What a horrible breakdown by us. Evan's basketball IQ leaving much to be desired in the 3rd. He stupidly helped off of Green this quarter which has allowed him to go off and now we are getting beat on the effort plays.

That 3 by Siakam after Vuc gave us the lead was massive. Kind of a bad shot, early in the clock, contested, not really his type of shot selection. But he drains it anyway. If he misses that and the Magic rebound and score, things could start to go downhill for them. Instead, he makes it, and a minute later Fournier leaves Green again who makes a huge 3, and that Magic run may as well have never happened.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- 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.

Clifford going to take Ross until halfway through the 4th, give him a minute or two rest, the close with him. We need him to score 20 from here on out or we lose.

Y’all gotta do something about Fournier. Stuff him in a locker or something.

That’s not really an excuse. He’s an all star. He shouldn’t get shut out by a matchup...but that’s just who he is.

Shaq used to look pedestrian against Yao. Big immovable guys that are smart and know how to play defense will cause trouble for the most skilled C’s.


I see the point you are trying to make and I agree but I don't think anyone made Shaq look pedestrian more less Yao, lol.

I want to grab a good wing prospect in the draft, resign Ross and then pull a Biz-for-Moz type deal involving Fournier. Just swap unwanted parts with another team and move on.

I’ve resigned myself to accepting this and know Fournier and Vuc aren’t the answer.

I don't know if MCW-Iwundu lineups can sustain for long.

You act like gasol isn’t one of the best defenders at his position and they Toronto hasn’t been double and some times triple teaming Vuc.


And? he's an all-star. And hes played well against Gasol before. These excuses need to stop.

They can’t win this game playing this kind of defense.
