No no no. Fultz could make Paolo's game even easier. He is a pass first PG. Paolo was gonna find himself sooner than later. It was gonna come. I do not think it has too much to do with Fultz being out

When Fultz is in, he makes the game harder for Paolo when he doesn't have the ball. All Fultz does is stand in the corner and let the defense sink into the paint to force harder shots. If that's Harris or Cole the defender can't help off as much and Paolo has a bigger lane to operate and score.

That was just how many possessions of the game? You can see from the game. We need someone to set others up especially with all the shooters on the floor. i am going to reiterate my stance: If you have no shot maker on the floor, spacing does not matter

Just being honest with you, all signs point to Fultz being gone. So I don't think the fit conversation is the biggest issue.

Just jokes from me. Philly is a rough town and I wanted to get a dig on the city :lol:

I had them neck and neck. Happy with Black

-_-

You did not. Stop it

I didn't? Well, true, I was on the Keyonte train

But I should have had them in the same tier

We should have won this game going away. We gotta get better in crunch time.

That said its a win. Good to see us able to win a game where our defense actually didn't carry us. Our stars Paolo and Franz actually played like stars. Besides that horrific shot at the end Cole played a good game as well. Black did some good things. Not sure where we can find minutes for him but we'll see. Theres alot of positive to take from this game.

It’s all good and part of the fun. I have no problem saying I had Jabari 1, Chet 2, and Paolo 3.

Well you sure as **** don’t sound like a Magic fan bitching about how terrible the win is and why is doesn’t matter. Our #1 pick shows up for the first time this season and you have a lot to say about why it doesn’t matter.

Maybe read the fuqin room?

I just the way you say things it comes across poorly. But it is okay, I used to be that way as well.

Thank God we didn't draft Jabari, dude is on a role player track, lol.

He finally started shooting ok and getting rebounds, i hope he's ok. I wouldn't mind giving either JI a break or both to let Goga get some burn bc they have both been hot dumpster fire so far.

How are people acting like there was spacing tonight lol. The starting guards made zero 3's lol.

Paolo played well because he's good and he made it happen. Thats what he's supposed to do. He's our #1 pick. He's that guy.

Great win.. and you love to see Paolo being the one to carry us across the finish line

Black looked good too. Nice defense and nice movement off the ball too.

What are we going to do at the PG position the rest of the way.. it ain’t Fultz.. it ain’t Suggs.. is it already Black szn?

Spacing isn't just about making threes. Its about the defense reacting to certain players vs others

I agree with you though. Paolo played well because he played well. In the same way he played bad before because he was just bad. I don't think he is one of those players who is effected too much by what is around him. He is too big and skilled for that.

Yeah, I believe Paolo was going to snap out of it eventually, he is too good not to. But providing him with shooters would help him a lot.

Now cash in some non-essential pieces and get a real starting guard in here.

AB deserves some minutes, he showed up tonight when given the chance.
