JJ daring Reed to beat them.

 

Staples Center sounds as bad as Toyota Center right now, just without the empty seats

 

I've watched all of them. This year's was the most palatable because Kingston was so good.

But if we're keeping it 100....all of halfcourt college hoops is eye rape.

 

Do not give Holiday anymore minutes. He’s just taking up space.

 

Our young guys look so much better when they’re playing with confidence. You can see it in their movement and body language. Coach needs to have them coming out of the locker room like that.

 

You DFS haters, the dude can play. It's just this offense is trash. No sets, nothing.

 

Exactly. Just bc his brother is a good defender doesnt mean he is lol

 

Kennard being 1 for his last 10 from 3 and being clowned for the last 2 games is borderline erotic.

 

I honestly think this game is going to be more about defense, we can't let guys like Rui and Kennard get hot. If Lebron is going to beat you, whatever, top 5 all time player, but we can't be getting beat by f'n Kennard or Rui or Smart anymore.

 

Who is y’all? I called a DFS breakout game way before the game started.

 

I think finney smith is terrible but he finally makes TWO EFFING THREES and gets benched. If there was ever a time to try to get what you can from a lukewarm hand

 

I like our chances with Reed getting those types of looks.

 

Rich people never get loud

 

Game is easy when you hit shots.

 

We drafted Reed to make shots. He needs to deliver. Plain and simple. No excuses.

 

Reed looking busty.

 

Exactly... that's the only thing that ticks me off about Ime.

 

Yeah but our coach is high-key r****ded.

 

they do at MSG
