Beal has been hacking Evan all game and the refs have been letting it go for some reason.

It clearly has to be the coaches game plan because a normal basketball player would know to contest shots right in front of them. These layup drills and blow bys are making me sick. There’s no ball movement on offense and no heart from anyone on the floor tonight.

Haha and it’s so sad because he’s sooooo athletic.

I sure do in his Atlanta days. That was one of the teams that would always beat us no matter who played for them.

Aaron Gordon is extremely predictable with his drives to the basket. He always tries to euro step to his left but the defender always guesses correctly and gets the charge every time. This is low b ball IQ by Aaron he should have adjusted this along time ago yet he continues doing the same move every time.

Yes I do but he also carried the team several times when Lillard was out and he has proven he can score on the big stage unlike Fournier. I’m not saying we should go get him but to say CJ isn’t better than Fournier is crazy talk.

Because he actually got out of the first round of the playoffs and has hit big shots time and time again where as Fournier routinely disappears and can’t handle the pressure of playoff basketball. I’ll take CJ all day over Fournier.

We picked him over Oladipo essentially which was short sided and moronic. I understand this new regime didn’t make that decision but they have stated the draft flattened out 2 years ago when we had a bunch of picks and plenty of talent to draft and now they resigned Vuc to another massive contract after watching him get completely shut down and outplayed by an aging Marc Gasol.

Vuc and Fournier for a bag of chips. No seriously though we need to get rid of these two already I still can’t fathom why we resigned either of them when we saw how terrible players they were when the games actually mattered in the playoffs last year. They could hardly dribble the ball much less put it in the basket. I’m tired of watching the same 2 guys slowly destroy any potential we have of being a legit team. Trade Vuc and either send Fournier to the bench to provide scoring to the second unit or ship him out as well. Tired of watching the same thing over and over again with the same results.

Except when you’re the Magic and do everything backwards.

I think you misunderstood what I was tryna say. I’m saying his offense is Durant like and he can continue to develop in that way. His defense is already better I’m just making an offensive comparison between the 2 players. KD’s shot is a lot smoother but I see a lot of similarities in their offensive games.

I think Isaac is still growing into his body which is why he isn’t as smooth like the elite players. It will come with reps because he already breaks defenders down with his crossover so it’s not like his handles aren’t there. I agree it needs to get tighter but he works too hard not to improve in that area. Siakam is a good starting point for offensive purposes but I still see more KD than Siakam in his game if we are being honest. Siakam likes to play in the post at times and JI doesn’t really score from there. Again not saying he ever reaches Durant like numbers on offense but they play the same style and I see a similar career trajectory if everything comes together for him.

Not necessarily. Why can’t Issac be that guy with less offense? It isn’t that crazy to think we found a gem and he will live up to be just that. Not calling Durant a slouch on D by any means but Issac is better now at it and he still has plenty of time to improve his craft. The offense will come maybe not as killer as KD’s but his D will more than make up for the lack of offensive prowess KD possesses.

I compared him to Durant a few months ago on this board and was bashed hard. I’m gonna keep calling it, he’s going to be a better defensive Durant once his offense all comes together. I was at the game tonight up close and personal and got to see him beast on Memphis.

Nah the moment you decided to give your 2 cents on someone that wasn’t even in the game is when we were done. No need to talk basketball with someone who doesn’t even watch what’s going on but feels the need to comment anyways.
