relying on AD and hoping that he'll shoot about 85% of FT's in the last 5 mins of every game esp after playing hard for 36 mins is a very scary proposition indeed.
What I was disappointed about is believing that JJ and Nate McMillan would come up with 2 other defensive schemes on how to stop Wagner esp knowing the only chance for Orlando to win is for that player to score a bunch of points.
1. How about a Box and 1 zone?
2. Maybe asking Max and Cam to pick him up from 90 feet?
3. Trapping him? :roll:

Did you fell asleep right away knowing they were leading by 4pts with just 27 seconds to go?
:nonono: I didn't


Lol no I left start of 4th quarter, when I get there only hosts were there just getting ready, they didn't need help so watched boxed scores on phone lol, until everyone arrived. Then when I posted this, was 1am ish for me, now 6amish edit I'm a tad hung over :banghead:

Jokic has been out, missing games due to family reasons.
I don't know if you guys remember last season when MPJ missed 6 of 7 games, came back to warm up vs Portland, then boom, dropped 27 pts, 8 rebs vs the Lakers the next game. :banghead:
What are the chances Jokic all of a sudden plays vs the Lakers. :roll:
