    Holiday plays good D but he does not look good on offense at all

    Maybe there is a reason Dame takes those long 3s early in the clock, just trying to get his rhythm going maybe

    It looks clear that even with a roster of stars that Durant is on another level. Hurts knowing he could have been ours

    Was thinking the same thing. This has to be the first game he hasn’t played crunch time since….high school? College?

    Kinda crazy to watch Rubio not pass and just shoot first.

    Bam got benched. He does not play very smartly. No hands
    Rubio destroying everyone who is guarding him

    they need ball handling and he's benched.

    maybe this opens dame's eyes about playing defense.

    Tatum looked great. And KD of course. Thought Bam would be better

    Because he deserved to be benched. He was hesitant on offense and got owned on defense. Simple as that.
