Maaan, he's having a bad career...not a bad day.

Even the Jazz announcers mentioned it is unacceptable for a 3-year veteran like Bamba to be out of shape at any point of the season.

When he plays against sub-par competition, Bamba sometimes looks decent, sometimes makes an exceptional block or consecutive threes and all his blind fans get a boner. It's just unrealistic expectations on a limited player skill-wise.

Then a quality opponent appears and Bamba is "suddenly" back to his thrash performance and no effort, which nowadays is called "having a bad day".

I hope all can see tje reason why Bambi doesn't get consistent PT, especially against starting level competition under the basket.

15 made threes are Mo's fault.

So guys, this looks safe already right? Time for me to watch the audition of Suggs for our lineup

I ask this genuinely, did you think the Magic were going to finish the season on a 28 game losing streak or what?

Lol. You've been waiting 5 games for Bamba to have a bad stretch to unload your hate.

Bamba looks in shape to me.

I can tell you right now. As soon as everyone is healthy hampton is going into the doghouse. He is getting an ear full by an assistant on the bench. For what reason I'm not sure cause this game is a joke.

17 threes in the 1st half lol. Utah is really good.

Utah being ruthless. Crushing young dreams tonight.

This might be a lot worse than that GS/Tor game the other night....

WCJ is miles ahead of Bamba at the moment.

No. Nice strawman technology man. We are going to, at least, 50-50 against the other tanking teams. Getting wins against non-tanking teams means we are looking at 6-7 best odds unless we have our players go out there and lose on purpose (they wont/shouldnt).

Wedell Carter is way better than Mo in this game. That is why he earned the starting job

Dude, you’re just looking for reasons to hate and missing all the positives. Don’t games like tonight show you why he needs the minutes so he can learn against good competition?

In the last 3 games since the trade he is averaging:

11ppg on 9fgas (42% from 3 on 2 attempts/game)
6.7rpg
1.7apg
1.7bpg

in 17mpg, with a positive +/- as well, whilst the team is 2-1.

You can’t deny that there’s promise in that.

My condolences guys, Utah are just being cruel out there.

Empty the bench Snyder.

No doesn't have it. He is not passionate about basketball and he lacks the feel for the game mentally. Bamba is a really smart guy but that doesn't translate to basketball.

Utah is playing with fire if they play their starters in the 2nd half.

Not the type of game where you want to risk a major injury.
