I truly hope that there is a disconnect between Mose and the FO...because I like Mose and I'd rather learn that this foolishness isn't largely his own fault. However, Weltman will likely be the one left standing if it comes down to it

Last time Black started he went 1-10 in three games and looked like a bad fit next to Paolo/Franz. Looked good off of the bench. Now he's struggling a bit off the bench.

Cory Jo went +14 in the short time he played last game - everybody loves this stat here when it comes to Paolo :D

It should be a blessing for AB and a chance for him to run the 2nd unit without Paolo/Franz dominating every possession. But AB isn’t taking ownership of that like he needs to be.

I’ll turn on Mosley before I accept this. Acceptance is the last stage of grief.

How is this any different than what they have been doing since Jalen's been out? It's literally have been different players while Paolo and Franz has been the main ballhanders.

Weltman is the problem.

Go Raptors. And McClung.

Remember a few hours ago when people wanted us to sign the dude that punched Mo in the back of the head last year?

It's not new...it's just terrible. Ask Mrs. Banchero...no assigned roles, no hierarchy, no idea what tonight or any night will look like or even what it should look like...just roll it out and see what happens, y'know - like Magic.

Y'all hear one quote from a disgruntled mom and run with it lol.

Did they not have roles the entirety of last season? Bench was bench mob, 3rd stringers often started for the 1st stringers when they got injured, Paolo/Franz/Suggs then everyone else in terms of how the offense ran.

Same with this year. Franz stepped up for Paolo when he got hurt, Suggs stepped up for Franz when he got hurt... then everything went to mush.

Now a bunch of players are struggling and that has consequences and they're acting like they have no idea why someone might play over them. Neither coaches nor players are telling Cole to hog the ball and subsequently AB to pick up his dribble randomly.

Whoever is watching that monitor is going to call an ambulance once they see the spikes that occur once we start falling apart.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I guess they stopped guarding Wendell. He's getting touches on every possession

I’m so over this. I’m onboard with Mosley benching him if he does this. It’s the worst habit.
