It's all jumpshots with this team. I would start forcing them into the point

Not sure I like Simmons not letting Elf run the offense when they play together.

Yeah, that shouldn't happen. Just like how Oladipo used to do a lot.

Gotta stagger those two as much as possible.

Neither one of them is very effective off the ball.

This team drives me nuts. Our defense is brutal. Reminds me of junior high players. Whenever an opponent passes the ball, we all run to the player with the ball. ALWAYS leaving someone wide open

Defense has been atrocious in this quarter. I'll never stop saying Napier is garbage, but that doesn't mean he should always be open for 3. Now we add a free dunk by Nurkic and another wide open jumper. Meanwhile we're just shooting iso jumpers.
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.

&& the starters let them back in the game because they decide to come in and not move the ball around.

Better ball movement the last two possessions even though they didn't convert.

It's a make or miss league. They're making and the Magic aren't.

Maybe we could run a play for Gordon just once per quarter?

No way would I let these guys start the second half. This is embarrassing

Our starters are out of sync because they sat on the bench for so long. We're the only team in the league that staggers our bench to the opponents' starters.
