    Reminds me of last season when Kevin Porter Jr had the keys to the team. Green's probably been talking to his "twin" about how to best ignore Alpe, after speaking with Roosh of course

    Definitely Jalen but if you give me Jalen vs JR Smith right now I would take the irrational confidence and wild shot making of JR. I am confident in Jalen becoming a good player but he is not one now, not even close

    If Landale hits a 3 I'll neglect the horrendous 3pt performance of the team.

    Other GMs see him calling at the deadline and be like “Who the **** is that guy”. We can’t even make deals because no one respects him. They all see this mess of a team he put together.

    Meanwhile the "role player" Jabari has 13 rebounds and 18 pts. on 7/16 shooting.(44%), 1 steal,1 blk.

    If we can't get shooters we are gonna watch the same exact team next year. You play defense to get the possession of ball and score but you start losing your defensive resistence if you keep stinking on offense.

    They are going to stunt Amen growth in the process of bullsh@ting with VanVleet and Holiday.

    Holiday is fixing the embarrassing 3pt percentage. How kind of him.

    Even Landale’s Dad was surprised at the contract he got. Stone just handing out a bunch of money like candy. Just a terrible GM.

    Dillion is not a defense specialist…Fred is not a true point guard, he is a backup guard who can only shoot 3 pointers….60 million dollars….Stone must work for the GOVERNMENT…just wasting money

    Another loss, we only scored a pathetic 95 points while we held OKC (3rd best offense in the league) to 112 points. I wonder if Ime is going to blame the defense post game?

    All starters on bench looks in a limbo, guess a players only meeting won't save the day, somebody gotta take the responsibility for the failure, i hope it's Rafael, it's been four yrs, we see nothing from this rebuilding, but a bust.

    Holding OKC to this much points was a good effort. The problem is this team can't shoot at all. Fred shot 2-11, Brooks is 3-9 and the biggest brick layer of all Jalen shooting 6-17 on a nightly basis. It just isn't good enough. You aren't going to win many games with a poor shooting backcourt in this league.
