Sam Presti makes a ton of moves and has a young up and coming team at the top of the west.

Weltman make next to no moves and has a young up and coming team destined for the play-in.

We desperately need proactive management.

Amen to that. Just can't sustain any defense with Cole, Ingles, and Moe in the game at the same time.

No Fultz in the 4th is nice to see

But considering we keep doing this, why is Fultz starting at all?

The playoff games without shooters are going to be rough.

My favorite part of this game is Stan Van Gundy constantly pointing out how the Magic do not have shooting. As an architect of the last Magic team built on shooting, it must be astounding to watch this team over a decade later suck at the thing that his team led the league transformation on.

I know that, scoring 11 in a row to start the 4th is unreal regardless of who though.

I don't know how many timeouts that OKC has, but they really know how to use it.

Indeed. Glad he is pointing it out so the media puts some pressure on the lazy front office

PAOLO IS SPECIAL

Weltman wasting a second of this kid's career is criminal behavior.

The bench isn't catching people by surprise anymore.... Cole is back in his funk.... Joe Ingles can't guard anybody.... Gary Harris is inconsistent.... So is moe Wagner and all three of those guys can't guard
