    Kpj had all his nails painted

    Green missed a few spots, he got punished for it.

    IMO, agree with benching Green, but also think we also should have benched KPJ and inserted Martin or Augustin

    Silas has the basketball IQ of a fire hydrant (apologies to fire hydrants)

    Both shouldn’t have been in, but KPJ over Green makes no sense.

    It's not a controversy. kPJ is simply bigger than Green on defense. If anyone posts up ok Green on defense we have to double.

    Didn’t watch the end but did Silas have a Tate/Wood/Theis frontcourt on the last possession and didn’t call a timeout?

    Clutch tanking there, if so.

    KPJ may not work out. Gotta be smart to play point guard.

    Neither should have been in. Sengun was benched too soon, they would've been better running a vet line with Augustin, Gordon, Tate, Theis, Wood after riding Sengun a bit longer to give us more offense before we tried to close out. Silas sucks.

    To protect a 2 pt lead. This season isn't about winning. Let the kids play.

    It didn’t come close to working so it was bad. Just play them both.

    for hat matter put Alpi in there. He’s solid on defense. 13 minutes today. Doesn’t make sense.

    He tripled down by refusing to call a timeout on the last play.

    he’s just not a good coach.

    I believe we were on a 7 - 0 run with kpj on the bench...

    Always expect the dumbest crap possible, then you won't be disappointed anymore.

    KPJ was playing great defense the whole game. Jalen wasn't. It's weird to me that this is even up for discussion. And benching the guy who was the worst player on the team today is an absolute no brainer.
