Don't like Isaac on an island with their guards. He's much more of a factor when he can roam and help weakside.

i think people's biggest issue with Gary is that he's unreliable......and unfortunately he is.....he's in street clothes right now....not his fault but it's part of the game.....best ability, availability

This is a big part of why they keep getting to the rim.

We should up more than 4 pts. This is concerning.

Cavs have shot really bad at 3 pt line

The defense needs to improve big time

They weren't making these crazy layups in the first 5 games so I'm not really going to sit here and say the defense is bad. A couple of them may have been easy but a lot of them were way up there trying to get over 6'10 guys. I think we miss Gary in this regard as he helped prevent them from every getting all the way to the basket

If he cared about winning the game he'd empty the clip....but he's going to live and/or die by who he trusts more

Magic are not giving up 3s and Cavs are making tough layups. It's the strategy Mosley implemented, most likely because Cavs are playing Mobley at center and can spread the floor.

Can't believe this but I miss Gary Harris and his near-zero offensive contributions

We need better defense to close out this game, some sign of life from the bench would be great too

Anthony Black should be playing. Watching Fultz and Cole is a disgrace

They don't have Allen and Mobley (for now), so I guess the adjustment was to go small. We haven't adjusted for that.

Post like this dont understand that it's not really about "rim protection". It's about rotations and stopping penetration or making it harder to get to the rim.

In today's NBA where it's about switches and 3 point shooting it's more on that. They've done a very poor job in this half.

i don't think it's that black and white but i guess both can be true


For myself it's usually that straight forward. Outside of the 2020 Lakers and 2021 Bucks most of the teams that have won a title in the last 10 years did not have "rim protection". Just really versatile big who could stay in front of perimeter players.

our bench play has been disgusting which is ridiculous considering its a home game
