The team's chemistry might be at its peak. What about buying out IT? I think he can be a chemistry killer.

Hey guys. Just wondering how was Zubac playing today? I know it was his frst this seasons extended minutes game in the NBA and he was playing against Adamas. But what were the impressions?

* seemed a bit more aggressive on defense, he was actually going at it vs. adams pretty hard
* didn't do much offensively on his own, but did set pretty solid screens
* kinda meh compared to last year when he came as a surprise

Initially, I would have disagreed. But then the reports came out that he's allegedly refusing to come off of the bench.

I will give him the benefit of the doubt for a few games. Hopefully we get to see how he meshes with Zo, but I'm not a fan of that diva attitude. You're walking on to a 22 win team in February, with < 30 games. You've sabotaged Cleveland, don't bring your baggage here. It's on Magic if IT becomes a distraction and finishes the season with us.

If IT does become a distraction he can sit at home like Deng, waiting for a Brinks truck that will never come.

Chuck does not trust The Process.

He lost trust when the rockets didn’t pay him what he was owed

WTF does that have to do with anything?

He became a wait and let’s see the front office actually do it guy since then. He wasn’t that way as a player to Houston messed over him. Then he got to interviewing and talking about front office promises versus reality and actually doing it on tnt ever since then. He even did it when he thought about returning to the wizards, as he said they made promises to him but he wanted guarantees.

Chuck has been a bit bitter and a bit of a cynic since he got **** by Houston. I get what he’s saying, they made the right moves with the trade, but what does that mean if you don’t execute the plan all the way? He said it better post game. Hey made the right trade today. But they need to sign two max guys. And those max guys need to be the right two guys who fit this team because if they aren’t, you are stuck with the wrong fit and two non assets on a young team that lacks stuff to flip them in this nba

The only game I maybe went overboard was Warriors for our anual win.

Gonna keep this updated. Greens are wins and red are losses. Smiley is for my good guess. for my bad guess.

23-31. So far en route for my prediction.

So his D is better? Glad he is getting physical thats important.
Last two points make sense. He hasnt had much real playing time to get chemistry with the team n get into the rythm of the game. Plus Adams is just a beast of a C.

How can Reggie talk with that much of Jordan Clarkson's jock in his mouth?

Uh, I misread 'jock' ....

I think a significant milestone for our development has finally happened in this stretch of games too... Up until recently, we had wins, but they'd all been nail biters... Games we sort of backed out of in a way. Now we have a few legit blow-outs under our belt... That's a good lesson for us... Have to know how to step on the neck and keep pressing.
