he was okay.....it's the Dell minutes we have to worry about....22 minutes 6 points 5 rebounds.....if paolo's eyes wasn't red you wouldn't think he's the one that was sick you'd think it was Dell.....just playing like he was drained or something....low energy....didn't want to rebound even against a 6'8 john collins....this version of dell can get the hell off my team


Oh, completely agree. Didn’t mean to say Fultz didn’t play well. I was just saying that the Magic have realized they need shooting in the starting lineup with his benching.

yeah in most situations with fultz as he is now i don't think you could ever close with him in the lineup unless the game is well in hand

Not going to lie didn’t think his shot was going to improve this much.


But the form was great even when he couldn't make anything.

Dude, he's been out much of the season.
He's also having to learn a new role on the team.

WCJ is fine, just a bad game, he still sets good scrins, shoots 3s well...at his salary he is an OK player

Officially 9-3 in February.

We knew the schedule was gonna be softer after a rough December and January.

Yeah but that was the problem for me, he wasn’t making them even though it looked good but I am happy he is making them now.

If anyone is just checking in, don't read back through this thread. It is dire.
That said, good to grind out the win. There is something (and I think this applies to most sport) in winning ugly, grinding it out when the performance isn't clicking. We are certainly going through one of those spells, and you just hope it comes together.
Suggs is a baller, great story arc this season.

This Spanish guitar music on the aftergame NBA League Pass channel is going nicely with my light alcohol buzz.
Been awhile though. Still waiting for the first post-game interview.

It means percentage-wise it's close.

We must focus on next 3 games, the key to skip the play in is in there

What new role?
He's 6'10 270, decently skilled, average athleticism and you'd never know. He should be out there punishing guys. Overall he's a disappointing player.
