Idk why I didn’t notice that fact, essentially Franz Paolo JI MoSwag?


yea then we brought in Wendel for Mo, so same size




But Anthony Black was on the floor too at some time and stuffed Beal so it wasn’t the entire lineup for the big run

They might have looked to rest him regardless unfortunately.

Does anyone know why PHO is such a low volume 3pt team? Makes no sense when they have 4 starters that can shoot lights out from deep? Hell, Grayson is the best shooter in the league. KD shoots 45% from deep. Booker is at 39% and Beat at 38%.

We know Vogel is overrated but but he can't be this dense, right?

Fultz starting to get comfortable but let's not let that stop us from pursuing a true lead guard.

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.

Only 4 pts off, but absolutely carried on offense. 26/4/7

I didn't mean the entire quarter. We went to it at the 7 min mark, and they scored 2 points and eventually waved the flag.
The score was 92-94 at that point, and we shut them out.

Durant, Beal and Booker have never been high volume 3PT shooters despite all being fantastic shooters, so I don't think it's a Vogel problem necessarily.

I know I violated board policy by saying something good about Fultz but he still scored more then other guards. You're right though, nothing good can ever be said about Fultz.

That’s not surprising at all coming from Vogel…


Not to take anything away from our team, that was suffocating defense they played.
