    I think Fultz is starting to assert himself more. I am curious to see if he can take over a game when we really need it.

    I am not a Vooch defender, but he doesn’t handicap the team anymore than some other guys. IMO: Ross- good from 3 point when he’s on. Not really good on defense or as a playmaker for others. Ball hog. AG- better than average defender (2nd best behind JI), and cutter on offense. ISO situations, and shooting in general seriously lacking most of the time DJ- decent lately with his shooting. Defensive liability. We are better with Fultz running show when both are on floor. JI- inconsistent shooting on offense. Starts cold. Great defense! Fournier- having a decent run. Disappears too much on offense. Savvy. Defense just average. —————————————————- On the good side... Fultz- nada. Guy is getting better game to game. Crazy good passer and finisher at the rim. Some on our team may not be best fit for him because they can’t finish when he sets them up.

    I don’t know the answer, but Vooch and Fournier are pretty good when they’re on. I am as big on JI as any, but IMO he isn’t as consistent as they are on offense. That said, we can see Vooch has limitations against the bigger centers in the league. That might be why Clifford has moved him out behind the arc. It might be a transition year where we are giving Vooch time to master the 3, or we might be biding our time until we can move him. I want to see us turn the corner; however, I am not sure though what we can realistically do that will be an improvement.

    The problem I have is who do we have in the wings? We have Iwundu, Jefferson, Frazier, and Johnson. Which guy is developing and taking advantage of their opportunities? We gave away Tucker to the Lakers in the draft. For what? So we can keep these guys? Sheesh.

    I have to skim through the game because I don't have much time to watch it in the morning before work. It looked to me that Vooch and Fournier missed shots that they would normally make. I can't say how much I really like Fultz, especially his passing. He fed those guys perfectly and they were throwing up bricks.

    The question I have is who do we trade? They have to want what we are offering.

    That's why I asked. I wasn't sure if it made sense. I still haven't given up on AG and hope the light comes on. I haven't looked at the stats, but it seems to me when AG is on and has a good night offensively, we usually win. The problem is those nights are few and far between. The dude has everything he needs physically. He just needs to stay calm between the ears and not try and do too much when he has the ball in his hands. If he can develop some offensive consistency, I think we all would be very happy with the results in the win/loss column. My fear is that we trade the guy and then it all comes together for him and the new team he is on.

    Thinking outside the box a little bit here, so please nobody kill me over it, but what if we kept Fournier and traded AG? Maybe what we get for AG could help us turn the corner.

    That was a thing of beauty! What I love the most about Fultz is he doesn’t back down on offense or defense! He’s still developing. I can’t wait to see next year after he has had a full summer to perfect his craft.

    Thanks. I had a hard time remembering what happened. Heck, I am at the point in my life where I have a hard time remembering what I did yesterday. lol

    Thanks! I guess we were trying to unload some guys to free up cap space.

    I was looking at when Harden was drafted and that class was loaded for bear! I know it's off-topic a tad, but does anyone remember why we didn't have a 2009 draft pick?

    Since the trade deadline is just around the corner, has our play recently changed your mind about what you hope we do? Does anyone still want to trade Vooch? What about Fournier, or Bamba? Their name has come up a few times. Should we even make a trade, or should we let our season ride like it has been going and try and do something next year? Is there someone else you would consider like AG who, to me, is someone untouchable in a trade?

    We were scrappy and fought hard. We had some good looks; we need to finish our shots and not rely on the ref's whistle to bail us out.

    What pick would we give them, our 2nd?

    Thanks for bringing that up. I thought I was the only one who wonders why they don't call that. The refs should also call those pushes in the back too.

    It’s not like our guys aren’t laying it on the line every play as it is. I am no statistician, but I think there is a point of diminished returns in play here. Others are going to have to step up.

    Considering Fultz hasn't played a lot since he came into the league AND with us bringing him along slowly this off-season, is it possible that he is still not in NBA basketball shape? Not that it matters. I see him huffing and puffing out there and am hopeful that it the case. I love his game and can't wait until he really shows what he's got.

    Here's hoping AG is still feeling it. I know teams play better at home, but with the Cavs at 5-15 we should be able to take this one, right?

    Magic Vs. Suns - Wednesday, Dec. 4th at 7:00 P.M.

    Agree. I am really pulling for him. It was nice to see him have an impact, so that he continues to gain confidence. Not trying to nitpick, but this is the type of game he should have considering the competition and his size. As with Vooch, he struggles against the bigger, stronger guys so when he has those matchups he may struggle until his lower body gets stronger. However, the lesson to be learned here -and one that Fultz4thewin keeps telling me (us) - is to be patient. The NBA is a big boy league, and for centers, it takes a while longer for them to develop and come around. He is working hard, and I am glad that we are starting to see some improvement. It gives me some hope that we will be able to keep him and not be forced to shuffle the roster so-to-speak.

    Glad it's not broken. He may not provide much offense, but I sure like his tenacity. Looking forward to his return.

    Not sure what the future holds, but that Fultz screen and roll ( or whatever they call it) for an easy Fournier layup was a thing of beauty! It looks like the team is starting to get used to Fultz and his excellent awareness and court vision.

    Thanks! Good stuff here. I think I can now recognize Horns. The others, I am going to have to refer back to the video and see if I can make the connection because there is a lot there. The other day, I was complaining about DJ pinning himself along the sideline. Was he trying to run Angle Short? If so, he wasn't very successful because when they double him he has a hard time making the pass.

    I am a little confused. I see Coach Cliff standing on the sideline looking bewildered after poor offensive possession after another where guys aren’t moving, etc..Do our coaches actually coach or are the players just tuning them out and freelancing too much?

    I am excited to see Fultz assert himself more. We need him to take control and give our team the identity it's lacking.
