My fear is our team ending up like NOLA, a young team with alot of potential plagued by injuries instead of the OKC Thunder

We're not in the same league as OKC. They have a legit MVP caliber player RIGHT NOW and a legit DPOY caliber player RIGHT NOW. Not to mention the rest of their squad.

Please quote where I said we were in the same league as OKC..?

Damm this is turning into a disaster of a road trip. Players can stay healthy. Disaster.

Paolo closing the half with Goga, Houstan, Queen and Black on the court. Borderline G league group around him.

Didn't mean it to come off like that.

Only down 12, could've been worse

If it wasnt for Paolo hitting all his jumpers, this game would already be over.

It most likely is still over though

It was a favorite move of the legendary Andrew Declerq

Suggs can't do that little floater like AB. He'll just drive into 3 bigger players and throw the ball towards the rim.

Seriously it's feels like PB is the only real nba player for our whole team right now :noway:

AB we need you to initiate offense. I know you're a rook, but at least try. Like you can't tell me coaches and players don't see this need and he's the most capable at the moment.

Black has shown some on-ball ability this game though.

I wish we could fast forward with Paolo being a little bit older with the ability to take over games.

If people expect the magic to win this game, I will question their sanity, lol. Half the team is injured including the 6th man and second best player. Some of the guys playing I don't think would be in the NBA, lol. For a team that already has issues scoring will definitely have issues in the second half.

Unfortunate this is going to be ugly for a while. Can’t have nice things apparently.

Sadly true. Suggs should be strictly a 3&D player. Not sure what has happened to his defense though.

Am I crazy in thinking his defense hasn't been as effective as it was earlier in the season?

Chuckles…. We’re in danger

He's not super soft like Fultz so he'll be back the next game if he walk.

Season is quickly turning into a tragedy whereas it looked like a Horatio Alger tale in the first 10-15 games.
