I like it, but at the same time I can't help but feel like Cole has a little Russell Westbrook "I'm gonna chase rebounds my bigs could get in an effort to increase my triple double chances" in him.

That is an intriguing observation. Didn't look at it from that angle. I'll definitely start paying attention to that going forward.

Why is it that the Magic feel as though they must give up 15 offensive rebounds a night?

Yep, again the effort is good but he really seems like he's stealing rebounds from the bigs. Again I have no way to justify that since I'm not out there playing, but it definitely looks like he gets in the way.

Bamba still showing the issues that he's always had. Wendell is able to to be consistent and fit within the flow of the offense and play smart defensively. Bamba has atleast been a threat in the paint. But outside of that he hasn't played well.


His IQ is in the toilet and he’s softer than Vuc. Gets pushed around by literally anyone he’s matched up with. I was rooting for him all these years but he just doesn’t have it.
My hope is that he plays well enough for an extended period so that we can snooker a team into trading for him. We should not sign this guy long term. Look a rookie in Wagner in his first week showing more understanding of the game than Bamba has shown in years.

There has been a few times he's hustling the ball with only his own team around, one play Bamba couldn't handle a board because Cole was in there. I don't want to assume it's stat chasing, but yes in general I dislike it when the guards go board hunting, especially when the bigs obviously have it covered

Robin is such a guilty pleasure of mine. He's already made garbage time so much more fun.

The only way he'll learn is to keep logging minutes.

The two man game with Iggy and Moe is something I would never EVER like to see again, not even in the most garbage of garbage time minutes

I like how Jalen Suggs played tonight but the defensive rebounding from this team was not good tonight.

Coach Mosely will hold them accountable. On to the next game.

Nah, I think he has to do it. Bamba can't seem to control a rebound with two hands. The best he can do is tip it. Someone needs to be there to get it. The coach literally told Cole to make this adjustment for game 3, so it's silly to criticize him for it.

Additionally, our team really struggles to pass into a fast break off a rebounded missed shot. (It's honestly kind of annoying.) You might as well let Cole get moving with it.
