Next game is gonna be uuuuuugly. OKC is a lot like us. Kinda slow pace, horrible offense & elite defense. Wonder if the winner scores over 90

First to 90 wins lol

In 80s in Europe there was myth among coaches that first team that scores 62 points wins in 90% cases
Magic and OKC could make that myth true

I feel like Fournier in the SL is hurting the offense. He's the only one consistently scoring, but maybe swapping Ross and Fournier will do two things.

1) A starting lineup of PG Fultz, SG Ross, F Issac, F Gordon, C Vuc are more fluid, less selfish and the whole team will benefit with getting the hot hand and better D.
2.) Uniting both DJ and Fournier on bench will give necessary scoring to our bench unit.

Ross is not as good as Fournier , would not work . Ross should only get big minutes if he is on , if he is off he brings nothing to the table

We should just run our offense thru Fultz. Plain and simple. Evan is not a creator. I think they are still worried about giving Markelle too much too fast and that seems perfectly reasonable. But I think in time more and more of the offense is gonna be given to Fultz. Fournier will be much better playing a secondary role.

We're already 0-2 in close games (Atlanta and this one). We really should've won this, we made some poor offensive choices down the stretch.

There were glimpses lay night of an interesting new buddyball combo between Fultz and Gordon. They complemented each other cutting and laying off the ball, which gives ORL something other than the usual PnR plus clanking treys off the rim. There's also the possibility of a nice change of pace with them working together, upping the tempo and getting in behind defenses.

Didn’t get to see this game. I see that Fultz started, and Vuc and AG ended up having better games. Was Fultz setting them up better or were they simply getting their heads out of their rears?

Was nice seeing someone dribble into the lane with their head up for a change.

If it wasn't for Vooch, this game woulda been a blowout.

I hear ya, but that's not how the NBA works. The teams who get the most calls are always the teams who cry the most - and continue to cry even when they're getting all the calls. Our guys need to go after the refs relentlessly, even if it results in T's, just so we're on their radar.

Right now, this team doesn't have that tenacious player(s) who will haul ass on a ref who thinks they can just walk all over them. You need some attitude on this team in order for some respect to be given.

Not being funny, but MCW is kinda that guy for us. He gets after it if calls don't go his way.

But we need a Lowry. That dude defends every player and looks like a startled chipmunk the entire time. And it's worked for Toronto.

Although I will give MCW some credit for trying to be that guy, He won't be enough. This team needs more nice/nasty type players if they want to fight for more respect in this league.
