    This team plays like less than the sum of its parts. Very frustrating.

    Can't even manage to win the half against this mortally wounded Lakers team with KD balling out

    But hey, at least we're not down 15 anymore!

    I truly cannot stand Holiday. He's a teacher's pet and he gets crazy leeway even when he's shooting like ****. Ime doesn't know how to play hot hands.

    Man IDGAF about the defense at this point, Reed goes out and defense is still terrible, so what? I'm willing to gamble with Reed's defense so that other players can have more space to operate.

    The difference is teams don't like to leave Reed open, they DGAF about leaving Tate or Okogie open.

    Ime needs to get with the times, a big problem he has is that he puts out garbage lineups.

    Like this is the 2nd time this series we did this tate/sengun/amen crap, it's trash and KD wasn't even out there during that like he really expected Amen and Sengun to do anything against a packed paint???

    I keep hoping someone close to TF watches these games and thinks “wow, maybe they should bring in people that have paid their dues, worked the film room for years, coached and learned - instead of a lawyer and a bunch of website founders.”

    Ime was a trash ass end of the bench player so he lives vicariously through guys like Tate and Holiday. Has absolutely no vision for the game other than get it out the mud
