I'd prefer Goga starting over Mo for defense

but regardless minutes for him, Mo, & Isaac at the 5 will increase

Wtf.....season is cooked. I might start Goga but I don't think it matters. ****

Dat fool just got sonned by AD.. then Zubac and was imploding in the 4th Q tonight.. throwing his headband off the court. He hadn't gotten off to a good start this year except for two hot shooting quarters.

I mean okay I guess. He is still easily the 3rd most important player on the team when it comes to winning games especially when he gets out of this slump. I think people forgot what seeing Mo for 30 minutes looks like. At least Bol Bol isn't here to make things worse. I don't know what the schedule looks like but this is going to be tough regardless.

The guards will need to step up the intensity. Don’t know if that’s even possible

Moritz was the starting center when last year when the Magic won 6 in a row and 8 of 9 in December. So maybe there's some hope.

Mo starting will give us an offensive boost. With Paolo's leveling up on defense I'm honestly not that concerned.

Paolo scoring 30 pts on 13 shots is incredible

I don't think Goga is bad. I think we can survive this.

In an ideal world, I'd love JI to step in at C, he showed how much he can influence a game on the defensive end, he'd be a mennace.

BUT, there is ZERO chance that happens. Still on minutes restriction, no back to backs, its still a pipe dream

Heres hoping. We wont have any shotblocking thought. AD and Bron will feast

I'd rather start Goga and keep Moe on the bench for that scoring punch

Also I think the usage being upped for Paolo/Franz might be nice compare to Moe who will def get his shots up lol

C spot is one we can't afford injury. Damn.

Carter doesn't really block shots either, but I get what you're saying.

exactly where i was going with that....Goga doesn't really need the ball but he'll do what a center is supposed to do rim protect and rebound....arguably two aspects of the game he may be better than dell at

Don't remind me, last season when he started, he'd consistently shoot more than Paolo or Franz in the 1st quarter :nonono:

Suggs had a big rebound at the end of the 4th

He will make the court smaller for the team though cuz unlike WCJ, opponents know he wont chuck 3s so they will pack it in.

Hers hoping the defense offsets that.
