How **** bad is WCJ man , gee whiz. Just play Goga FFS


Hes an absolute joke man. Does not do a single thing well. Bad energy, lazy, poor body language, sulky, cant really shoot now, negative defensively, doesnt box out. Why is he out there?

He comes off and instantly the game looks better. Its partly to do with JI but also a lot the absence of WCJ.

Issac and Fultz should probably finish this game.

The energy goes through the roof when JI subs in for WCJ, and WCJ just Eeyored his way to the bench. Such a loser.

WCJ is a good bench big and many don't want to accept it. He may work in certain matchups as a starter but he just doesn't fit with Paolo and Franz.

They can win this but the offense has to start clicking. Can't got 4-5 straight possessions without a bucket

Yeah... I know the league is calling less fouls but some of these Sabonis screens and undercutting wcj is something else

The biggest thing I want to see is Isaac able to play 25 at the very least next year.

They need to play Isaac the last 5 minutes of the game, too.

That's what is driving me nuts in this game. Why are Kings allowed to get away with that?

Completely agree. We need a rim running defensive big who hustles.

I think I would gladly take someone like hartistein over him. As long as we get better shooting from guard spots.

Seriously if it wasn't for health, I wish he could play from now to the end of the 4th.

But to be fair to Wendell, he’s fighting out there.

I was listening to Zach Lowe's podcast the other day...

When Suggs and Isaac are both on the floor, the Magic have a DRTG of 101, which would be the best in the league by such a wide margin that it's almost comical.

I remember how passive Paolo looked rookie year on the boards, what a difference these days. He went up strong for that board
I still believe in Magic! Welcome to the Franz & Paolo era
