Those are the lineups that save our ass most games lol, although I'd obviously go 9 man in playoffs.

The Magic only give up 9.1 offensive rebounds per game. No. 1 in the NBA.

Portland has 8 in the first half.

Classic sign of a team not locked in.

Agree to a certain extent, but I'm glad he looked for Franz and trusted him.

Kind of wild the Magic can completely and utterly sleepwalk through a half of basketball, showing minimal interest in giving a professional effort, and still come out of it with a 7 point lead.

7 blocks in one half is a lot of blocks.

Those are the lineups that save our ass most games lol, although I'd obviously go 9 man in playoffs.
We need to imo, we can easily stagger paolo and Franz... One of them should be out there because Cole can't be the only offense going forward. To be honest you don't really need to play Fultz or Ingles.....

You don't sleepwalk your way into being perfect against the worst 5-6 teams or whatever.

Teams have bad quarters, halves, etc. You can even theoretically suck for three quarters and blow them out in the 4th.

They just need a bit more focus and crispness. 3rd game in 4 nights is tiring for any team so they just need to power through it.
