AB has always been a PG.


He's not even remotely a PG not sure what you are watching
He guards the PG and brings the ball up regularly. He just isn't asked to create offense. He's asked to hand it off to Paolo or Franz. PG will be his eventual position.

Saving him for like a 15 minute 2nd half or what?


Probably shouldn't burn him out on a B2B. Save that juice for the 2nd half.


Yeah... the dreaded 3rd quarter is here... time to usr him to.plug off whatever Luka is gonna do to us.

Not sure when coaches submit their votes but hopefully this helps. When do they announce reserves? This Thursday?

Yup. I'm sure a bunch have already submitted but there should be some lagging

Don't understand why anyone would hate on AB anyway, he's just a rookie..... I swear paolo and Franz has spoiled people.... Usually rookies aren't good right away

Wanna see us drive to the rim a bit in the 2nd half. Can't rely on shooting all night.

Franz has taken more of a backseat so that Paolo can shine. Mosley isn't staggering their minutes as much it seems so Franz has less 'me time'. Maybe I'm off there.

Also why do box scores wait so long to credit Isaac for a block? He swatted Luka before fouling him but they said "Nope, that's not a block".

I don't understand the argument is about AB, but at the end of the day he's a PG. The question is will he be able to take those responsibilities away from Paolo/Franz full time. The ideal situation he becomes good enough to where it's a shared duty between him/Paolo/Franz. If so it's a lethal problem to have. I just want him to become good enough to take the duties away from Cole.

I hate such a love/hate relationship with Paolo

Love his game, love the confidence, love the leadership

Hate those pretty layups, hate the crying after foul calls, hate the lack of power finishes

Look even if this second half isn’t as good, I LOVE that AB is being aggressive. He needs to quiet that Murray and Tyus talk and show he isn’t as far off as he has seemed.

I'm pretty sure no other player gets no credit on blocks more often than Isaac

Damn that’s depressing when you put it like that. Also makes me both miss Tmac and love that we have Paolo.

We just know that Luka is about to have a crazy second half but if we can just settle down the rest of their players, we might have a chance.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)
