You mean the guy who can’t shoot?

We have enough of those.

You do realize Cole is shooting 33% from deep this year, right? And he can't run an offense. And he can't play defense.
I think it's time to rethink Cole. He's not scoring, playmaking, or defending. Hot garbage. The extension is looking like a terrible decision.

When the opponent's 3pt% is matching your FT% on higher volume, you're probably in trouble.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

This is just the game we needed for a good ‘ol, full fledged, mid-season, board-wide meltdown.

Hooray.

Did I say I was a fan of Coles? Sad shooting 33 percent in this team is a good thing.

Agree. Hope we’re not stuck with that contract now

Losing always bothers me but what I can't stand more is when a team give no efforts to a crowd that spent their hard earned money to watch this. That's never fair to them.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.-John 3:16

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

Lol sure Mosely game plan is the problem. His clipboard must read: let cleveland dunk and shoot wide open 3's. We will win if we do these things.

You know what's crazy? Cavs and Magic were 8th and 9th in terms of three pointers given up in a game.

Have you ever seen a player roll their eyes more than him? :lol:


I’m over Wendell. He’s a bench big masquerading as a starter. Seems to think he’s worthy of a larger role than he is. Doesn’t do the simple things we need like rebound and block shots. Routinely clogs the paint with his movement.
