    Such wow.

    Much achievement.

    In the Least.

    Or did the Celtics get much better when Ime was removed?

    The Wolves would never be a problem if we have Harden.

    **** Ime.

    Udoka should stop getting angry at Alperen in front of the camera. I know Turkish people, I'm Turkish too, and our people respect those older than themselves, but at the same time, we get angry quickly. If Alperen makes a sudden, wrong move, Udoka will be in a difficult situation.

    Glad there's at least a chance to face Denver, I hate LA games. They always glaze the Lakers, games in their arena look terrible on TV and with the Nuggets we actually get pretty basketball.

    Btw, Ime is weird and this all doesn't matter, we'll lose in the first round.

    Glad Amen showed he's a great player who could actually put up 40 points. Kudos.

    I fell asleep in the 3rd quarter, so I missed the 4th quarter collapse

    a decimated Lakers team would be the only reason we’re not getting packed up in 5 games in the 1st round

    Outside of George Karl, I have never seen a coach blame his players so much.

    There is only one possible explanation of what happened last night.
    We've performed a succesful tanking operation.

    You want the Nuggets?

    Are you a travel agent that gets a commission for summer vacation bookings?

    Reed was -17 and everything he came in, they put Conley in to cook him. I know many in the media and fan base live vicariously through Reed but the main problem is those 4 players you named at the end, poor roster construction.

    I still can't believe what I saw last night. 27 minutes for Okogie but only 2 points and 1 rebound. 24 minutes for Tari but 0 points and 1 rebound. You gave 51 minutes to those guys, but only 24 to Reed and Holiday. Why? Defense? In not one single quarter did they hold a half-empty Wolves team under 30.

    Look at the 3pt attempts between the teams. Look at the difference in the percentages. The math doesn't lie - even the broadcast team says so. Every minute this team plays without Reed or Holiday on the court is an indictment of Ime. And if you think they're not good enough, then that's an indictment of Ime and Stone for not having any other options. How can you trust them with this team moving forward?

    Udoka is going to destroy Reed's confidence. I wish his agent would request a trade. Or better yet, trade Udoka.

    They bring in Reed when they sit KD and/or Amen. There's some overlap, but he doesn't get much time with the starters because he's been yanked from the starting lineup. The Rockets are .750 when Reed starts.

    Ya'll driving me crazy with this QB wins stat for Reed. Do you actually eatcy how the game starts and the score when he is pulled out for the first sub? How many of those games has he finished after starting? What's his net rating with the starters? Is it that Tari plays much better with the second unit? The stat should be when Tari comes off the bench because we win, at the beginning of the year with Tari off the bench and Okogie starting we won alot but I dont see everybody crying for Okogie to start
