Our best rebounder is Paolo with 6.8 rebounds per game? Good lord.

I didn't watch the game. Was there anyone in the starting lineup handling the ball in the PnR aside from Franz?

Orlando is 21st in rebounds per game. But the team is 2nd in the league in rebounds surrendered per game. This combines to Orlando being the 8th best rebounding differential team getting +2.8 rebounds per game.

I think Cole is leading in blocks after Goga and Isaac. Cole 26 blocks, Wendell with 16. Moeritz with 16.

I want to say some Cole, AB, Ingles...even seemed a bit forced at times, drops into WCJ or Mo - even in a crowd. Just my general impression - to me, it stood out. Maybe a memo went out :lol:

I think he had more of a mental breakdown from fatigue. He needed mental time away. I haven't even seen him on the bench. Watching Mikal Bridges last night, he looks like he needs a couple of weeks.

I remember he needed the LeBron James treatment in his College games. Like the IV fluids and stretching massages, or something like that. It's crazy for a physical profile like Paolo's and LeBron's to do the things they can do on the court.

Mosley did say Isaac's absence was due to the illness and not the knee, so hopefully he'll be back in short order.

It's likely the respiratory virus that is going around. Probably just enough to crush an athlete.

perhaps we should shut down the country and bring back the bubble?

We should really be 5-0 after the Wizards game, but I won't bet on it

English is strange.

Who dribbles AND shoots at the same time?
