Some of Moe's effectiveness, when it comes to team impact, hinges on JI. Those two desperately need each other to cover their flaws.

Re: Official 2025-2026 Regular Season Thread
Sounds like they want to get away from the iso ball. Long term it probably is the right answer though there have been and will continue to be some growing pains. I mean you see it with Paolo, they've clearly told him to look to pass more. It is hard to argue with trying to functionally change this offense a bit given how bad it has been. I still think they could have Franz with the ball in his hands more making decisions, but we'll see how things shake out.

Going after the coaching for the lack of offensive creativity (at the 56:00):

I agree, and most definitely the reason why JI hasnt been getting minutes in previous game. Goga and JI is a terrible terrible fit.

Goga and Moe might be effective. But we won't know till we see it happen

Re: Official 2025-2026 Regular Season Thread
Penda may be an answer at center. Collin Murray Boyles is playing center for the Raptors tonight, and he's smaller than Penda.
At around the 2:00 mark, they played Penda at the 5, Isaac at the 4, Franz at the 3, TDS at the 2, and Tyus at the 1. For 4 minutes, and had a +33 net rating. I think they found something with this lineup.
