    A lot of our hater posters have lowball IQ. That's why they liked Jalen trash ball.

    Reed sounds bad, makes sense his shot is off

    Toughest thing about this series is we already could have (should have*) won.

    Bring on Game 6!

    His defense was so bad. He was not hustling on defense and repeatedly allowed Ayton to eat offensive rebounds. It's okay to call out your team, or favorite player, embrace it.

    Jabari the game MVP.

    Sengun made some good passes without forcing bad shots in a crowd.

    Amen was a bit too timid. But he hit TWO 3s.

    Reed came through in the 4th quarter.

    Okogie was solid.

    Tari had his trademark bonehead plays. But he was very active on both ends.

    Even DFS hit a couple of 3s in the first half.

    A good all around game for everybody.

    BTW, is this the youngest starting lineup in the playoffs?

    Reed definitely idolized Curry, couldn't be more obvious.

    Seeing how good we played from game 3, makes me angry remembering how bad was our 4th q of game 2, where Ime played kd the entire quarter, while drying Reed on the bench, when we desperately needed spacing, and just couldn’t make a normal run to tie the series at that point. Should have been 3-2 series lead by now, not 2-3.

    did jabari get to attempt a single shot outside of the FT in the 4th?

    he should be involved more on the PnR with Shepp and Amen. When sengun set the pick, defenders don't care about the 3pt line.
