Mosley. Added new actions, worked well, never went back to them. Even Jeff Turner called this out during the game
Bane. Not doing anything we brought him in for. I blame Mosley.
WCJ. He's just an emo loser. I can't blame that on Mosley.

I don't know. Well, no, I do.

1. Wendell. Just consistently the worst player on the floor. No need to point out individual things. Just the worst player on the court.

2. Bane. Horrible game. Totally rattled and pressing hard, driving into nowhere and getting blocked into oblivion. Still not making shots, or even able to get himself a good look. Bad fouls, including a really bad frustration foul in the penalty while the game was still close. His competitiveness seems to channel itself in destructive ways, not productive ways.

3. Anthony Black. Terrible. Some downright inexplicable plays. Can't make a shot. Can't avoid turnovers. Couldn't provide any kind of boost defensively on Cade.


Mose was bad, but I want to give these dubious awards to players. He's extremely lucky nothing bad happened the final 8 minutes while he left the starters in for no reason. Was it supposed to be one of those punishment things? Making them finish the game and not get an early night? I don't know, but it was dumb.

Our telecast was awful. I know Kendra is just doing her job, but her forced bubbly positivity is fingers on chalkboard when things are as bad as they are right now. Dante can't keep his numbers straight on anything, Jeff Turner doesn't know how to work without David Steele. It's terrible.

This was on the coaching staff. Do the staff like each other?

[Blue_and_Whte]

Mosley. Why aren’t we running action for Bane like Detroit did for Duncan? Run some Nick Nurse 24 or something. Everything devolves into iso action. Just bad coaching man.

This team may have outgrown Jamal.

Trade Paolo or Franz for Devin Booker

I’d trade Paolo for Booker, but fire Mose first just to check if they really isnt a good fit together.

Looked at net points and holy hell did Bane tank this game

[Idiosyncratic]

I should have had Wendell on my list, to my defense I forgot he played.

[Tarheel]

I voted Mosley. Load of lazy plays out there tonight and poor body language when the pressure turned up. That's on the coach.

[Magic_Johnny12]

Mosley has always been the weakest link even before the season started.

He is a great rebuilding players coach, Orlando is no longer in that phase of development.

This was inevitable imo

[BlueBalls]

I’m not sure how we can vote for just one.

I want to vote Bane, our little human t-rex with no fangs, because I see 4 unprotected firsts and the immediate future of this team in the toilet with each turnover and blocked shot. But WCJ was the worst player on the floor. Like always.

Wendell can't tank the points if he makes sure he isn't on the floor.

I really want to give Mose a negative vote but i'm not gonna this game.

Bane not only isn't as advertised. Minus g1 I think we are all nervously serious that we traded away our teams future for this performance from him.

The package for Bane was always an overpay, especially giving up control of that PHX pick but Bane has been consistent throughout his career and performed well under two different systems (Taylor’s and Iisalo‘s). I’m putting a lot of what’s going on with him on Mosley. Whether fair or not due to the evidence we have on hand.

It's way too early in my humble opinion for an "I told you so" moment if you get me. I am just hinting at the board in general smelling the fumes and seeing the sparks off in the distance.
