This ORL team is gonna be a tough out in the first round for those up top. Banchero really blossoming into a leader

These past 2 games were chances for Randle to step up and prove his doubters wrong.

He proved them right.

How many years of losing with Randle will we endure? How many is enough ffs

He’s an average player that’s why no other team wants him because he’s cancer to the team. Lazy and low iq

I’ll never understand when people say that we don’t need an actual playmaker for the 2nd unit. Or to just spell Brunson in general when he’s out or to let him play off ball when healthy.

20 assists today. Our bench got outscored 49 to freaking 20.

We got Josh Hart being asked to dribble into traffic, take fade-away jumpers and brick 3s.

McBride has been shooting the lights out but he plays like a smaller wing to me. Absolutely valuable but I don’t see an orchestrator at all.

Yes Randle was garbage but this lack of creation or fluidity into our offensive sets is horrible. It’s like we enjoy dribbling 15 seconds off the clock and we’re stuck in the mud.

it is going to get ugly with randle's ankle. brunson is injured. i think you have no choice but to trade for dejounte murray. there's no guarantee a better star will ask out in the summer.

Sacrificed some sleep for this trash

Maybe we don't need to wait until playoffs to determine we should move on from Julius

Make no mistake, he brings physicality, playmaking, some rebounding, and scoring we need to replace, harder to replace than we think. I wanna give Ju a chance as I think he's improved somewhat mentally, but the risk he's gonna completely suck in playoffs is still there and it's pretty high

We need another offensive go-to guy and an upgrade from Randle before we can expect to go anywhere!!

DDiv was hot in the 3rd and Thibs took him out and didn't put him back in till 5 mins left in the game. Yet last game he played McBride and iHart 30 minutes straight. Thibs is a F'n moron with no feel for the game.

The 2nd unit is basura without a shot creator. Deuce is a dog defensively, but he's not a shot creator. Hart was ass because he's not a shot creator. This team needs a bench shot creator.
BIRD UP!

Murray is much easier to be moved if a star is available

The Magic couldn't beat anybody, but of course they have their way with the Knicks.

Why don't we worry about beating them first before we talk ECF?
