Had the game on in the background and didn’t pay attention to much. Suns took a similar approach.

I turned it off before Chriss got dunked on. To be fair it wasn’t as bad as they made it out to be on replays. He jumped so high that Windslow was below him still and there was no contact.

Nice to see Derrick Jones Jr back in the league. He had that look about him that he wanted to posterize his former team but he’s still just all athleticism and not much skill. Hel probably be a star overseas eventually.

Also, isn’t Reed supposed to be playing more?

I wonder what the deal is with Reed, though I knew this would be a lost season for him. Hopefully they're just not pushing him and letting him get 100% for the offseason and summer league.

Probably hasn’t looked good in practice. He can’t beat out Troy Daniels for minutes he must suck.

Once we embrace that Daniels is the better player (and actually worth keeping) and that Reed is a bust we'll all be happier.

Why do we have to embrace reed as a bust? Daniels has a nice shot, but he's pretty awful at everything else. Reed at least has some developable traits.

It's impossible for a 2nd round pick to be a bust.

I love it when people make judgement on a player after he's played 60 minutes when he's coming back from missing half a season.

I don’t know what to feel about it.
