This is awful. I think this was our most embarrassing loss of the season.

I dunno they look like they need practice. This isn't the team of the first few months and last year. We look like a tanking team, to be honest.

10 missed free throws in regulation and a bad bad Paolo game.

Man. Paolo was God awful out there. Costly turnovers, and every shoot was brutal. Guy is worse than Shaq from the FT line

that offensive foul on Paolo when we were up 6 in the first OT was game for us

Franz also completely ran outta gas at the end of regulation into OT. Same ****. No need for oversensationalize

I mean that game was just over twice if Paolo just plays in the flow of the offense. They had no chance in 2nd OT, conditioning just isn't there yet on Paolo/Franz.

I just don't like it when they practice the team when they only have 1 day off. We always come out really flat.

We will get rid of Mosley first before we trade Paolo!

He had his head up his ass the entire game. Magic win that one easily if PB plays fewer minutes.

I have no idea what happened to the excellent coaching of Mosley while Franz and Paolo were injured. I'm not going to lie, I liked watching that team more.

That offensive foul call on Paolo that brought them back in OT seemed awful, but man it should have never gotten there. That was like unloseable just don't do what Paolo did the end of the 4th and OT lol. Anything but that.

Our stars were gassed. Goga was on a minutes restriction (he better have been). Paolo was terrible. Franz was bad. And KCP isn't giving us anything close to what his contract suggests he should deliver.

On the bright side, AB looked solid and JI is returning to form. We just have way too many deadweight contracts right now to get to that next tier. Honestly, we're better than the heat but not by much.

And one more thing, again, who the hell is the shooting coach? We lost the game at the free throw line going 15-25 tonight. Something has to give.

I guess we can put that Anfernee Simons talk to bed now, team CLEARLY doesn’t need any help out there. Did KCP even play tonight ??

Paolo in the 4th Q and both overtimes.

2/8 FG and 5 turnovers.

This is all on clanking 15/25 from the line, everything else is noise.

RookieStar · Post #478 » by **RookieStar** » Tue Jan 28, 2025 3:31 am

Yeah... we did everything we could to lose this game

Even if we want to beat on Paolo, I know he is probably beating up on himself.

No question his misplay cost us the game, and Franz on a lesser degree

I attribute it more to his need for conditioning than anything however. I dont think its something worth going on a tirade for, because reality is, oblique injuries take time to recover from, so in reality we should expect more inconsistent play from both Paolo & Franz for the rest of the season.
