    It’s just going to have to be Sengun, Reed, and Amen taking some risk getting in the paint to get them rotating. Use Amen as a screener more.

    Rox bench is a non factor. Holiday and Eason with zero points.

    this team has no clue what they doing out there as Barkley has stated

    LeBron can point and single out a ref multiple times complaining about a foul. I dare any other player to do that

    I don't see this

    The last missed shot sequence I saw featured 3 or 4 concentric DHO with guys in motion the whole time leading to a missed short Sheppard jumper

    He just missed is all
