    It's a shame, he's had several good games in a row. Maybe he'll still find his shot later over the course of the game - he's best at getting good looks with KD and Alpi on the floor so I'm guessing Alpi being out and him having to be out there on the floor without the 2 All Stars is affecting his play.

    no offensive system whatsoever so when neither sengun or durant are on the floor it’s headless chicken time

    Every time Holiday and Tate enter the game, it becomes so damn ugly!

    God, I HATE Ime's rotations at times he is literally a basketball moron in some situations, you can't play 3 non-shooters and expect to compete.

    FFS he takes out our ONLY good shooter to put in a weaker player and we fall further behind, he has single handidly screwed our lead.

    We are navigating having an offensively challenged coach. When in doubt he double downs on defense. The lineups in the second Q have been comical.

    Classic Reed-fanatic whining every time Ime pulls him out of the game.

    Put Sengun on a dolly and have Jabari roll him up the court

    This is an uglier scoring quarter than the one we had against the Denvers at home a while back

    I fully expect to lose Sengun for 2-3 weeks minimum. The days of players turning their ankles and coming back from the locker room or playing the next game are long gone. Seems like the entire league is cautious. A one week injury is now a 2-3 week injury.

    That bullshit reach on defense has to stop Reed.
