Y'all see where Dillon inadvertently hit Alpy in the face during that scuffle with Collins?
Lets get those likes up! Over 400 views and just 22 likes. WTF?

I have 2 main take aways from this game:
1)The rim pressure that Jalen provides is way too important, to the point that I’m actually concerned at our lack of slashers.
2)We suck at defensive rebounding and it’s going to make me rip my eyes out.
Yeah we couldn’t get any rebounds and guys miss some defensive assignments that and Zach Collins was killing us like he was prime Shaq out there.
I’m sure Ime going to correct the guys on what they didn’t do on defense. It also showed that we missed Jalen Green a lot when we struggled on offense.
On the flip side Amen going to be damn good he is so quick that on defense he fast enough to go ahead and get some easy fastbreak dunks and he quick enough to get to the rim. Also you can tell he improved his jumper
If Amen can get into that 32-34 percent range from three he going to be a all star.
So yeah a lot of work to do for sure.
Also we really need a back up Center I really wouldn’t mind if we try to get Capela back but I don’t know how we match his salary
I think if we had Steven Adams no one would make any beef with our guys. I saw Adams, one time just move another center like he was made of paper.
This game really made me realize how impactful Tari Eason is. I only watched the highlights last of last game and I was still scratching my head the whole time wondering where Tari was. He really turns our defense up 2 notches
Don't forget Nate Williams, he had some spark off the bench. I was surprised we didn't see any Mayer of Hinton in the game.
Just a side note, that was Sochan that intentionally got tangled up with Amen Thompson and refused to let his arm go, not Collins. Collins came in trying to defend Sochan, though, and that's when Brooks came in. Just wanted to give the correct goon credit for starting the unnecessary action.
where is shure sm7b ??
