Franz just isn't a max player. What a stupid mistake that was.
And don't come at me because I do like Franz.

Jett is one of the worst defenders the Magic have had in a while. Low effort and extremely low awareness.

Hold on were people actually talking badly about Paolo saying he made us worse???
Just tuned in and wondering why I did ... and now WCJ hurt?

Night folks. I may tap out for a few weeks if this is how it's gonna be every night. Dallas isn't even doing anything special defensively. They literally just can't score. It's sad.

Half our board also thought Franz was better.... and he probably was in terms of just on court +/-, he's an analytical darling and important two-way guy for us, but Paolo is officially #1 offensively and it isn't close.
This should have been obvious in the playoffs last season

No. He’s not.
Max players keep you in games.

This offense ain't it, and the defense is terrible. We look like a lottery team.

This is just such small potatoes though.
If he's not a max player, he's still a 40M AAV player and the difference is just so minimal that it isn't worth fretting over.

They are getting looks they just aren’t making them. WCJ just missed a wide open jumper.

So is anyone ever going to show up in this game or we just going to watch Dallas score at will the entire game?

People turning on Franz is the most predictable nonsense of the season. That's for sure.

Man sucks seeing WCJ like that, easy to forget the mental toll getting hurt takes on them
