    Some of the worst basketball I’ve seen in a while. Both teams to be honest.

    We got a coach with zero offensive capability. No good prep work done no good sets no good practice.

    Getting young players means they need development from the coaching staff cuz they cant coach themselves.

    Reed has to play better , he's had some shots he should have made

    Amen has been clobbered, outside of shooting that 3 no criticisms

    I don't hate Reed Sheppard but the Reed Lobby goes onto a milk carton when he does get a lot of time & doesn't do much.

    And then the second he sits they go absolutely apeshit

    Too late for that. By the time we do that, the tanking method is no longer viable due to Silver changing the draft lottery rules plus better picks would go to expansion teams like Las Vegas

    If he played all of his first season in MEANINGFUL MINUTES, he would have that experience.

    I don’t see a single difference maker on this team. Anyone here who spent anytime calling out “Katie” this season doesn’t know the first thing about ball.

    And don't slip the screen! Capela is NOT Draymond in his prime going downhill 4-on-3. That's bad coaching and bad playing.

    League didn’t give the rockets Flagg, Chet, Paolo, or Cade for tanking

    Maybe the but the talent disparity is so overwhelming on our side the Rox should be the one leading this game.
