    Tari was a giver tonight, not a taker.

    Unfortunately Fred contract and Eason for Jrue Holiday for December 15th. Reed is trash and not ready for the big time. We need a real PG

    This is just Game 1. We still have 81 games to go. He'll be just fine.

    way too early to even start thinking about it but packaging Tari and Reed might be the move, unfortunately

    To me it's not even about Tari at this point.

    We need a veteran PG and honestly out of our young core he's the most expendable. Team friendly contract, probably easy to trade, not for anything amazing, just for a vet PG.

    It’s just one game against the champs on the road. Yeah Tari didn’t play that well but we all know what he’s capable of when he’s on. I’m more concerned about Reed than anything

    Tari has to play better if he really wants that contract.

    He was trying too hard today, he should just let the game come naturally to him.

    This iscthe way he played in the playoffs last year. The bigger the game the bigger the wilt. Trade him while we can.

    TRADE EVERYONE BUT SENGUN. Start all over. **** it. Ive seen enough Amen Bari Tari Reed. None of these guys can shoot when you need a bucket. You found your superstar now you have to build a team that fits his game. Go get Mike Mlaone and some shooters

    When he was good beginning of last year it was steals, disruptions, cuts, offensive boards… That’s his bread. We saw none today

    He was awful today. He's not usually that bad. Unfortunately, it looks like the contract situation might have been a distraction, and you really can't have that this year. If he doesn't step it up, you absolutely have to move him. It really sucks.

    You keep pushing people downward a position till your SG is really a PF and there are 4 C's clogging the paint (Adams, Sengun, Chet, iHart), then yes everyone's handle is going to look worse than it's ever been in their career. You are helping the opponent build a wall against your own wing players.

    To navigate clogged paints and get to the rim, you need elite ball handling and excellent positional strength (think Harden, Paul, Lebron, Diaw). We have Sheppard, Tari, Amen, Sengun and KD pretending to be James Harden out there and you're seeing the consequence of that in game 1.

    They'll figure it out eventually.
