Paolo has been mugged on a few shots and getting zero love from the whistle. I think he needs to start doing some LeBron fly kick drives if that’s the case.

That was a good block by Allen. Like the take by Franz though.

I don’t think it’s because he is weak those were just unfortunate

shoulder dips aren't being called across the league right now. You can't extend your arm too much but you can certainly get away with pushing off. He needs to adjust.

Couldn’t be a worse matchup with Allen and Mobley. This shot counters what we do so hard.
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
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.

Gotta get the contact on a challenge like that. Defense has to get better or this is gonna be a short series.

For his size, Paolo really underwhelms as a dunker. Would love to see him flush a lot of his looks at the rim home instead of failing at using the backboard.

Paolo’s got a long way to go.

Dunk the ball. You are 6’11 260 and directly under the rim
