    Bari is a much better playoff archetype than Sengun. Its why he was constantly mocked at #1.

    Guys are absorbing a lot of contact, but it all happens on the drive or off the ball. It's all good until we're playing D.

    I just don't understand how the coaches can watch this offense every night and be okay with it. I'd be losing my ****ing mind if I saw it happen for one play if this was my team.

    He won't look for his shot or to get to the line. It's so baffling to me.

    Yep. He's not a PG. Had Holiday open early in the shot clock but didn't pass it to him. Ball ends up in Holidays hands anyway with the clock running out

    Reed not doing anything. Amen not doing much on offense. Sengun slacking on box outs. Tari Meh. Jabari playing okay. Wake up guys.

    Ticky tack fouls on the rebounds for us. No fouls on the Lakers.
