    Am I the only one who thought DFS played great today!!! Just kidding, he was awful awful awful and moronic Udoka kept sending him out there instead of just sticking with Okobie. DFS literally is losing us games and Udoka’s love affair with this slug should get him fired!!!

    If bored, watch DFS on offense. Runs with his head down not even wanting the ball and then hides in a corner. On the off chance it gets in his hands he never looks at the basket and immediately passes it sideways. Great pickup for $53mm total. Calling him and Tari - Dumb and Dumber!!!

    By being really good at other aspects of an NBA offense, like passing, driving, cutting, offensive rebounding, all of which Amen does. He was also a very good roll man in the PnR last season, we've just gone away from it this season because we don't have a point guard. Shooting isn't everything, but you do generally need four shooters on the court.

    As more and more big men come into the league as decent jump shooters (think about 2024 alone with Sarr, Clingan, Ware, and Filipowski), I actually think Amen is going to become easier to fit into a roster. We're just in a weird spot where our young 2x All-Star isn't one of those guys, really. (Maybe a little bit.)

    Hypothetical, could Bari be the future center and mold his game more toward Miami Bosh?

    Hypothetically, yes. Doesn’t mean it’ll come true. He molded his game toward KD, and nothing has happened, so far.

    I like the idea of making Jabari more of a center, where his shooting would really play up, than keeping him strictly as a forward, where it kind of plays down (so far, he may improve). He would need to really hit the weight room though, and I have the impression he sees himself more as a 3/4 than a 4/5.

    18 4th Qaurter blown leads in boston
    40+ in houston

    This isn’t a players issue. This is a coaching issue.

    And he went two 7 games series’ with a badly banged up Heat Team (Jimmy could barely walk in the middle of that series), and a badly banged up Bucks Team. It’s comical the excuses Ime fans make. He has no understanding of offense. Just defense defense defense.

    This is loss isn’t on ime.
    This one is surely and squarely on sengun
    Dude has no effort. Was hogging the ball when reed was open, calling for a three. Dudes defense is just sickening. It was on par with luka.

    I said before the draft that this kid would be a perfect fit for the Rockets.

    The Rockets don't need a player who can score down low, unless its a Jokic or an Embiid type.

    With a player like Amen, you need to space the court.
