Paolo has a true shooting percentage of 60.9 in his last 10 games in his career.

Real progress is being made.


In his last 20 games, he's only getting to the FT line 6.1 times per game opposed to 7 FT attempts per game for the season.

Shooting 74.2% from the FT line in his last 20 which is encouraging.
The league has called fewer fouls over the last 20 games. They are making an effort not to call as many fouls.

I like the wrinkle from the offensive game plan of involving Paolo in the P&R game more. Teams haven't really had time to scout that.

That was a great win!!!

I will take Paolo over Zion any day of the week!! He struggled in first half but he still played great defense and was rebounding and finding the open guy. Paolo is a true superstar!!

Isaac is the best defensive player in the league, but I was **** scared watching him guard Zion's fat ass. Dont want to see him get injured. Isaac did a great job, he got a few iffy calls on him that probably shouldve went the other way. Wendell and Paolo did great job on Zion too.

I hope Gary Harris is okay, even though hes been a letdown, I like the idea of him starting with Suggs.

i never wrote i want to trade him. Somebody can check my history if that person has more free time than me, but he had historically awful rookie year, with mediocre sophmore year.
His rookie shooting was similar to Scoot Henerson this year throwing hot potatos in air.

He is having very good third year. Hopefully he can keep up shooting numbers in playoff first, than in year 4 and in future.

I don't really give a f*** about being right or wrong, i want team to have sucess, i don't give a f*** with who. There are people payed several million dollars per year to take care of "who".

Let chuma+fultz go
Offer Harris and goga a 1+1 deal

Suggs, AB, Carter
Monk, Jett, Harris
Franz, Jett, Houstan
Paolo, Moe, (Cole trade)

Orlando proved here that the team has promoted from "mediocre" to "good". Is "very good" next ?!?!?!?

What a fun game to watch, we had a terrible start but for the first time since the Dwight era I had full confidence we will get back against a tough opponent.

Love they progress from Suggs, Paolo is incredible even when his shots are aren't falling, Isaac is a Huge difference maker, love this team.

I kinda regretted switching Magic games and the March Madness games so gotta ask how we held zion down?

I know i should regret not watching fully after the incredible win, bit there is nothing like a 1st round upset of Kentucky when a lot of yall wa ted Reeves and Dilingham yet they gpt burned by a 35 yr old father of 2 ( or one who looks like it )

I think they drew 3 offensive fouls on Zion. He should've been called for 2 more. He elbowed Isaac and Moe in the face when he went up for shots and got away with it. I didn't realize how much he used his elbows to create space. He tries to go through the defenders.

Correction: It was Wendell and Isaac that got elbowed. Both took a lot of time to get up.
