Like watching a replay of the games that killed last season.

Cole is hot, but is he freezing out Black?

Was hoping for more defensively out the gate.

This is like prime Lebron "foul on you" levels of officiating.

He seems to be on bad terms with defense too.

Now, we'll bring in our starters against their second unit.

you mean by lofting it 15 feet in the air so JI doesn't block it. Kudos to making it but thats not a great shot...imo.

Black playing the 3 is exactly why minutes wont be difficult to find for him

Zion when healthy one of the 15 best basketball players on the planet?

I had a feeling this game would look like this but I didn't wanna jinx it. But I just had this gut feeling they would come out flat.

Cole as a spark off the bench is his best role.

Isaac has been close on a few of those fga's. He just needs the minutes and reps.

Ingles isn't playing.

Also Black playing the 3 isn't really ideal for him or the Magic.

This is not a pretty game for us but we would be getting absolutely crushed if it wasn’t for Cole. This bench lineup ain’t it.

I guarantee you we do not have a Zion stopper on this team

Oh i know... but at least get the heavy weights to bump him like wcj and goga.

Zion has been playing against our second unit.

You just have to sag way off of Zion and block the lanes off.

Other teams just don't miss....
