I don’t like this one at all.

You guys really need to start getting on players besides blaming every single coach's rotations since SVG left... no reason why the same players shouldn't be able to put forth similar effort

He played that bench of journeymen and one young player until 5 minutes were left in the half with thoroughbreds sitting on the bench watching.

I’m going to need Paolo to be aggressive in this game.

Cole is scoring well but he’s not making the guys around him any better tonight. There was no cohesion or order with that bench unit. And now the starters come back in cold and lose the lead. Gotta balance the hot hands between them a bit more with sun patterns.

I don’t think WCJ is bad, but I think this team will have to upgrade at some point.

I just feel like we had a ton of momentum and these rotations took a shot gun to our momentum.
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

To be real, rotations are going to look funky until it's a 9 man rotation but it's too early to do that.
