I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

I can't wait until we extend Franz and his 3 point shooting improves.

Nice first Q overall. The Gary Harris/Caleb Houstan backcourt is an extinction level event.

I believe in Franz and think he'll get to where he needs to be from deep but it still sucks that he has regressed HARD on that front

It’s the defense that is bothering me more. Comes way to out out on Mconnell and gets blown by. Then way to aggressive with Siakam. Gotta be smarter

The Pacers starters scored 6 points that quarter. On 2 for 11 shooting.

I have ESPN gamecast on my phone and just read “Moritz Wagner misses a 71-foot three point jumper.”

Shot selection is TERRIBLE

The good news is we held them to a low scoring quarter, the bad news is we're on pace for under 100 against the Pacers defense.

The difference in this game is Orlando's utter dominance in rebounding: and 5 to nill offensive.

T.J. McConnell got his season average in the first quarter, come on.

Not getting a point guard or any scoring at the deadline is already starting to show. We are getting blown out of the water in the first round of the playoffs with this anemic offense. Doubt we even win a game.
