Yep plus Suggs got hurt in the 1st quarter.

Severity TBD

But man is it hard to watch.

How long term are we talking lmaooooo

We haven’t been relevant since 2009/10

not one single person has said bench Isaac

I've literally seen it 10+ times on here and reddit. Especially after the miscues with Mobley/Allen with him and Paolo and the bench defense being worse without him.

You play Issac against a single big post player or you let him guard a wing so he can wander a bit… Another failure by Mosley… He should come out in the second half, start Goga Isaac, Banchero, Wagner, Harris… Bring Black, Ingles, WCJ, Wagner off bench…

Lol the good old Gary Harris at PG strat with Paolo and Franz having to chase around Mitchell and Strus

These are the people calling for Mose to be fired

This fanbase deserves RealGM coaches for 100 years if we think Mose is bad

Imagining getting a top 50 player for JI? After all the injuries, all the missed games, that would likely be an all time sell high move.

(Jaquez is starting for the Heat in the playoffs).

Jaquez is older than Suggs, Franz and Paolo.

By how much though? 2, max 3 years? Who cares, young is young. Why are we soo obsessed with age on this forum?

If Black isn't good enough to get burn when his primary competition is Fultz and Cleveland's guards are wiping the floor with us, then I don't know who it reflects worse on -- Black for being that bad, Coach Mos for not developing him, or Welt for using the #6 pick on him.

Without a doubt. Still sucks but this series is really about getting experience as they keep adding to the team. Free agency will be huge this summer. Major shooting and guard scoring upgrade is necessary.

I wouldn’t give it a second thought

Ah yes, let's start playing the G-leaguer who basically hasn't played for us all year.

Giving AB Fultz' minutes I agree with, but some of the panic takes on here have been laughable.

Wish him the best….

But was also not a factor early on.

not a single person in the world besides 2-3 people on this forum and Mosley , think Fultz should be playing, over ANYONE

yet his die hards (Mosley's) will continue to support him, and belittle the people who would rather see a guy who actually plays defense atleast, take on the task.

Optimus_Steel · Post #516 » by **Optimus_Steel** » Tue Apr 23, 2024 12:24 am

Wow Suggs warming up

There is a huge difference in playing a senior big minutes right out of college and freshmen who need time to ramp up because of lack of experience.

Why would anybody do that?

He has proved nothing

Seeing Franz hunt that 2nd 3 so quickly after his first was a really encouraging sign. Good to see him getting confidence back there.
