    It's like Coach Ime's hate of Reed -- it doesn't make any sense.

    Bros shot selection is starting to mirror JG. I dont understand why he keeps taking contested mid range shots when he is already bad at shooting. Its just LOW IQ. Play to your strengths not your weaknesses. I dont mind him missing bunnies under the rim, just stop taking the fukn contested mid range .

    So Jalen is allowed to have 4 questionable years and Sengün who has been there since Day 1.... is not allowed to have a questionable 15 games under a frickin scandalous Udoka?

    I thought so, CF is selling out their mothers if they could.

    Senguin is a star.

    his issues are actually easily fixable. Be better with the ball, set better screens, more effort on D, and be willing to play the inside out game with guys not named KD

    he’s getting better at it

    That is exactly what the problem is, a 37 year old is on a vastly different time line than a 23 year old......

    It is going to pure luck if those time lines even meet.

    He is scared, when he makes a tough ridiculous shot he will keep going to it.

    Good to have the spin back in use. His signature move and he is so good at it.

    Wish we had someone like atw to spam the twitter content here after a good game. Now all we have posters who drop here for negativity after a bad game and silence after a good game.

    It’s just hoops hype click bait. I doubt there is any science to it at all.

    His signature move?

    That move was stolen from Scola.

    Imagine wanting to get rid of the guy that consistently dominates the alleged best basketball prospect ever

    I’m sorry but there is absolutely no excuse for being that lousy at the line and as a shooter in general. 2 straight short FTs is a joke and not something you would see from someone who puts a lot of practice time into it. It’s clear he’s a guy who needs tons of repetition, which is why he shot better after a summer of emphasis on it. If that is not the case, then alternative theories are that he doesn’t have the mental fortitude/confidence or lousy shooting is simply in his muscle DNA and there’s no hope for it.

    Personally I don’t buy that he’s putting in the EXTRA effort during the season that a guy like him with no feel for shooting needs.
