But people have called out Fournier for years. Him and Vuc are probably the most picked on players relative to their production on the team. Fairly and Unfairly.

You could just as easily say Elfrid and AG are the most picked on players. Different perspectives. It's all relevant. There are factions that defend and criticise certain players on both sides.

Box Score watchers are the worst. He's made a big impact for this team. Played outstanding defensively. We need guys like this that are just looking to bring winning play to the team. Great clapback by him

The "Vuc is a bad defender" comments even after he held the NBA player of the week and a guy that had been on a complete tear scoreless when guarding him and has proven since last year that he is one of our better defenders are just comical at this point. Just stop hating. He's been our best defender along with Isaac this year.




I’ll just quote this post to address all of you. Vucevic was not a good defender last year. His job is to rim protect, he doesn’t do it.

His defense this year: it’s 7 games. SEVEN. Guys are missing shots against him in a small sample size. He’s not doing anything special or different than in any other year at the defensive end. And his defensive numbers will normalize to the same dog crap they are every season.

Alot have been down on him but he's been good defensively. People were bitching about him the other day at half time when he had points too

I will admit that I've been riding T. Ross pretty hard this season mainly for some of his shot selection, decision making and inability to hit shots right now but I will 100% agree that his defense has been very solid. I like that he is not letting his offensive struggles affect his defense. Just want to see his shot falling as that will make the offense even more lethal than it is right now.

He's never been a volume scorer he only averages just under 10 points per game (9.6) for his career so I don't get why people think he should be scoring a ton. His shot will start falling, he's been making more the past few games and if he's out there playing defense and getting steals and making good passes then that's good enough. Also there's a reason why his nickname is Coin Toss Ross :)

His defense has been really good and should be recognized, but to be fair he is a 3 and D player. Don't think it's too much to ask to see him do both... not every night, but most nights. Luckily we did not need his scoring while he was on his crazy 2/22 fg slump. That fan going in on him on the magic's social media and doubling down when Ross responds is an idiot though. He even told Ross how much better "d-league player" simmons has been offensively. Hopefully Ross has already forgot about it.

:lol: Just stop posting. You're done.

Like I said board. There are people in here who want Vuc and Fournier to fail so their success makes them mad. Example number one, Dogging Vuc's defense when hes been our best post defender and not a peep about Bismack sorry ass. Dont waste your time.

I've been pretty tough on him but I have to think that the laws of averages will prevail. That's both good and bad because I think we'll cool off a little but hopefully Ross finds his shot by then.

Cousins had 46 consecutive plays without a score, all whilst being guarded by Vučević. I do not consider that a small sample size.

AG never recieves criticism on here - maybe one or two guys that just like hating on the team in general - but Evan, Vuc, and EP are the 3 most unfairly criticized on this board.

We need a new score keeper. At 6:33 of this highlight Isaac blocks Etwan Moore and doesn't get credit for a block? Can someone tell me why this isn't recorded as a block?

Now that you mention it, I’ve had a few thoughts about doctoring that you could improve on...
