    I feel like Sengun is already in declining mode at age 23. Unbelievable.

    Refresh my memory here. When the game was under control, to start the fourth quarter, who was on the court to lead the team and who was on the bench? In three minutes, Sengun and DFS blew a 15 point lead (Udoka also to blame here).

    Then, when the game was on the line, Udoka benched Sengun because he just can’t trust a frankenstein throwing every single possession away and complaining to the refs.

    Bad loss with a complete team collapse on the 4th. Bad way to lose blowing an 18 point lead.

    Oh well, on to the next one. Worse things in bball life than lose by 2 points to the 3rd best team in the east. Long season, we'll get it going again.

    Sengun is in his 5th season and already washed

    he moves like somebody who just returned from 1 year of rehab for an Achilles rupture

    Rockets front office firmly believe we will be a contending team when KD is age 40.

    To be fair, we do give Durant too much of the ball. His handles are slipping as he ages, and we are expecting him to be able to dribble around double teams.

    I honestly think Reed won't get that greenlight unless the GM/Owner tells Ime to do it.

    I don't think Ime has anything against him, he's just inexperienced and a small guard, both things Ime hates.

    I don't think Reed would have played much this year if FVV was healthy, maybe like 10 mins a night, he would have ran the wheels off of FVV this year too. FVV might be small but he's a 'veteran' which coaches like Ime adore.

    At least we've got to see a lot of Reed this year I guess.

    The good thing I've seen from tis game is that at least they are back to being good defensively and on the boards and hey, Jabari has been consistently good for a few weeks now, maybe the whole twitter drama woke something up in him, or so we can hope.

    Sengun was a big reason Knicks got so much momentum. Just braid-dead play and sold the game along with DFS.

    he’s lucky Tilman seemingly doesn’t care about this organization anymore…he moves like someone who knows he’s safe no matter what
