Interestingly, Ingles got vest points in both wins. Franz and Paolo didn't get a single vest point in either. Moe and Suggs wearing the vests.

I think the refs will set the tone early…a physical series, especially on the perimeter, certainly favors ORL. I don’t want to see Suggs on the bench, with three early fouls while Mitchell puts up 50. Hard to predict how they’ll call it. It was pretty obvious, despite Silver’s denial, that they were calling a lot less this year, but playoff TV loves star performances more than muddy bloody defense…so we’ll have to see how it goes.

Suggs will be in big foul trouble by halftime - book it.

He’s kicked ass all season…not a given.

Actually, Suggs in foul trouble could trigger AB’s big coming out big in the playoffs opportunity. Not banking on it, but great storylines happen under the bright lights

If Suggs gets in to foul trouble it will unfortunately be Fultz that comes in. Honestly I think Fultz should be completely out of this series. If he is in “normal” rotation I will be seriously pissed. But I think they will go down to 9 assuming no foul trouble.

Yeah i'm going to stand behind you on this one. It is way more likely Fultz gets the name call then Black. REALLY unfortunate. I would love for AB to get some burn but the injuries that have to pile up for that to be a given are super unlikely.

Here is hoping that Mose is way smarter then I give him credit for and has been working with Black behind the scenes only to unleash him in the playoffs.

Looking at several voters prospective ballots for the All defense team it looks like Suggs will at worst make the second team. He's first team on a few.

There should be zero chance he isn’t at least on the 2nd team.

If he played on the Celtics, he would be top 3 for DPOY.

The way I look at it, If Issac can stay on the floor and fultz stays off the floor we have a shot to win. If fultz gets significant minutes or JI can't stay healthy it's a wrap

[KillMonger]

hope coach puts a focus on the free throws and turnovers

I really don’t think Fultz will play much. And it’s funny how many thought that Fultz was the future now it’s become abundantly clear he is not.

He’s not even the same player he was last year though. Whatever is going on with his shoulder has completely derailed his career.

Between both teams, who are the best five players overall?

You mean like T.Prince from DET when he defended the heck out of Tmac?

OMG if AB gets vest points this series I'll be insufferable

[RookieStar]

Paolo
Franz
DON
Garland

Yeah.. we ALL will cream when we see AB and limiting DON from his usual production. Crowning him as the future in a championship lineup.

In reality, it will be Fultz who will "try" to defend DON becuase... family

Yea, overall I think they've got the edge but our bench is also far superior. Also if JI played full mins at the kind of impact we've seen from him in limited mins, he might squeeze in there over Allen/Mobley.

Nice. If Mitchell is injured he drops, otherwise these are my top five.

1. Mitchell
2. Isaac
3. Paolo
4. Franz
5. Garland

Problem with JI is that he doesn't play that much minutes yet
