Suggs needs to dial his energy back on offense. He is ready to jump out of the arena.

Absolutely agree. Big coaching mistake not getting him back in there at least 3 minutes earlier.


Conspiracy fan theory : coach saw his jingling man boobs and knows he needs to lose weight... thus more playing time?

It's also the first game. They're not going to pull Ingles early because he sucked lol

Only one game

I hate this reply. You know I'm not talking about just this game. I was hoping for him to develop into a star with a defensive mindset like previous generation star SG's. Seems content with being a Jamal Crawford instead of a Kobe.

Yeah... but to think they signed FVV and Brooks with those ridiculous contracts as vets, you would think they are trying to compete..


Front office said they are trying to compete now hence the signings but honey I think they are rushing things. They really should have took the magic approach. It’s early but they are no where near competing. Those contracts will hurt I believe.

I'm more so thinking he shouldve been pulled because Franz specifically & Paolo played great in the 1st

My only conclusion from the first half is I love the new logo. When they announced it I thought "cool, whatever" but man it pops on the court and on the jerseys.

Yeah... well scouting report and prediction was right. He is a no-conscience with horse-blinders on scoring machine in the SG spot.

Thus that was why we wanted him after Cade over the likes of Mobley Suggs and etc.

Like the defense, need to clean up the turnovers... Need to get P5 in better scoring positions.... EVERYTHING can't be created, we need to get him some easy ones
