    He hasn't. Momma Eason might want to chill with the Lavar Ball vibes. it's never a good look and doesn't typically turn out well for parents that have no clue what's going on

    Tari is the most useful in chaos, when he gets offensive rebounds and random steals. I don't really know how he looks in a controlled environment. He is hitting the 3 at a decent clip.

    Tari might want to tell his momma to chill. It’s not a good look.

    It's not a good look. But she offers insight about her son that no one else can. It seems like he has losing his love for the game. We may not like the messenger, but the message is pretty clear. Sigh...........

    Her insight doesn't matter whatsoever. and it never will. she has no direct relationship or experience with any of what Tari is dealing with. Using twitter fingers to b****h and complain is never a good look. This isn't 7th grade basketball. Quit embarrassing your son

    Oh I love to read it, don’t get me wrong. But I’m a fan. As a player, it seems like he’s bad mouthing the team/coaches to his momma and she’s relaying the message. As a teammate, I wouldn’t want to read that.

    If I was Momma Eason I'd Blackmail Rafael Stone. Wait no, that's the USMNT.

    Could Tari target Giddey and Wagner's game?

    He could target defending them.

    His game is nothing like there's. And, I don't mean that in any negative way. They're just nothing alike other than all being tall.

    If I worked for a **** coach like Silas, I would be dejected as well.

    Jaesean is a much better player than Tari right now. Tari is comfortably 3rd in the SF spot behind both Martin and then Tate.

    Tari needs to work on slowing down around the rim. He seems to get nervous every time he has the ball in his hand.
    I’m sure he’ll explode and make the jump this off-season.

    I think Tari is great, and part of our core. His mom is cool, too. I believe he will lead the NBA in steals sooner or later.

    Tari is almost the first person I’d replace with a veteran next season with how Tate & KMJ play

    Y’all be hating on Green but Tari looks like a jackass offensively

    Putting Tari above KPJ as a core piece is laughable

    bro I'm replacing Gary with a vet. People want to cast off talent because they aren't being coached. Silas just be throwing Tari out there to do whatever with no plan.

    I don't know if I've seen anybody go from cult hero to total zero as fast as Tari.

    Make. A damned. Layup. Please. Or a pass. Please.

    This is why I didn't really buy the Tari hype. His IQ was questioned by literally everyone who watched him play in college. He's not a smart player but he has talent. It's just a matter of whether he can put it together.

    He could be our JR Smith!
