    Kerr worked that out and Ime didn't have another move. Whether that's on him, or on the roster construction, I'm not sure. Too many one dimensional players makes it hard to have a multidimensional strategy

    At the end of the day we accomplished the goal of finding out who the playoff players are. Even if we got to the second round we knew we didn’t have the horses to contend for a championship. Iron sharpens iron and we leave the trash behind

    Being the second, or third best player on a championship team is great, dude. Sengun can part of what they do, he just cannot be the foundation, IMO. Green is too limited.

    Ime could have instructed Amen just to take over instead of sitting him for 4 mins while Curry worked over everybody else and FVV and Sengun tripped all over themselves in the half court. This team was built for speed, but Ime just gives lip service to it and hands over the offense to the slowest guys on the court. FVV and Dillon need to be gone or on the bench next season, but Ime will never do it. After another 1st round embarrassment next year, you will all be saying the same thing, because Ime does not have the ability to change.

    I believe Jalen can thrive with a different system and roster so maybe that’s the best move. I can also see them pairing him up with another major star. Management has two options. Can Sengun and Green coexist? Is either Sengun or Green it? I would imagine they pull a deal this summer or at the half way mark next year.

    eason had a catastrophic stretch there, missed an easy and 1 layup. Then followed that by missing 2 free throws. Then after a defensive stop just fumbled the ball out of bounds.

    immediately after he gets a block and steal but I don’t think we scored or capitalized on it

    I think we would be better with Amen and Brooks in the backcourt and go Jabari, Sengun, and Eason in front court...

    Amen could break their defense down. Jalen and FVV just dribble on the perimeter. When they do drive the fumble or play for whistles.


    Amen is the true PG...

    I have never seen so much scrutiny, hatred than Jalen Green, by TMZ, Twitter, YouTube ESPN Fired Castoffs.

    Anthony Edwards is getting Baby Mamas by 40 year olds also and wanting Abortion, yet gets a pass and celebrated as a player.

    Looks like I chose wisely watching Righteous Gemstones tonight instead of this crap.

    I will never get it

    if you’re 90 years old at the game, then ok, but u got young adults there just sitting like we’re at the movies

    crowd is full of “I go to a party and stand in the corner staring at my phone” types

    Are you slow? Ant is carrying his team. Jalen single-handedly sabotaged our team.

    Seeing Sengun give up on plays was sad. He needs to learn how to get over screw ups immediately and concentrate on next plays. I hope Jalen is not the next Harden with the disappearing act when it matters the most.

    Overall, it was an awesome accomplishment for the young core this season.

    Such a dumb take to undermine the guy. Let me guess, you would have a lob threat instead?

    Yeah they also have Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler. It's just hard at the end of the day with that personnel
