2023-2024 Regular Season Game 34: Orlando Magic (19-14) at Sacramento Kings (19-13) - 10pm

[KillMonger]

Painfully clear that no franchero ball we got NOTHING!!!! offensively, that's a fallacy of coaching.... At the very least you have to be able to run basic sets of offense.... It looks like we have no idea what we're doing out there

Still no update on Franz

[thelead]

He’s been running him alongside 2-3 other guys who take priority in play initiation.

If he played off the bench I’m sure we’d see him on ball more.

I think there's a fallacy in that player plays good = held back, playing bad = not his fault lol .. there are games where he just looks passive and has bad turnovers and can't be trusted as much.

AB is certainly not going to get the amount of usage he gets starting than he would off the bench. AND without Franz in the lineup.. that's fine.. slowly increase his usage over the course of the season and see what happens. I think he can run an offense better than Cole/Suggs etc by next season. Most rookies gotta earn the trust and he's been doing it slowly but surely.

Yeah, I actually think the way he's being coached has set him up for success. He looked scared in the preseason.

I don't mind bringing him along slowly. In fact, I think it has been handled fairly well... but he gets like zero PG reps normally. You can't tell me that the PG is just being shy and is choosing to not run some sets... the sets are: give the ball to Paolo or Franz and get out of the way.

Why is Suggs initiating the offense. Black cmon bro?

[Last Guardian]

I find it amazing how many people complain that the best players on the team get the ball the most. Welcome to the NBA? Paolo and Franz aren't as good as most teams best players but they are barely drinking age so lets relax a little.

Lol, yeah nah I’m not saying AB has been held back, just saying I understand why he’s such an afterthought on offense. And I was about to add a disclaimer to my post to say even off the bench he’d have his bad nights. He’s really only started to look comfortable on the ball very recently.

Suggs giving us nothing

[GameOver25]

We're falling apart.

Paolo and Franz should not need to burn energy bringing up the ball against pressure night in and night out

[ChosenSavior]

This game is gonna get away from us if we're not careful

[SOUL]

Turnover, foul, missed layup, allow a three story of our season

[thelead]

Do ya'll see Sabonis bringing the ball up the court every play? No. Because it would be dumb.

[ChosenSavior]

Suggs isn't making the defensive splash plays lately

[eyriq]

Nice Paolo three but we can't let Monk get off

[Last Guardian]

This team size and defense is overrated.

[thelead]

this offense is trash. Everyone staring at Paolo with very little movement

[eyriq]

Danger zone

[ChosenSavior]

This team size and defense is overrated.

We don't know how to use it at all

[Bensational]

I’m disappointed that Suggs didn’t get on to locking down Monk earlier. 3 plays in a row is crazy.

[ChosenSavior]

Finally an update on Franz. He'll be out a while
