Paolo looked like he pushed off with the ball into Giannis' chest

I mean you might as well have said “Paolo needs to improve”, ya know?

Not knocking you, but like… no kidding lol.

The number of NBA players who have stepped in and absolutely dominated the league on both ends of the floor from day 1 in the modern era probably less than 10?

WCJ couldn’t be a worse fit with Paolon if we tried. Needs to be moved this off-season. Or come off the bench

So you have to fall to the floor to get the offensive charge... I guess it's always been that way

Fultz and Anthony have both at points done a great job at trying to keep us in this.

Paolo making threes more consistently will lead him down the path of stardom more than defense will :lol:

He’s a career 32% 3pt shooter shooting 32% this year. He shouldn’t be taking as many as he does. He has a Steph Curry green light for some reason.

And believe me…

Tonight’s weak defensive effort aside, the Magic’s defense as a whole is almost good enough to contend *right now*. Defense and depth has what’s been carrying them since the 5-20 start.

Their lack of 3PT volume and accuracy is what’s holding them back and going to continue to hold them back until it’s addressed.

Everyone on the team has the same green light.

Moritz is just one of the few selfish enough to always shoot when he’s open.
