Cool, I wasn't sure if you were making a thread or not. Just delete mine.

Bamba's back.

It's good to get some of the guys back tonight. Please keep them coming and............................. Let's Go Magic!

Nice to see Bamba being back so quickly from COVID after having a longer battle with it last year.

And damn... Frazier is terrible

Wow, WCJ got screwed. Fouled on the drive but no call and then called for an illegal screen.

[jvdas]

our offense is straight up horrible.

I'm just not sure how people are so ready to get rid of Mo just so that they can be 'right'

I'd guess people are ready to get rid of him because he stinks

Agreed. I would keep him at the right price.

I would also tell him that he will make millions extra if he simply drops those periods of crap intensity and body language.

10/9/2 with 1 spg and 2 bpg and a 16 PER is not 'stinks' but okay. Not amazing, but definitely useful.

I just have trouble watching a guy thats 7 foot not able to back down a single guard and has to kick back out.

That's fine and I agree... so let's not overpay him and put him in the right situations

[thelead]

It's tough to look good on offense without a star or at least an NBA caliber PG.

[JTG_92940618]

Pritchard is a traffic cone.

[BCS]

Everytime I see Frazier, all I can think of is if Westbrook and Lowry could have a baby that is what he would look like.

Frazier is being less terrible right now

[JTG_92940618]

Wow we only have 2 turnovers, they have 13, and we're down 9. That shooting.

I grew up watching guys like that win DPOY while they hobbled up and down the court.

I think the whole Bamba criticism thing has taken on a life of its own. This organization used the number 6 pick on him and then did everything they could to **** up his development. I can't imagine why anyone would expect him to be anything resembling a finished product at this point, but that seems to be the expectation.

[Howard Mass]

OMG, Frazier didn't even touch Schroeder. Screw only a common foul, NO FOUL AT ALL.
