    We had BETTER put up a good fight against Indiana. We literally threw the game and rested Jalen the whole 4th in a winnable game to try and secure a win against the Pacers. Baffling decision here, and I cannot support it.

    On the other hand, Reed was phenomenal, as was Cam and even Dante and Mcveigh in limited minutes. I LOVE to see that, especially from Dante and Mcveigh who had never gotten significant NBA run before this. Welcome to the big leagues, boys!

    I'm curious to see if anybody asks Ime why he decided to run the RGV Vipers team out there late in the game.

    Wow. Missed the game. Looks like Someone told Cam and Reed this was going to be a SL game. Jabari and Jock didn't get the memo.

    I feel like both teams were coasting at that point. There was no defense being played the last 7 minutes on both sides.

    It was a stupid decision.

    Why would you waive a white flag BEFORE the game by pulling 5 of your best players ? OKC played last night...including SGA..no problem playing B2B. talk about SOFT...oh my goodness !

    Benching Jalen was bizarre. He wasn’t playing bad and we were within striking distance.

    Dudes been an nba player.

    He finally got a chance to play without being just a spot up shooter that gets yanked for every little mistake.
