Franz could be a star if he'd just apply himself more (/be given that opportunity).

I’ve actually really liked Gary Harris as the vet option in the lineup. His style of play doesn’t impede the progress of our young guys like a lot of the vets we’ve had in previous rebuilds.

That being said, this off-season we should thank him for his service and try to upgrade that position.

Mitchell looks like he ready for the playoffs. Bad luck to run into this level of play here at the end of the year.

Since Orlando isn’t making the play-in, these types of games is needed for this ball club.

it honestly depends. It is the whole flow state thing. If the difficulty is too hard (like Mitchell clapping us), the team checks out mentally.

I just dont think we'll be able to stop then defensively. Markelle in the open court is jhst pretty impressive.

Yeah he just doesn't provide enough outside of spot up threes and defense. Like I guess that makes him a 3 & D player but it leaves a lot to be desired.

That miss by Fultz hurt...

Ah Markelle, that sequence is not going to endear you to the locals.

I can't believe the team shrugged off this third quarter haymaker from Cleveland and are only down by three right now

Been a long time since we have had a team with this kind of fight.

We obviously aren’t going to win every game but we’re never out of it. Very few losses where we’ve just rolled over and died.

I am so amped for this off season. I can't quite explain it. You can definitely feel that we are close to something very special

Watching Lavert is where you see what Gary is missing. Gary is a great shooter he just can’t effortlessly get his shot off against anyone like Lavert does. A Lavert like SG would make a difference imo

Paolo's handle is legit

Low key I was hoping they would make a comeback to see how the magic would respond down the stretch. Blow our wins are great... But grit and guts down the stretch is freaking awesome too!

Edit: Theeeen whoop their ass in the next game! Lol

For any criticism about Mosley, some of which is legitimate and some isn't, he's gotten this team to play hard on a very consistent basis which candidly is just as important as Xs and Os or sub patterns.

Okay, it's official. I love Goga him hustling like that to set a screen for Suggs just really impressed me for some reason

Damn, Mitchell

That was good defense on Mitchell by Suggs. But it was just straight up better offense
