We really gonna go the entire half without a 3? Could we possibly go the entire game? I wonder when that last happened.

He twisted his ankle when he got hurt the first time chasing a loose ball.

Nah they're fine they need to get Fultz and Carter back though. I'm not a fan of guys losing their starting jobs to injuries.

To be fair, he's hurt in 80% of the games he plays in, but yeah, training staff had to nix him coming back in.

either way, he shouldn't have been back in. I can't believe the staff wasn't with him when he first went to the bench.

It annoys me that Mosley limits Black's mins no matter what happens on the court, unless Black makes a mistake and he limits them further

I think the point is it's clear we need Carter and Fultz back as they're clear upgrades compared to Goga and Black. Nobody is arguing about the future as most of us know this team is not done building.


They are clear upgrades but solve nothing about the deficiencies of the lineup. Fultz solves nothing offensively and Carter is basically a net negative on offense, so what’s the argument?


Brother, you admitted they are better options that would impact this team when it comes to winning.

Why the hell is it so hard for you to admit it? Seriously, your disdain anything Fultz is ridiculous.

I'm a Fultz fan and I can admit he might not be right as the long term starter. Why can't you admit that he actually helps this team win games. It's really weird to me you'd go so far.


The smarter take is that there are better players that aren’t Fultz that make more sense to be had. You dont want to hear that though.

It didn't look like he was grabbing at his ankle that last time around when he went down.

It looked like he was grabbing around the Achilles area.

That’s why it’s called faith - there’s no guarantee.

If they go into the half down by 15 or less they still have a shot.

He twisted his ankle when he got hurt the first time chasing a loose ball.


They showed that in super slow motion and it barely looked like he turned anything. If he did it was barely anything.

Then for someone with a bum ankle he got really high on that block, landed normally then grabbed his ankle.

High ankle sprain.
