He's a 40% shooter and solid overall PG. He helps a lot and keeps our defensive identity

Career high 10 ppg...No thanks- don't need another guy to watch Paolo iso himself to death.

Happy to have Caruso coming off the bench and maybe finishing games we are ahead in...but he's nowhere close to the answer for ORL's impotent backcourt.

So Mosely was about to start Carter and didn’t because Wendell said JI should go.

Not sure if I believe that, but maybe Carter is smart.

Wow they actually won. Looks like I'll be flying to Cleveland lmao. Dirt cheap round trip flights for Friday. I'll re watch the game later. All I wanted was to avoid the play in and we did that. But we did it in magic fashion lmao.

I dont think we win the series but I think we can make it competitive. The thing that scared me with the cavs is there 3 point shooting. They have snipers and we seem to struggle against a team full of snipers.

Go magic crap ending, but overall very surprising fun season.

Not start, but put him into the game earlier than when he was subbed in

JI said post-game that Dell had issues with his back and that's the reason for the start....i really wonder if we would've still won if Dell started

I love the part about experience. He seems to be truly coaching them. Being honest with myself, this post season is all about the experience. You now what that environment is like and next season we advance.

What made it worse was not only was he shook, but the Bucks were blitzing him on defense and getting turnovers outta it

I had to watch the Bucks stream and when he took his jumper they said "that was an awkward double hitch shot from Fultz" implying that the defense made him shoot like that. No, ma'am, he's just trash and broken.

Magic could have a great long term coach with Mose.

I hate this if true. JI should be the starter.

Defense was terrible in the Vuc years, other than the one full season from Isaac.

And defense is the only reason we were good this season. Why not get even better at it, while also adding a good shooter and good IQ guard...

Its the people that want Trae that I question. How defense would go from one of the best to middle of the road. The rest of the team would have to work so hard just to cover him.

Leave that up to the coach. Many players have been able to thrive with a solid defensive team. Hard when you have two players with poor defense but one can be overcome.
