It's not perfect and we have many more questions than answers right now, but it bodes well. Much better than our last rebuild where we were still trying to find even a legit #2 on a contender.

Coach is learning and it's fair to call out his mistakes. He even corrected most of them the second half. Good on Mose.

Paolo is showing a completely different gear to his game. He needs more usage and desperately better shooting personnel once everyone is healthy

I feel like the most "ideal" lineup right now when everyone is healthy is:

Suggs
Houstan
Franz
Paolo
Goga

Cole (or AB when Cole is Bad Cole)
Ingles
Isaac
WCJ
Moe

Obviously can't play Isaac/WCJ/Moe together, so maybe we need to move someone lol.

This team has “Cinderella story” energy. They already feel like they’re punching above their division, and now it feels like they can punch higher.

its over guys. really sad, i hoped he would be our guard of the future.


Safe repeatable form (push shot) last season that stopped him being shooter, but made him serviceable. Revamped in the offseason to try to return to Washington Fultz, shoulder issues return, now it's a mess.

What's dawned on me over the last 3 games with how Paolo is playing is that he is a Legit top 15-20 player in this league. Meaning you can put crap rotation around him and this team can defeat any team in the league.

We haven't had that type of offensive player since T-Mac who ironically was there tonight.

Did our little boy become a man today? Proud of Paolo.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

Why is Markelle straightening his back so tight so many times during this interview?

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.
