    Why did we double there? Just let Sengun stay on him. It just lead to an open 3.

    SVG just said our bench is 3-30 for the series. Yet our fearless GM decided to stand put at the trade deadline.

    Amen is the only guy I'll keep in a rebuild. I'm still holding out hope on him developing a jumper.

    Gotta let him shoot, maybe he will get hot. I'm just glad he is playing because we have a better chance with him than without him.

    Sengun was fouled and that was less contact for Smart who initiated ALL of the contact there. There was nothing Reed can do but push back or else he gets ran over?

    And our dumbass coach is playing every guy on the bench who never even played in the regular season. We'll throw in the lesbian in the Jalen jersey soon
