    If Bucks try to shop Giannis, Rockets should be first on the phone to trade away Sengun.

    Building a team around an offensively limited center that sucks in P&R defense is sure way to fail.

    Lebron's reverse dunk just put me to bed. Good night cruel world.

    Spend 20s getting KD the ball at the top of the key they just run a basic pick and roll, maybe we could try that

    Sengun and Jabari are ASS. Literal ASS.

    Trade Sengun, Jabari and Tari for Giannis.

    Did Reed do well??? I remember him jacking up bad shots and being a defensive liability...hence why Okogie got the start over Reed.

    KD gets doubled, we completely fall apart.

    LeBron screen and roll, immediate score every time.

    Even if you don’t like Sengun this is beyond ridiculous. I expected the Ayton matchup to give him trouble. I don’t know why so many people thought he was going to feast. But this is absolutely insane.

    Ime thinks he can trap Lebron at halfcourt like he’s KD…LOL

    Lebron can actually pass and make smart plays

    Reed Sheppard, the only positive +/- getting 6 minutes while okogi gets 20 should seriously be investigated.

    He's been ass tonight, but who else do we have? Clint can't play more than 20 minutes or so without getting gassed

    We'll just end up seeing a lot more Tate knowing Ime.

    Maybe Unc could be good for few minutes?

    Sengun needs this humbling….he’s not as good as he thinks he is. And getting handled by a scrub is the best medicine.
