Pretty much done with RJ now. Year 4 and still really hasn't shown us why he was a top 3 pick. It's time to package him at the deadline before the league finds out he's doodoo.

Internal improvement from young players, and Suggs/Black backcourt is excellent defensively, Black is their lottery pick from 2023. He was the big haired kid pressing Brunson full court for the entire game.


They beat us last year as well.

RJ and DDV to the bench… IQ and Hart starting. One move to right the ship until we get to the trade deadline

The way I see it - this feels similar to J Hart. As soon as you start really ramping up his minutes/role the holes in his game appear larger. I still believe he’s as good a backup C you’ll find - but I’m not of the belief that giving him 33min a night will do anything other than expose some flaws that are mitigated when he’s in a proper role.

A lot of mavericks fans wanted him to be the coach instead of Jason Kidd I guess I can see why he’s turned things around fast down there with not even a lot of talent

Randle had another all-star performance with 38 pts 12 reb 6 ast. And +0 with all other starters deeply negative

RJ had a terrible first half, a little better in the 2nd. Team worse -22 and it’s getting ugly

Donte was trash, Ihart was bad, credit to the bench who were slightly positive somehow but they weren’t really good either.

This was a winnable game, oh well

One thing that stood out was every time they showed our guys on the bench, no one was talking. They looked miserable.

There seems to be some sht under the surface here

Orlando got themselves some forwards in Wagner and Banchero. Really curious to see their progression in the coming years.

They just need more shooting from the backcourt but Mosley has them playing well.

Also we started bad because we had like 8 injuries the first 2 months, we went .500 once our team was healthy. Prob even better if we didn't tank the last week to get better draft position.

We have injuries again this year but our guys are just a bit older and can survive it better.. though our shooting is still dog ****
