Yea not the greatest shoots he was taking there. It's one of those if it falls its a good shoot. If he misses its a bad shot lol

But it's his best weapon right now.


I like the shot, it’s the hypocrisy of others that’s funny

Again, credit to Mosley for getting Paolo going in the paint first. He absolutely was getting different looks to start the game.

Games don't feel as fun without J.I though. Hope he's alright. He played a bit more minutes in the first game back and I guess responded poorly to it.

Well, at least Paolo ended February on a good note.

They've been working on adjustments to help him get going for sure.

Credit to Mosley for actually bringing paolo back earlier then he normally does. I think if he sits him to 4-5 min mark like he normally does and he doesn't have that close out to finish the game.

I don't dislike Markelle but his fans straw man arguments are very tiring.

Agreed. Just got to work on getting guys to cut and make themselves available.

Exciting game down the stretch. Great job Paolo. Certainly loosened up.... like literally... he looked freer with his dribble and his stroke. Good job coach mose feeding the beast. Markelle came down the court and each time.... sets it up for the cooking session.

It's a win on the road with big shots made down the stretch. We'll take that, absolutely.

We're not going away in the standings, but we're not really pushing either. We've essentially been alternating wins and losses. We'll need to string some wins together if we want to make it. I think we're in the enviable position where it's good for us no matter what happens. If we do go on a run and make the play-in, great. If not, we have a lottery pick.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Glad that Franz hit that last bucket, he's been struggling lately in late game situations so hopefully that helps him in upcoming games. This team is very young still.
