    Yes, but not as a guard. He needs to play off Sengun.

    I feel bad for Reed, that he can't even get minutes against the Nets.

    Amens offense relies on hustle and our dogs being dogs.

    Everybody has a bad game. Sengun included. The whole team has sucked tonight. ATW’s true colors coming through.

    Nobody scores in double figures in the half. You got to be kidding me.

    This can't be blamed on Sengun's absence. They played just fine without him offensively the other night on the road against a much better defensive team.

    The Rockets just didn't show up tonight. It's a disturbing trend, since they've now done that in 2 of their last 3 home games.

    If Fred is out, go ahead and start Reed in the second half.

    That's the thing right is yeah, we're missing Sengun but this is still a terrible ****ing Nets team. Absolute drivel from this team. To be down nearly 20 at the half to the Nets is pathetic. Contender my ass. Pissing away all the good will from Cavs twice and Celtics.

    Sengun's gravity clears a runway for that

    Ugly ugly ugly first half. We were killing Cleveland’s zone defense a few games back yet this Nets zone got us looking dumbfounded like we’ve forgotten how to play basketball

    Cam is halfway to double figure turnovers though.

    Seriously, something is off with Jalen. It's almost like he's content being who he is. It's not that he can't be the guy but does he want to be the guy? His mindset is not one of a future star.

    If Brooks or Cam not hot, with Alpi hurt - all you have to do is blitz JG and dare anyone else on our team to beat you

    Tari?
    Amen?
    Adams?
    Jock?
    Holiday?
    FVV?

    none of them can create their own shot or beat a zone

    This blueprint was exposed by TWolves when they came back

    Yeah, sure. Bari would make all the difference and lead us to a certain win... Do you miss Alpi, ladyboi?
