    Ime's rotations have been interesting. Aggressive almost. Not really letting any one combo settle in. Trying a lot of things. We'll see where we are in a few months but better not be on the way to 30 wins.

    He's just not very good and he's never been held to account, he never had to earn his minutes or his role and it shows.

    Jalen plays the game like it’s all a joke. Amen plays the game as if the ball has pores that ooze KY jelly.

    Yep.

    People are asking why we're not playing the young guys but the thing is the only hope we had of winning this game is when we had our vets in with Sengun.

    If Amen, Jalen, and Jabari never played tonight we'd have a much better shot at winning the game.

    Hopefully these guys learn.

    Green tonight looks about as bad as he could look.

    we really missed eason tonight. just no energy and dumb turnovers.

    hopefully this is a good shock to the system instead of a preview of what's to come

    Definitely Jalen. I said it before, I would trade Jalen now.

    I think Bari will eventually get it and be a good role player. I don't see much improvement in Jalen at all and that's including the preseason. Someone had to score the past couple of seasons and those are looking like empty stats. Hope he proves me wrong. I think Whitmore could be the the real deal eventually.

    Haven't been this disappointed in a long time. Like man this sucks. 81 games left but this just puts me in a bad mood.

    Man! I had high hopes. Don't want to hear it's the first game. Jalen hasn't learned anything in the offseason and he will play huge minutes.

    That's the one you're gonna challenge? Udoka has been stupid as **** tonight too. Brooks and sengun the only ones earning their money.
