He'd be better than Michael Jordan if that were the case

Yeah, Austin Reeves and Lebron never fouled once!

We missed too many free throws…

Had too many unforced turnovers…

Made some DUMB mental errors…especially the clear path by Franz and Cole down the stretch leaving Harris open TWICE for 3 to instead take contested elbow jumpers.

As bad as we played we could have won. Frustrating

True but the rest of the game counts as well and he wasn't good.

Paolo was definitely the worst. I'm not worried. For sure not worried. Definitely not worried. Probably not worried

Paolo needs to improve his shots. But he is still 20 years old. And I think this season he hit a wall. He needs to find a way to score with better efficiency. I think he can do it, whether it takes 3 games or 4 games. But I think he can be a very good player for us this year.

He's great defensively but out of control 90% of the time on offense. He was billed as a JKidd clone with his QB skills but any possession where he has the ball more than 3 seconds is a nightmare.

The heart is great but he's also a wrecking ball.

Suggs does lot of stuff and plays hard. But also needs to control his energy .
He is reason why we got that dead ball, as he jumped on AD and Prince, than in very next possession he goes 1 on 5 at rim where 2 seven footers ( one of them is freaking AD) were waiting for him.

We didn't lost game because of Suggs tho, he played well.
Harris going 6-6 was nice as well.
Cole jumping at rim and falling gives me heart attacks.

We mainly lost because Banchero doesn't really play well since preseason started and because we couldn't defend D'angelo Russell. Guy shot 7/8 on 2FGA. And when he is ingaged, AD is such a force on both ends

Lakers are bad, but we just pleased them as we usually do. **** Russel with a big game, made Wood look like a defender

If people can’t see the value of Fultz after tonight then I don’t know what to say. He fed the hot hands on the perimeter, got into the paint at will to generate good looks for him or others, played strong defense. Without him on the court the offense becomes idle iso play.

Shout out to Kerr for confusing Paolo. Guy doesn’t know what he is anymore

This a carbon copy lose from last year. Just to manybmissed opportunities to pull away. You let them hang around and they steal the game in the last couple of minutes. We can't start doing this again this season. This team has to take the next step and win these type of games.

With how tough our schedule is going forward and I can't confidently say when our next win will be... maybe Utah?? But I'm still not sure of that.

14 points, 8 assists, and decent defense but wasn't good. Meanwhile we had Franz, Paolo, and WCJ, our big three, crapping the bed like Amber Heard.

Fultz and Suggs kept the magic in there but everyone has to shoot better especially your two best players.
