    Reed and Tari should not be untouchable.

    But he does other things better than Kawhi at this age. I don't see him being Ben Simmons cuz he isn't afraid to shoot. Make or miss he will let it fly. I think Amen is by far the most untouchable player on this team. Whether he reaches his potential is a different story.

    Artest, at his best, was incredible. He was the best perimeter defender I've ever seen. If that is Amen's floor, I'm very VERY HAPPY. It's incredibly rare to find a perimeter defender like that. It's even more rare to find a player whom is competent in the paint. Amen is ALL OF THAT.

    Imagine floor uber athletic springy artest with a 60% TS with playmaking - if he shoots jumpers and 3s.at even at just avg efficiency its game over

    Reed hasnt done **** why are you saying Brickpard is the foundation of this team over Sengun, Jalen, FVV and DB?

    3 ppg is the foundation? Dude is so ass even Ime gave Stone the middle finger and gave Brickpard his first DNP.

    Tari SHOULD be a foundation piece but he is never healthy so he doesnt foundation title. Foundation means you are always on the court.

    Herro does try to nutcheck Amen with his elbow. That's what set Amen off. Should be no suspension. No reason to ever go that low unless your intent is to affect someone's sperm count.

    I maybe crazy but I think Amen is already a better perimeter defender than Artest. Amen's defense stands out above everything. He's quicker and way more athletic than artest. His help defense is significantly better also. Like he is a 1 of 1.

    I think it started earlier in quarter on the drive. Herro clearly clears out amen with his off arm and refs somehow called a foul on Amen. He was boiling from that point on,

    lol come on Amen, you threw the guy across the court. That's a different competition.

    Wise of the team to tell everyone to watch their words while we wait to hear about suspensions.

    That was some serious cross court throwing.

    Nice to see someone coming off the bench who can actually shoot.

    Not condoning it, but Herro shouldn't have bragged on his social media or interviews imo.

    Pritchard went all offseason paying athletes to guard him hard on the 1's.

    This looks like Patty Cake.
