I would have rather lost to Lebron than JR Smith. He's gotta be top 10 most annoying players to lose to.
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.

So, when we have 2 guys that can actually shoot the ball, on the floor at the same time, we can at least compete?

I really want to see us start Ibaka or Biyombo at center with AG at the 4 on Tuesday. I don't know if Vogel has it in him to do it.

Pretty apparent that we play better with a smaller lineup.

Well JR is one of those guys that when he gets on a roll it don't matter who is guarding him.

And to think, we're 12-22 at the free throw line.

And notice how The Magic are doing this with a smaller lineup and no Aaron Gordon or Jeff Green at 3.

I am telling you guys, once they unclog the offense, confidence goes up all around and everything comes together including on defense.

You'd still prefer someone be guarding him...

Rob has a problem on his hands. We can't play Ibaka at the 4. That much is sure. The game has sped up too much for that. One of our centers (and Ibaka is one) has to go. At least it's easy to trade a big and get decent value back.

Also, Evan Fournier is a major problem
