Amen. Exactly my read

Nobody wanted our pace last year though before these 3 games lol

yes but you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Wtf was that turnover from AB?

I think you give it 15-20 games, but if the offense shows no improvement and the defense continues to be this bad, you just have scrap the pace thing completely, right?

Dante is in year 20 and still an awful game announcer.

AB just is a low confidence player. Thats not a reliable player.

Depends on what motivates guys to get into the zone though. Does Paolo level up when he’s mad or does he make more mistakes because he’s not thinking clearly?

When do they have players only meeting? This week or the next one?

The first and most obvious thing that needs to happen is AB needs to be out of the rotation. I do not care, he doesnt deserve minutes.

So far this season it has been Franz and Suggs.

You can move everyone else and it wouldn’t matter.

Team needs to scratch the increased pace style and just go back to grinding. This ain't it. I'm done watching players fumble the ball all over the place.

By New Years for me, so an extra 5 or so games

Jeff Weltman taking a festering hot steamer with our 2024 Lottery Picks has damaged this franchise. His FA signings and trades killed it.

But Orlando fans still don’t get it.

Paolo with -16 +/-
What a leader.

It looks like TDS is losing his rotation minutes. I'm glad that expirement is over.

Encapsulates the season so far. Easy steal, dribble off foot, open three.

Can't even hold on to a steal...OMG
