    Jabari hasn't hit a 3 all game and this fool takes a 3 over Embid. 2nd play of OT. We were doomed when Udoka decided to play this bum and Sengun. Capella, DFS, and Reed were getting the job done in the 4th. That come back by the Sixers is on Ime. Also Jabari and Eason should not be allowed to dribble the ball.

    I'm ready to see Ime fired at this point. His favoritism of who he plays is killing us. What a jerk! His disrespect for Reed cost us this game. It's not the first time, and won't be the last. I'm sure his press conference will be blah and boring BS as usual. I'm not watching it, that's for sure.

    KD is the offense … he is doing way too much. This is totally on Udoka. I have to say his not a high IQ coach. Bari and Segun cost us this game. But why did Udoka bring them back in? Someone pls explain. These losses are mind boggling

    Reed - leads us back against SA and then bring that 4th Q energy again and hit 3 3s and get us into our sets

    Ime - yeah, take a seat next to the coaches. We don’t need you in OT

    The offense is so much smoother with Reed out there. The defense knows they have to cover him, plus when he’s running the point, things seem to flow better. Ridiculous for him to be left on the bench. Ime needs to wake up.

    KD has never been asked to handle the ball and create this much on offense. it's been westbrook, curry, kyrie, and booker.

    Reed and Capela would have won it. Poor coaching

    As bad as the coaching decisions were in this one (I guess he had Reed on a 23-minute restriction for the BtoB???), the players' missed FTs just show a lack of attention to detail. That's supposed to be our strength. This group isn't going to win in the play-in without an infusion of talent at the deadline.

    I foresee a long offseason ahead.

    Yep, a lot of TOs come from force feeding these two and I think this is why Reed has helped in crunch time minutes since the other team has to guard him both on and off the ball, so it makes it a lot easier to get those two the ball and a lot harder to double either of them.

    Unfortunately, the coach puts way too much stock in getting defensive stops in closing time and not enough into getting good clean looks.

    Needs to be traded, he’s turning into Enes Kanter. Rockets need to move him, Tari and Jabari as soon as possible. Jabari might be hard to move because of his contract but trade the other two.

    I’m of the opinion that Eurobasket wore Alpi out. He’s toast.

    Crazy how Reed and Capela were catalysts to our comeback—and neither saw the floor in OT. Capela, ok, I get, Alpi needs minutes. No excuse for Reed not playing when he was our best offensive player by FAR in the fourth.

    Also, got super super unlucky with some of the bounces, he hits one of those layups and we win
