Those rotations were garbage… Wagner and Paolo played together way too long. Fultz and Anthony just should not see the court together. Them playing two bigs and is just having Mo
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

Black, as a bigger guard, eventually needs to learn to bully his way into the paint against smaller guards the same way that Brogdon is bullying Cole right now.

Give Cole credit though he is still fighting for those boards and affecting impacting the game.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

We're playing good enough, Portland hitting pull up jumpers..... Man Robert frickin Williams hitting jumpers.... I don't think I seen him attempt a jumper when he was in Boston

Lol half the thread is saying they're not playing together enough and people are saying way too long now.. there are no rotations to please everybody..

(unless you meant Moe, but yeah I would prefer Isaac/Paolo)

Yeah, I don’t like the Fultz/Cole lineup AT ALL. Terrible. At least throw Harris out there with one of them.

He joked about why he’s so good last year in a postgame press conference with Wendell. It was something about when he’s up in there air, looking around I might as well get that ball while it’s there. It was pretty funny and Wendell couldn’t stop laughing.

D-bag could have injured Isaac. Should have been intentional.

Isaac looking to rival Embiid for fall-rate.

Portland getting a lot of second chance points. If the Magic can clean that up they'd be up big.
