    I'm going to chalk his issues this season to lingering issues with his back. It's the only explanation as to why he's been so inconsistent for the first time in his career.

    He got benched for being bad on defense and instead we got those garbage shooting lineups that got us in this hole...but that's the thing, him being on the court makes it harder to double anyone. It's not just him though, my post about Reed is not some compliment to his play...

    It's about the trash non shooting lineups Ime puts out there. Reed has to play since we do not have many shooters, he's one of them, he's going to give up points no doubt but the opposite is Ime throwing in a guy that the defense can completely ignore and then the other team goes on a 10-0 run because we have no shot at scoring.

    It is silly that he got pulled for his defensive mistake when so many of our players make defensive mistakes but it is what it is I guess.

    This team invents new ways to turnover the ball on last play of quarter every game. Look after the damn ball.

    All in all down three a miracle given the defense did not show up until 8 left in the half

    For whatever reason, down 3 doesn't feel that bad... but being down 15'll do that to a man.

    I doubt it. Udoka sees something in Holiday even though he absolutely brings zero to the team if he can't hit an open shot.
