    Great game by Amen. He really pushes his body to the limit and leaves everything on the line. I just hope that his playing style is sustainable.

    His handles were great tonight and he’s clearly improving on-ball. Made great decisions all night. I especially liked that he was playing down hill and pressuring the rim. most of the game. Defensively he was excellent. Just a great all around game from Amen.

    This is the kind of Amen that deserves a max.

    Get rid of that terrorist double big lineup. That ruins the spacing and amens ability to drive to the rim.

    Amen’s highlights should only be shown with the Amen tv show theme song playing in the background.



    Don’t tell me that isn’t a banger.

    Some Lebron **** for real. Mr 27/7/7. His fit with Sengun is slick too.

    Main point he makes, that I think is a good one: Amen can beat everyone off the dribble, which doesn't guarantee a bucket when there's help defense, but if he can consistently hit that little short-midrange jump shot inside the FT line it doesn't matter because that's basically "unguardable". If he can develop that skill enough in combination with his playmaking abilities, it may be enough to become an elite offensive player.

    This!

    I've seen a lot of criticism for Amen when in reality Ime has put him in a position it's very hard to succeed in.
    Not only did he have to play PG but he was also on the Floor with 2 other non spacers in Adams and Sengun.

    I think Reed and Okogie in the starting line-up are what unlocked Amen against PHX. He needs the space to operate and if he gets it, he is elite.
