Play Goga and WCJ together if Isaac is off the court. Wendell could get hot if he’s not trying to defend a behemoth like Allen.

To be fair to Joe, I think he would be way more effective and a good piece if the players around him had some offensive threat. But he's out there with really bad players who don't score more than 7 points a game.

We are getting exposed to another level. There is nothing being run out there. Spamming isos and praying that Paolo can save us. Wow.

if it’s an ACL he is out all next year.

not necessarily. ACL is usually somewhere between 8-10 months.

One bright spots if that's the case is that our FO will almost certainly have to get 2 new guards in the offseason, right?

Our medical team is very conservative with ACLs. Look at Fultz and Isaac
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

If Magic wants to win this game, Cole and Fultz need to be contributing.

The sad news is a really bad playoff series like this does actually taint the whole season for the Magic and us. It's as bad as a 39 win season.

Suggs was the only playable guard. This sucks so much. Having to watch Fultz, Harris, and Cole is just going to be brutal.

Offensive Players? Clearly not many... we really need like 2-3 more scorers/shooters during the offseason.

At this point we may as well. What’s one more bricklayer? At least it could put some defensive energy.

By blow up do you mean “become a fan of the Thunder instead”?

I'm so used to disappointment that I'll continue to watch. I want to see Mosely make a change.

The cavs struggle with physicality. We need to play goga to bang bodies with them.

Jalen probably has mcl. That hit dont look good

A lot, it’s just matchup and form dependent.

Like, if we want defense in the backcourt we’ve got Black. Fultz isn’t giving us that or anything else.
