    Ime is about to punch that idiot ref who didn’t call the foul on LaRavia.

    The closest Sengun gets the ball is 15 ft from the basket. This is a disgusting basketball team.

    Amen should be the only dude on this team that is untouchable. The core of this team is mid.

    Nah, it’s all the above. We do we even have 3 poor outside shooters on the roster in 2026?
