2023-2024 Regular Season Game 27: Orlando Magic (16-10) at Milwaukee Bucks (20-7) - 8pm

I don't think he's allowed to do much.

Lol. Mose is not a dictator or something. He lets players do whatever they want for better or worse.

So you think the lotto-talent PG (that isn’t a great shooter) is choosing to ALWAYS sit in a corner and not run any plays?

Caleb allowed to take as many 3’s as he wants. Paolo allowed to turn it over 10 times. Franz allowed to take as many shots as he wants. JI, not a good shooter, allowed to take 3’s. WCJ, 280lbs C, allowed to take 3’s. But he tells AB he’s not allowed to dribble or take shots

People take coaches for dummies. If there were easy offensive fixes for this specific team, teams would employ those offenses. The minutiae can always be improved upon (i.e lineups, rotations) - but the overall issue is the lack of offensive firepower on this team.

You can think that if you want but it isn't true. The players run to specific spots on the floor and aren't allowed to move from those spots unless certain actions take place. Different players run to different spots. Suggs and Black are instructed to by the coach to run to the corners. All you have to do is watch the game.. I shouldn't have to explain this.

This is an extremely common NBA offensive play.. you know that, right?

But Cole doesn’t do it…

Don't waste your time he thinks he knows more than everyone else.

[Skybox]

I don’t get Goga’s disappearance…Giannis just goes to the hoop time after time. WCJ is just invisible out there…I get that he’s rusty but ORL is now relevant. Games matter.

I like Black’s effort & demeanor, but he really doesn’t contribute offensively at all. He dribbles a couple times and looks to get rid of it. I think he’ll be good someday but it’s like he’s not thinking about scoring or even direct assists. I appreciate that he’s not pounding the ball and demanding screens, etc but I just don’t see him developing plays for himself or others.

We can’t expect Franz to Eurostep 20x a night and Paolo drive and chuck it up. Paolo’s an incredibly strong finisher but his moves in a packed painted area are looking a little too much like prime Bol Bol stumbling towards the rim, bouncing off defenders, throwing it up there and screaming “and-1”. It can be very effective (see: Giannis) if you’ve got the body control and ferocity, but it just looks like an unnecessarily tough way to do it night after night.

Cole looks better and better in his role.

Lopez is faster than Paolo

[ChosenSavior]

There is no way Brook should be beating you on a straight line drive

All I want for Christmas is a PG.

He can move Black from the #5 position and put him at the #1 position on offense.

Don't bite the hand that has been saving your ass on reports for the last month btw lol

I've been watching this team for 20 years now.. never missed a game, I think I know a thing or two when it comes to "but muh favorite player isn't scoring 20 points a game, must be the coach!" complaints.. because we've fired 8 coaches in the last same time period with fans complaining about the same exact ****.

[RichCollab]

Can we sub in some goons? Need some hard fouls!

[eyriq]

Paolo is a low energy player

[KillMonger]

someone here said it best....paolo needs to start going through people, not around them....he doesn't seem to have that kind of touch around the rim.....consistently smoking contested layups

[SOUL]

Coach is telling Paolo to play like a pussy

[JF5]

Offense is horrible...

[basketballRob]

It's obvious that the NBA cradles Giannis

Lol. Of course there is some structure. It’s an NBA team lol. But the idea that Mosely is telling a guy not to do anything productive is hilarious. Can’t possibly be the player is just bad (at the moment).

[penny_nz]

Hahahaha, "we've got time for a quick word from our sponsor, doesn't even have to be quick"

"We have time for one more"

Get him David!

[thelead]

Mose is a good coach but to think he’s perfect and that no criticism is valid is laughable.

[JF5]

Carter needs to actually shoot the ball...

[Rainwater]

Big shot by Paolo
