Amen saved Ime and Tari from generational slander

Great game, but damn Ime almost sold with that Tari inbound TO and his all-wing lineup that didn’t even defend well digging us a hole. Amen saved his ass.

In any case, Reed is like 10-2 as a starter now. Makes our offense much easier and makes him a net positive so far. His improvement and development is key to our future since this season is probably a wash.

Exactly why I’m excited for next year with him becoming a legitimate asset that can come off the bench with VanVleet starting.

He should be starting next year.

Ever since the 83 point game Bam has looked really good. It must be his confidence

He’s been good since 2026 started on both ends tbh. Even if his offense isnt on, his defense has been top tier in the league since the new year. Man’s been possessed lol

If he’s so good, why did he lose?

Because his bench sucks ass. He was a plus while bench big was a -15

He played 45 minutes btw a career high for a non-OT game

Mg29reaper | Celtics

And in the 4 minutes while kel’el war was playing center instead of him the heat were -15

Bam just casually getting more rebounds than the rest of his team combined

Professional-Play-38 | Rockets

yeah it sucks because he was the only one giving effort on both ends of the floor, in the end he was just gassed out I guess

Wasn’t good enough obviously

That 18-3 run with Durant off the court obviously turned that game around.

Had a synopsis talking about how everyone else was able to contribute then bring Durant back to hit some shots and help fend off the Heat and get a win – but then we failed to inbound the ball and literally almost gave the game away.

But thanks to Amen’s athleticism, we stole the game back on a last second tip and I think our announcers have just stopped yelling. Also, congrats to 37-year-old Kevin “Showing My Age” Durant for finally passing Michael Jordan for 5th on the All Time NBA Scoring list.

18-3 run with like 8 of those off Holiday lol.

I’m tired boss.

6th seed or 11th seed, idc anymore. Just get out of the play-in. Somebody please just put this season’s Florida lil bros out of their misery atp so that maybe, just maybe, they finally decide to blow it to hell

Same. It’s a shame the Sixers will probably beat Utah, though

how did Kelel Ware manage to get -15 +/- in 4.5 minutes?

axnjxn00 | Magic

3 | a day ago

i didnt watch the game but it seems to me he is completely unplayable unless they are running a zone and also unplayable alongside Bam. I dont know how he is such a bad man to man defender
