And who's in charge, Moseley or Prunty? Not that Moseley ever got anything out of us on offense, but is he just sitting back and letting Prunty tank everything that made us remotely good? Can he not declare "defense first, offensive experiments later"? Just seems weird to me that suddenly our whole identity is out the window and everyone is mad. Because of Joe Prunty. Question mark? No, I know it's not that black and white, but it's still just weird to me right now. It's like everything has changed, not just in game but in practice. Training camp was all about running and conditioning and all that. Why, because the new assistant coach said so? Just seems like a lot is being done to accommodate philosophies of some guy we brought in off the street.


(If you can't tell, I am firmly grasping at straws)
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Our guys seem to be really lazy on rebounds. If the ball is near a Magic player the rest just ball watch instead of boxing out or looking to get involved.

lol WCJ

not saying Goga is any kind of answer, but Wendel is being bullied on every single play and it's just horrible to see it.

wrecking is an understatement

He's looking like what Goga looked like to start last season

Which reminds me we need to trade Goga & Isaac asap

This is the thing about Carter.

If he plays a physical Center ever he gets absolutely worked. He can’t defend above the rim. Hes useless on that front.

It’s wild to me that Weltman decided to come back with Carter as the starting center again.

The biggest drop-off continues to be when Suggs leaves the floor.

Exactly what I'm trying to understand. Ultimately Mosley is responsible but the overhaul is wild.

$15 million to Jonathan Isaac to not play again. 6th and 11th picks on Black and Howar. You can’t waste roster spots like that. The NBA is too deep with talent.

Offense isn't the problem tonight.

60.0% eFG%
62.8% TS%

They're just getting ripped apart defensively.
