this game isnt worth it

Yeah, he's had his Willis Reed moment, restoring morale to the team. Other than that it's not worth it if he's compromised, focus on G3.

Hell, Josh Hart would be our best rebounder


Are you serious? It is mostly due to size and we do not have with this lineup

I already know how you feel about Mose, I think you're wrong. You're not saying anything I haven't heard fans say 8 of the coaches that lost. Fans always think their coach is the worst. New coach comes in, same complaints.

They aren't rebounding over Isaac, it's the guy on the switch every time or Paolo. We should go big.

as someone who plays guard/forward at times in pickup, im regularly the best rebounder in the game, because its far more than just a size thing, its about fundementals & effort

Mosley is annoying me. It’s time to waive the white flag. We are not winning this game. The rest of this game should be about finding something positive to take to game 3. Let’s give Goga some run. Hell give Caleb and Black some run. The goal should be to find positive from somewhere. Anywhere

Are you implying that a team with Rodman, Barkley, Hart, etc are getting outrebounded by Moe Wagner, Isaac, and WCJ because they're taller?

Paolo is about as soft as it gets as an interior defender/rebounder. Just no effort whatsoever.

Paolo just doesn't play big, play closer to the basket

I’m not saying to fire the guy lol.

I just think Orlando got better because they have 3 guys developing +1 coming back from the crypt.

I don’t think you understand. Just because you are big doesn’t make you a great rebounder a good example is Bol Bol
