True or false

This team as is without Suggs and Moritz?

Yeah.

CoJo/KCP/Franz/Paolo/WCJ
AB/Cole/Houstan/JI/Goga

Vs
Suggs/Harris/Franz/Paolo/WCJ
Fultz/Cole/Ingles/JI/Moe

Second team rather comfortably. Suggs was a menace defensively last season & Mo’s impact off the bench has been felt this year with him being out. JI was also fools gold last season and is now back to his usual nonexistent self.

Paolo's effort defensively is just so bad when he's not scoring.

It's bad regardless, but he somehow tries even less when the shots are not going in.

Spurs starting the 3rd with a 7-0 run is unfortunate. Good timeout.

Biyombo obliterating Banchero's shots out there. Surreal lol. Full circle Magic experience.

Beyond awful... back to inefficient ball... this will be the third inefficient game in a row.

Stop bitching about calls and get back on defense, man.

Paolo forcing it too much

I don’t understand if Paolo don’t have it going but Franz do, why not just become a passer and pass it to Franz and the others who are hitting their shots? I never understand why scorers just continue shooting when it is clearly not working.

Franz has made some wild shots this game.

I don’t think Goga and Paolo like each other

The coach let's them do whatever they want to do.

Franz is pretty good against poor defenses.

Always an excuse.

I bet he has them on notecards before each game starts. :lol:

Mosley rarely gets the team to feed the hot hand. Never has in all his years here. Just dense.

This offense is genuinely never be good playing like this.
