    We have a team full of assholes who only play for themselves. Complete opposite of what we had last year. What's changed? Hmmmm

    I saw this on r/nba Reddit.

    Obviously they deserved that, especially Ime.

    That was a lame ass quote. True, but lame.

    I think lumping Amen and Jabari in that comment is ridiculous. Both bring it every night. So does Sheppard and Okogie although they aren’t part of the core yet. We do have roster issues, but Ime is the problem. Take him and Durant out and this ceases to be an issue.

    Jabari brings it every night but plays zero help defense and cooks Sengun every time Alpe helps and gets scored on. His entitled attitude and mediocre play is absolutely one of this team's many problems

    Bari is not entitled. i remember that dude gave up his starting spot to Amen last year without a word. he does need to work on his help defense. everyone needs to work on their help defense. nobody helps Alpi on defense except adams.

    Jabari is basically the only player to have notably played in help defense this season. They may have given up like 2 months ago, but Jabari's shot blocking was really, really good for like 3 months to start the season. I mean he's 2nd on the team per game and total blocks, mostly as the help defender to Sengun (#1). And it's not by much, so if Jabari isn't much as a **help** defender then what is Sengun as a center with only 6 more blocks in total? He's tied with a handful of guys but ranks about 30th in the league in blocks but 11th for forwards. Of those 11 only 4 have a better 3%.

    Folks are getting wayyy too casual about hating Jabari.

    Dude gave up his starting spot because he was being outplayed. Jabari gets zero hate on here yet is just as disappointing as Jalen in terms of the draft pick used and his pre-NBA expectations, so I'm just trying to balance things out. I don't rate him as a player and would not lose a second of sleep if he was traded

    He’s been playing pretty good, and I’ve been his biggest critic

    solid role player which is his salary too
