Great recovery by the team to identify what was going to win them the game and then execute it.

Franzchise is just pure class. Suggs and JI defensively were menaces. Moritz' touch at the rim is insane. Harris' defence is top notch since he came back. Paolo solid but commanded a lot of defensive attention.

Cole is in the mother of all slumps right now. Nothing is going right for him. He must be trying to not get traded!

Was the injury significant?

Haha exactly, perfect analogy. I hope JI can keep it up because this will become a meme

Upgrade Fultz/Cole (or both) with a real point guard and let’s go.

Do it Weltman. Do it now.

Need upgrades for Fultz (trade), Cole (AB), Gary Harris (Jett) and Ingles (FA) and we'll be ready to challenge. Shouldn't cost a fortune other than Fultz replacement possibly.

Perfect analogy, the ultimate closer!

As a Red Sox fan I hated the guy but he was truly great.

Nah, probably aggravated an existing injury. It looked like a flop to me.

I think it's the same ankle he's had problems with.

I like the vision!

How correlated is the slump to his haircut?

Needs to grow it back out.

The slump started a few games before

Ineffective mostly. Being the class clown and great locker room presence can only take him so far. He hasn't been playing good basketball for almost 2 months now.

Feels like that ship has sailed.

Got to figure out the guard rotation, against better teams you can't go almost 3 quarters getting nothing from Gary Harris.... Already getting nothing from Cole Anthony, too much nothing... Then you have joe Ingles playing like he's cooked especially defensively.... I'm expecting some changes if this team is serious about winning

Time for a shakeup at the trade deadline!

AB not ready yet. Jett can't play defense, and isn't some force in Osceola either

Franz's 38 points is the 2nd most points scored in a game by anyone in the NBA this season with 0 free throw attempts.

Only Kevin Durant (40 PTS on 1/21) had more.
