Coach always knows how to make the games intriguing to me. Time to get our payback on the Hawks!

The no Franz effect on rotations and lineups is crazy

So watching Paolo boss games with the ball in his hands, and Franz as a great secondary creator, I'm coming round to the idea of Suggs as that off ball, 3rd option PG. We try and find a gun of a SG in FA / trade and that would be a killer lineup.

I can not see any iteration of a starting 5 with Fultz at 1 that works with Paolo / Franz

He really wants to test Paolo surrounded by shooters.

But why Okeke? And why haven’t we recalled Jett? It would be a perfect opportunity for him to be playing today.


Yeah what's the word on Jett? Is there a particular part of his game they're really not happy with?

We love length and don't need a ball-hog at the two... leads me to think Mikal Bridges would be amazing if we could somehow land him. Suggs and Mikal would be deadly on defense.

I love that Mosley is toying with lineups this aggressively! He’s really leaning into Paolo + shooters. Interesting to see Goga back out there, I hope we see him in similar actions to what Moe was doing.

Cole, Fultz and AB all off the bench together. Interesting choice.

Good for Okeke he listened to coach when he said "shoot the F.....g ball!" and now he's starting.

Wild. I like Okeke's game, actually. I think he's been looking really good lately

Still can't get run when half of your team is out? Damn what a waste of that 2nd pick

What Fultz is actually playing? I still plan for his knee to swell up last moment. This is Fultz we are talking about.

He is still out.

Franz has been a rock for so long it doesn’t feel right he is missing games.

Exactly

I have a feeling it's defense and maybe approach to the game that's keeping him off the court. Long-term, it's probably best what Mosely is doing to him.

There is no way that he's being kept off the court due to his offense.
