buttons. Pretty obvious to me. He knows the team is in front runner position but isn't ready for it. I think this is one of the top reasons why he's a good coach.

    This is just Udoka, did exactly the same with Celts.

    Lol do you not agree? He started the year shooting 19% on isolation which would be worst ever. He's been better lately but still atrocious. His generates only like .82 points per possession on isolation. When harden did it he was generating 1.1. So in a 100 possession game Jalen could only get us 82 pointd. Hence why our offense struggles mightily.

    Against Minnesota's? Did you even watch the game. He had a great first half then went back to the mean. He was god awful in the second half.driving to basket losing ball out of bounds to like 10th row in the stands. Bricking every shot thinking he could match Ant. Do you not see the difference between Green and Ant? They aren't even in the same stratosphere

    Maybe so. I imagine even if it wasn't Sengun probably took the challenge personally and will work to be that bucket getter. The problem in this game though was I don't think Sengun even got to touch the ball the last 4 minutes of the game. This would fall on Ime then.

    That's his thing. He tries to go superstar hero (I belong, I belong!) and often just sh*ts the bed.

    After another mediocre (at best) trade deadline, it feels like Stone is keeping his powder dry for an offseason trade. How realistic a trade for Devin Booker might be is up for debate, but I'm sure Jalen Green would need to be in that mix: Booker and Green cannot coexist on a team; and Green's PPP precluded a move at the trade deadline.

    Of course, Phoenix was up for moving KD instead. The Suns would still have to consider vastly-paid, aging, oft-broken down Beal and KD when the offseason arrives. Our main ammunition is the Suns' first rounders and an imminent Suns implosion.

    Okay so you don't like facts just an occasional fancy dunk. Got it.
