    Pretty simple - the Reed stans act like putting Reed in is the world's easiest cheat code and Udoka refuses to see it

    It's not, see tonight

    Honestly you could trade KD and Fred then go right back to tanking. We’re that bad.

    Young players on the roster but doesn't know how to pass on a fast break and bricking easy layups.

    Ime Udoka Coaching is terrible, what does he teach. Getting players to be frustrated.

    Honestly they just need to play team basketball. Dont allways have to have a star. There not coexisting thats the problem. Coaching is questionable
    sometimes to the point you wonder if Ime is having troubles reaching his mates.

    Theyre zooming in on Sengun to ping him with a soft as butter proximate foul

    Overturned for sure

    I will be age 75 when Sengun hits two consecutive free throws.

    Glad the Nuggets didn’t lose to the Spurs. Imagine this team against the Nuggets. It would have been ugly

    I'd be extremely upset to get rid of Reed for a veteran. Allow Reed to develop with a coach that actually knows what he's doing. Reed is a smart passer, can shoot, you don't just trade that away because he wasn't an allstar right away. We have no clue what any of these guys are capable of doing with an actual decent coach.
