    Another f'ing Sengunite? WTF? Tired of all these clueless people that don't know anything about bball, Os Trig and Clutch told me it's a "nope" and surely they know more than NBA players and NBA media.

    I figured that was the reason. But I didnt start watching tell the 3rd quarter. Which I'm happy to not see him touch the court.

    His body language has been giving "I am not concerned" vibes which is not good. May be I am wrong

    Great hard-fought win on the road against a good team.

    For anyone feeling upset about Jalen, he’s got to overcome this if he wants to be a star player. All of his compatriots are playing well, there’s no excuses now.

    Ime is doing the right thing. The young guys asked to be coached hard—well here it is.

    Watching Alpi and Jabari at the end — they’re learning to make winning plays. Bari’s rebound in traffic, taking advantage of Zion’s lost shoe, and the pass to Alpi were what good players do.

    The last 6 quarters of Alpi (I won’t count the garbage time 2nd half of the Mavs game) have been All-NBA level and then some.

    Jalen Green just doesn’t help this team. The team is simply superior with him off the floor. That closing stretch shows that.

    Imagine what Sengun did tonight….

    Hakeem did that every night + defense.

    I hope Sengun turns half as dominant, I have a good feeling.

    I love how Sengun said they are learning a lot from the vets and the coaches, it shows what a fraud Silas was. You can still have a bad team while having a good coach to learn things.

    I feel bad for him. Also feel bad that we potentially wasted the pick. He’s talented and young so I hope it clicks, for us.

    I’ve been saying this for the past 2 weeks. Unfortunately he still hasn’t responded. I wouldn’t hold your breath

    He really doesn't fit in offensively or defensively at this point. Ime played him against the Peli bench in the second where he was able to have the ball all by himself. He drew some fouls but was just meh.

    To be fair I’d rather him be supporting the guys and *clap clap*ing instead of sulking on the bench. But Jalen’s got to feel a sense of urgency now, because Ime’s certainly not going to wait forever..
