    Their net rating is 4.5 points behind us (9th place). They've been playing over their heads and we've been underperforming in close games. Their strength of schedule has also been significantly easier than ours so far. We are the better team and that will be proven out by the end of the season

    Tari is really skilled, but he is made of glass.

    The option C for you is that you are both stupid and dishonest. Reed hasn’t been playing great recently but Aaron Holiday is trash and absolutely NOT the answer. To go straight from playing Holiday garbage minutes to starting him shows how ridiculous Ime can be. Reed was fantastic earlier in the season but Ime has him on a tighter leash than anyone else on the roster.

    We need a new head coach but this shortsighted front office has committed down this path. Now we’re neither competing nor developing our talented young players properly.

    Go look back at that pick CJ threw. His body curled up like somebody was about to take his soul, he released the ball in fear instead of eating hit.

    Wouldn’t put it past KD to want the shine and most touches, points etc. Never realized he was this lazy too.

    It's not like we had this team on the rise full of young talented players. Wait...

    It would be one thing if we din't need him to drop 30. But we do, and now we need him to drop like 45 to win. He should be like a 4th/5th option but they're trying to get him his legacy ranking on the alltime list while the team suffers.

    This team playing like they know someone about to get traded.
