2024-2025 Regular Season Game 46: Portland Trail Blazers (15-28) at Orlando Magic (23-22) - 7pm

I’m tired of Paolo feeling like backing everyone down every possession. Slows everything down to a halt.

It still surprises me that even with Franz on the floor Portland is still triple teaming Paolo.

Paolo playing like **** or not, Portland is loading up on him like he's the 1st option

[KillMonger]

what's up with dell's hands man? always bobbling and dropping passes

[VFX]

Wendell Carter Sucks

[Knightro]

The Magic are just so much worse defensively without Suggs and Goga. Jarringly worse.

[JF5]

Man what is this offense?

[Orlando Dawg]

Tankathon!

[VFX]

Man what is this offense?

Get the ball to Paolo and everyone stand around and watch him not finish anything.

[Fortune Teller]

16.7% from three.

AB runs from the ball and positions himself where it's hard to pass it to him.

I’ve been shouting at the screen for him to move into space. He just sits behind his defender on the weak side. A lot of our guys do that tbh.

Don't know man, keep hearing people want to have "post ups" for Paolo like this is 1990 lol. Don't think most teams even do this because of how defenses are played.

gotta say that POR's defensive pressure is impressive...as many turnovers as we have - it seemed like even more, probably from forced bobbles, etc

I'm still in on Scoot...he's like a coiled spring.

Simons is the most effortless 3pt shooter I've ever seen. He seems taller than his stated height...he does have extreme wingspan and he really moves effortlessly, like a gazelle, reminds me of Terrence Ross that way.

I'd sure love to grab Robert Williams along with Simons if POR's garage sale is ongoing...2 weeks until trade deadline. On an opposing note, that was WCJ who just pulled Time Lord's dunk attempt out of the sky and slammed him to the floor, wasn't it?

Franz & Paolo, both formidable but rusty - turnovers, but Franz, especially, with some polish in the post when they try to switch a guard onto our 6'10 PG.

Paolo cooked in his first game back. Fresh legs?

[KillMonger]

Paolo's legs just not there yet.....clear as day, no lift

[Audi]

Paolo’s fine he just always struggles with his handles when he’s pressed (especially on doubles) and is easily frustrated when he doesn’t get the earned whistle.
*edit* Paolo’s conditioning is about where I’d expect it to be after missing how much he’s missed.

Yeah that’s crazy. Makes the offense ridiculously predictable. He needs someone to create space for him or to shoot the basketball. Posting it up is why he isn’t doing anything.

[GameOver25]

I just think Paolo isn't in basketball shape yet. It sucks, but I guess it's going to take him longer than expected.

It's irritating... you would think they'd run a secondary or third off ball action to get others going. That's not even happening.
