I'm down for this team hiring a box out coach next year.

Frustrating game. Hopefully the team can rest up and come back rejuvenated after the break. Teams are locking in on Franz and Paolo though more than they were earlier in the year.

Bottom line is that those two guys need to figure it out and find other ways to help the team. Both of them were soft on the boards. Jakob destroyed our front court by himself.

Dude put up Timmy numbers tonight. If he played like that more consistently, I promise you the Spurs wouldn't have traded him lol.

Bo Outlaw and Dante do not have good chemistry

I’m just happy Suggs looks like a number 5 pick. Prob biggest worry in first half of season. That’s 3/3 now with our last few picks. Let’s make it 2 more this year.

We should hire Dwight Howard to be the box out coach.

We are going to have to focus on catching Washington, Chicago, and Indiana. Raptors are going to go on a roll post allstar break.

He's a VERY solid big. The problem is, he's going to get more than he's worth this summer. Toronto is going to overpay now that they gave up assets for him.

First 7 mins of the 3rd were puke worthy giving up offensive rebs after offensive rebs, that was the difference.

It would be awesome if the entire team goes to Utah to cheer on Franz and Paolo.

They got to get back into the lab and tighten up.... Also coach got to add some wrinkles, got to try some new sauce with Franz and paolo.... At this point they've been thoroughly scouted... Can't keep doing the same things over and over thinking it's going to change..... Hell paolo is not even getting the same whistle he was getting earlier in the year.... Even the refs adjusted(though I questioned the fairness) we have to adjust too...

Yeah he's solid and he would certainly provide the basic essentials we need at C that Wendell cannot provide. A shame we couldn't snag him.

Was that reporter asking about next season?

Rick Rolled · Post #355 » by **Rick Rolled** » Wed Feb 15, 2023 3:14 am

I just want to see JI get cleared for 20 minutes per game and see what him and Suggs do to opposing offenses.

Jalen’s game tonight was absolutely fantastic minus a few bad turnovers. His offense almost matched his defense.

Maybe the Raptors can perform hypnosis and tell him every game is against the Magic.

optimal season really.

my only issue, besides everything about cole anthony, is fultz.

even though he is playing about as well as he can play and i generally like him, he is dragging down franz and paolo due to his limited half court play making, decrease in our core's usage because you have to put the ball in fultz's hands, and his lack of gravity/unwillingness to put up high volume attempts from 3.

happy i stuck with suggs. start that man.

Sooo... did anyone dub Poetl as the newest Magic killer?

Playing .500 ball. Not even mad.
