I'm pretty done with both PG's, I don't often say this but put JJ in and let Hedo bring it up.

This game doesn't have to be over, but they have to start rebounding the damn ball.
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.

Defense.

Cavs were humiliated last night.

This is not unexpected

Enough said.

Wow, they finally call one. Even after the technical they still refuse to give Hedo free throws. He's been getting hit all night on drives to the hole.

Evans needs to make these. 6 is workable. It's more than workable. But they have to start rebounding and stop falling asleep on pick and rolls.

We need Dooling back, and we desperately need another big man. Foyle is awful.

Still not an excuse. The Magic are at home. Cle playing 4th game in 5 nights. Magic not playing defense or rebounding. No excuses.

Foyle made us lose this game. Absolutely horrible, we're going nowhere with him as a backup big.. as a 3rd big, sure, hes good.. but thats it.

The ASB cannot come quick enough for Dwight. Simple put, he's been awful lately. No rebounding, no shot blocking... all's he's doing is scoring and he hasn't even gotten a FG in the second half against a mediocre Cleveland post defense. His lack of production is killing us.

Ilgauskas with 5 fouls, and Jones with 4 fouls.

I wonder if we will start forcing it down low to Dwight.

Yeah, but the Magic are resting on their laurels, while the Cavs were pulling their pants up.

That's the makeup of this team until they mature and get help.
