Good to see Fournier smiling (for seemingly the first time since COVID) after the game while giving daps

Parker and Semi both made some nice plays in garbage time. Clearly both of them know they are fighting for mins and trying to get back into the rotation.

I think that was a travel. Or rather, the only reason it wasn't a travel was the Rule of Cool.

Why can't Ojeleye ever do stuff like that in a real game? That's the highest he's jumped since leaving SMU.

He had a nasty throw down at SMU

All 14 available guys for the Cs scored. Kemba for VC, but it really should be the Magic for being such a sorry ass franchise.

[playa-hater]

Great win by the Cs.


I don't like watching garbage time, so on to Chicago.

then you missed the POTY from Tacko..

haha yup. That play by Tacko for the score was amazing. Say what you want about Tacko, but for a 7'6" guy to put the ball through his legs, make a move like that, do an up and under and score in an NBA game is impressive. Good for him.

I no longer believe Tacko has any future with us, which is so sad.. but with that said I want some team, anyone to sign Tacko and really give him a chance. Today's NBA game is what is stopping Tacko. In the 80s, 90s he probably would have made an Allstar game or 2.

but for the right team, he has a place on an NBA roster

This was what I expected when we drafted him! Saw this video calling him the Terminator and he was flying all over the place!
He's been ground bound since he's joined us though.

really?? In today's game he could have taken another step with no call.

Mo Bamba got taken off the dribble by Tacko Fall but at least he scored 19 in a 30 pt blowout.

You trying to get Couch's alt account logged in here or something?

Oh I thought he was on the Bamba sucks train or maybe I misunderstood his reply to me.

He's just been wearing a weighted vest under his jersey since he got drafted. After Ainge re-ups him on a max contract, he's going to remove it and dunk from the three point line on every possession.

Not at all! He was offended someone thought Rob was better than him.

The rocking back and forth felt like steps to me. Am I that out of touch?

he did lift his pivot foot. just pointing out the NBA's current day policy of the game is more "entertainment" and they will let almost everything slide.

[31to6]

**** us you KNOW we’re going to come out and dog a nice big hole to try and die in in this one.

“Look at how much ORL WANTS it, Mo Wagner is making a NAME FOR HIMSELF tonight!”

Happy to have been 100% wrong tonight.

Wow, we actually just took care of business! What a country.

Definitely. I don't know about all-star level, but if he played prior to 2005 he would have been a good solid NBA center, maybe a starter but definitely a solid backup..

Yup. Looking at the replay, looks like a travel. But in today's NBA they typically let that go. And they definitely let it go in garbage time..

[Bleeding Green]

Unfortunately they don't do the last two minute referee reviews in 36 pt blowouts.

Feeling like steps is not the same as steps. Those are big feet to pick fully up off the ground.
