His body language isn’t good. He’s in his head.

He’s been in his head since the ASB.

Mosley halftime adjustment was to stop rebounding the ball

Nah, tied at 10-10 is the best we did iirc.

NGL, the last thing I expected was Isaac to not play well. Maybe this is a bad matchup for him.

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

I said "mostly". It is apparent JI can not stay with Allen and Mobley in the paint this game. Plus JI is 1 for 7 from 3. I'd try something else

Not in this game.

It was 10-10 at one point.

It was 14-13 Cavs at one point as well.

Our offense is just so bad, Mosley should be swinging right now.

Small ball might have cracked this defense.

Imagine playing Harris/Howard(or having traded for a 3 point shooter/Caleb/Franz/Paolo.

Would create a ton of spacing for them to be point fowards.

Suggs is good. I’m happy. Not even worried about the series anymore.

We play a switching defense, and when Isaac has to leave Allen, no one can stop him. Goga outplayed Allen earlier in the season. Mosely is stubborn about playing him.

Once we pick up some shooting this offseason and start hitting shots next year….. it will feel like a prisoners first steak dinner after 20 years locked up

It’s my biggest gripe with him. He just doesn’t get after it or show any fire for that end of the court.

Just try to protect home court next 2 games.

Hornets interviewing Redick for head coach….. that was our guy. Actually invested in creating and being different in coaching.

We our stuck with hold them under 100 and hope we have a chance

Our coach is 1 0f 3 candidates for Coach of the Year. Are you serious? Stop the whining

Against this team nobody is going to bully their bigs.

Their bigs got brutalized literally in last year's playoffs by the Knicks.

They played scared and they were young. Similar to how the Magic look now... That frontcout is beastly with rebounding and size.

THIS.

Physically they were bigger than the 6'11 Mitch and 6'8 Randle but Jafro and Mobley were inexperienced on that type of PO basketball.

Exactly like us...

Next season it will be different for us.

Paolo with 1 rebound... Franz with 2... Suggs with 5 even though he got injured in the 1st.

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

True, but regardless Allen is arguably the best rebounder in the league, whilst Mobley is around 10-15. They're going to dominate when it comes the boards against most teams.

I mean it did look scary. Though the ACL thing was highly doomsday speculative. It could've been anything from a wide range of knee injuries, it was hard to tell. Good to see him out there, praying to god he doesn't aggravate/worsen it.
