    Can someone please tell Sengun to stop with the faceup drives.

    It’s not happening bro, there is no spacing and they are loading up on you. Hayes is not going for that bullshit.

    I get the frustration with Reed. But when you take out a guy 2-3 minutes after you bring him in....and scream "Well he's not hitting his shots to overcome his defense" You can't give him 3 minutes to overcome it. It's just dumb. Either play him or don't, don't yank him after 3 minutes.

    Not much has been more disappointing than Sengun's playoff performance.

    Just an absolute crab, can't play him

    He almost always seems to struggle with the tall/strong/long archetype, no matter how scrubby they are in terms of their actual basketball skills. But struggling against Jaxson Hayes is next level.

    too late. Bucks saw all they need to see. Kings might laugh at an offer for Sabonis.

    That's why undersized centers have to be able to shoot. It's what kills his game. If he forced Ayton out by his shooting, he could blow by him with his dribble. It's what's holding him back.

    I would like to think we're over the Holiday/Tate lineups going forward but I doubt it

    I don’t want another old rental. If we’re gonna trade young guys, we should trade them for better young guys. I don’t want a whole team of geriatric mercenaries with threadbare Achilles tendons.

    There should only be 7 guys to touch the court until a game is out of hand.

    KD/Jabari/Reed/Tari/Okogie/Sengun/Amen

    If you need another body, use Jeff Green as a 5.

    Tate/Capela/Holiday do not belong on the court in this series.

    Sengun HAS to find a way to contribute. 6 points is crazy
