Just lead the team in scoring and rebounding.. There’s no effort on this team but yeah let’s continue hating on one of the few players on this team who actually plays hard

Rivera doesn't lead in either of those categories. 4th in pts, 2nd rebounding. Not a hater of him just saying he loves him. He's one that does play hard yes

I never said he does - I was talking about the previous game. It blows my mind that people are watching this team and think that Rivera is the issue. What in the world.. this team is so bad and Rivera is the issue???? Mind blown

This made me laugh out loud. This team is so uninspiring. If Rahsool doesn't want to play, just excuse him from the team.

Rivera belongs at the 4. He's playing some Daddy ball down there and keeping us in the game.

Jaylen was so trigger happy to shoot the ball last season and this season he won’t even attempt a 3 despite being wide open - and on the other hand, Diggins can’t throw a grape in the ocean and he’s so ready to chuck up a 3

Getting completely nothing out of our big men - a combined 1 REBOUND from Abdelgowad and Muhammad

That 1st just proved DHS is team mvp, Umass getting crushed on boards without him. Way too many offensive rebounds and 2nd chance points.

Certainly missing DHS in this game, especially on the boards. Our other bigs just aren’t good rebounders, despite their size.

I’m not sure what Abdelgowad brings to the table - no offense, rebounding or rim protection.

What does this team do in practice? Absolutely zero improvement throughout the season

Might cancel my collective membership. Nobody on the team plays like they give a fuck and the coach sits there with his arms folded more often than not.
