OKC has 15 steals this game. That's crazy.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

you're not. that's what the nba wants. Paolo started to learn how to push off as well early this season. That's how you become a star in the NBA...

Moe Wagner can play like a real POS some times. No effort on defense but he has the audacity to shout at others. He looks off open options and forces dumb shots. I appreciate his aggression but I’d love to see someone call him out when he does that bs.

Paolo or Franz... a 6'11 dude shooting over any defender with other bigs... they cant handle it.

OKC was just too much without The Big 2 and the 3rd for half the game.

Yeah, last few mins didn't look good at all. Turnover, couldn't secure that rebound, and his defense is just bad.

Let's not forget Chet may have been DPOY before he got hurt.

I wouldn't proclaim that once they get Chet back. I'm very interested to see how the Hartenstein/Chet pairing works.

how he's used is a joke as well....he can't demand the ball with a short leash so he has to be set up.....but none of that is happening, just be a decoy or a scarecrow....not going to help development or a showcase
