    Ime’s reaction to Tari’s all too typical low iq play says it all. He had zero reaction, while Sengun was stomping up and down in anger. Reed, who is white, makes same low iq play and Ime is throwing his hands up in the air and jumping up and down. Ridiculous and low iq coaching.

    Tari needs to start .... packing his bags.


    Man, I was a big Tari fan even before he was drafted, after the draft I couldn't have been happier, that was the one guy in that draft that I wanted - now?
    I .... how the **** do you go from shooting 50%+ to 8%. Boneheaded plays, silly fouls and an over dramatic helicopter mom ....

    Time to move on.

    It's a sad day in Rocket land.

    That dude blundered $100m .... he'll be lucky to get a mini MLE now.

    He began the year looking unhappy, got hot and played really well for a while, and now he's whatever the hell this is. Throw in the fact that you can't rely on him to stay healthy and he has become an unaffordable luxury. I love his game when he's right, but you can't count on him being right. I'd bring him back if he was cheap enough, but there's no way I'd want to count on him as a starter.

    The last time Tari scored more than 10 points was exactly one month (and 15 games) ago.

    Tari's game has completely fallen off a cliff. He's supposed to be an RFA this summer. I can't imagine him getting offers playing like this.

    The plight is seriously abnormal. I don’t know what excuse there is for regressing this badly right after he was on fire and the team gifted him a starting spot.

    Whatever adversity he’s facing, this is a historically bad reaction to it. Can anyone ask him directly wtf is going on?

    All season this team has been taking turns going through massive slumps as individuals. It's one thing to kinda hit a lull it's another to look like you have no idea what you're doing out there. All our young guys have hit one this season and Finney-Smith doesn't know what good play is. Maybe the reverse will be true and Finney-Smith will turn it around in the playoffs just to balance it all out. Tari is due soon to be playing his best ball.

    I have GROWN to hate Tari Eason. I hate his attitude since the start of the season and I hope he’s not back next year.

    I sure hope so. He just seems like he’s given up on basketball.

    What possesses a player to annihilate his own value months before he’s up for the biggest financial swing of his life?

    The only thing I can think of is he tried to get a handshake agreement when his efficiency was sky high, they rejected and he has an extreme case of immature self-sabotage going on.

    Otherwise I’m totally out of explanations for him throwing shots up like he neither cares about himself or the team.

    Right it doesn't make sense. This is his contract year. It's not just missing shots. I can understand going through a slump and that messes with your shooting confidence. But it's his effort too. How can you not play hard when you next contract is up?

    Especially a guy who’s been characterized as playing way too hard way too often since he got here.

    Baffling.

    Yes, she's a lunatic. Has something to say every day. I feel embarrassed for Tari.
