    First 8 minutes of BOTH the 2nd and 3rd quarter we have scored 9 and 8 points.

    We are playing in slow motion, no aggression or passion. This game feels boring.

    ugly basketball. sengun disappointing. amen inability to shoot is a lot bigger deal than people think. reed is not ready.

    don't know why, just somehow, one reason or another. misfortune just follows KD. he does the opposite of lifting up a team. almost never directly his fault, but just any team that depends on him just always come up with no payoff.

    sengun is still solid, have a bright future. is not a first option on a championship team. need to get that guy somehow if we're gonna be championship aspiring team

    IME has to go first for not able to create a reasonable good offence scheme
