    I agree with you in the second quarter. But I felt like it was because of how it was being called on us in the first. Ticky tack stuff everywhere. Loose ball 90 feet away they get 2 free throws it was garbage. Then we just stopped playing.

    It's tough in the heat of the moment but a lot of these things that we get so frustrated by are "young player" mistakes. We're just not there yet. Need a another year or two of seasoning like OKC has.

    Let's face it, Alpi just does not process well. It's a legit weakness. Too often his indecision kills possessions.

    This happens most often when it's very obvious he should shoot the ball right away, but for some reason he doesn't and looks around instead. I've been harping on this since last season.

    He needs to bring in Cam before Tate.

    Idk Tari has never been super explosive vertically. His length makes up for that. Not to say he cant jump but not really a high flyer

    I think Jalen in the ime era is still learning to be more efficient in scoring so he has tunnel vision. His development has been delayed from the silas years so hopefully starting next year his court vision will show improvement

    Why is Alpi giving up the ball 3 feet from the rim?
