This starting lineup just isn't it. At least not tonight.

It's not really lethargic, it's can't-shoot-itis.

I think we should trade for Victor and start Isaac at the 4.

Isaac can't play every minute...Idk why we're not at least giving Goga some run. Man, I do like WCJ, but he's just not the right C for this team. Maybe off the bench at 4/5...but, honestly, Isaac is a nearly perfect fit next to Paolo & Franz. He is 100% invested in defense, sets picks, etc. Refreshing...I know it's dangerous to fall back in love with him.

Fultz is not so subtly bad defensively. He's got that Bol Bol thing going where his steals and blocks somewhat overshadow how poor he is at the point of attack.

Paolo has improved as the season has progressed at making the right reads on passes

Franz shot starting to fall more

It's literally just shotmaking. There was no more exertion of energy or not in that 3 minute span.

You're wrong. When things go bad it's always lack energy and crappy coaching.

He has been MUCH more patient this week... and by no surprise, he has been MUCH more efficient this week.

It's funny, reddit was talking about "no offense plan" in the Dallas game when we scored 35-40-42 points in 3 quarters. We literally had one bad shooting quarter which was us missing open shots we were hitting in the other quarters.

Attacking Wemby in that situation is not a high IQ move Fultz
