This is part of the growth of being top dog though... it's not going to be easy and there has to be growing pains.

Especially against an elite defense like Cleveland in his first postseason knowing how weak our offense is. This is a great learning experience.

You have something in common with the Orlando Magic

To be fair a few of those were bad bounces

Why is everybody so confident that AB is winning us a series as soon as he comes in?

Gary Harris trotting back on the court like he is some defensive stopper and 3 point maker is hilarious.

AB is a better defender and at least has emotion on the court

He just turned 20 two months ago

Hope Paolo plays better in the 2nd half, much better hopefully

I’m just so happy Suggs is okay!

Paolo is just not ready for full time ball handling duties. He just isn't there yet.

He should be settings picks, posting up, instead of just sitting outside the paint trying to "create". Use that big body and create havoc

I love Suggs...but no, I don't agree with this. His leg almost snapped. We aren't winning this game anyway

So 1.5 games into the playoffs and we haven't looked good at all. But let's also remember we have a young team IN THE PLAYOFFS WITH 47 WINS. We made big strides this year, and we aren't winning a championship. Even if we get swept (I don't think we will), we can still feel good about where this team is at. Yes, there are definite holes and I also want to see Fultz's butt on the bench, but this team wasn't winning a championship this year. Let's hope we make this a more competitive series, but even if we don't, we are still on the rise in a big way.
