That could be interesting I just wish Markelle was back but then there would probably be no jet minutes, cause AB would be off the bench I am getting very confused/frustrated

suggs questionable .....

oh man here we go again

Just looked at the injury reports Gary Harris listed Available Demar DeRozen listed out-personal reasons

too many turn overs and too many passes when shots are open.

Harris now listed out again

gary harris is now listed as questionable, rather than out. I kinda am ambivalent about him. If he plays, i hope he doesn't mess up recent groupings

ok i'm done Markelle is out again I just realized that this might read wrong I just meant i am done thinking markelle will ever be the pg that we need. Never done with the magic lol

You are correct, fan sites, even here, can get very negative very quickly. But I feel at least on this site, it comes from years of seeing us take a step forward (like the combo of Franz and Paolo last year ) and then seeing us regress. ( Franz and Paolo slipping back and poor rotation decisions.) I know, for myself, even when criticizing, i try to have a positive slant But the fan base wants to win. We have waited a long time. And it is hard not to let frustration show sometimes.

Yes. he even could play well beside Fultz untill he is given the keys to the car. He has great defensive presence and a good, developing outside shot.

Hi Just want to say, I am a big Fultz fan, but as I said about a week ago, I do think it is time to consider other options. However, Fultz is doing exactly what we expect him to do, though he has not gotten better at the long ball. He had 13 points last night, a few blocks and would have probably had a double double if anyone hit a shot. Anthony and Issac are doing what we expect. Black and Mo and Bitaze are doing more than we expected. As much as I think we need a new point guard to become true contenders, right now Fultz, or anyone else, is not the problem. Paolo and Franz, who are meant to be stars, are not doing what is expected. Yes paolo had 17 pts, but with how many bad decisions and turn overs? And Franz was an incredible -16 for his time. I know it's early for both of them. And yes, they may be tired and/or in their head because of the summer. But replacing Fultz is a long term solution Figuring out how to get Franz and Paolo back on track seems more immediate.

Yea Okeke was a strange substitution, but Franz was struggling a bit so ... why not, lol

yeah very sloppy play

good points about the shooting junkie and i agree that if we dont get Fultz back quickly, we dont make the playoffs. I was looking to next year and beyond. But again good points about shooting

Hi Trey I usually agree with every thing you post and i kind of do on this post. 1 or 2 games does not a starter make. But i am one of those who said AB is our point guard of the future. And i stand by that. He is our PG of the future. The question is , when does that start.? Personally i think if he continues as he is, he begins to be part of the starting line up next year. I love Markelle. But we drafted AB for a reason, and i think he has shown enough to justify that choice.

Fultz i am a big fan and have been fighting hard for him. But I think unless he comes back from injury, AND shows improvement in his shot, yesterday showed us next years point guard.

i missed the pregame is there any word on markelle, or just he is out?

i think the decision on Markelles long term future may be being made tonight AB defense is stellar and he hit a 3 plus get it mo he is a monster tonight

i did before the injuries now not so sure

oh man Fultz listed as questionable for tomorrow. I am a huge Fultz fan, but if he is out for considerable time again, it's time to move on

Clippers are gonna be tough especially on a back to back they are playing really well tonight against the spurs

I wouldn't think so either just confused as to the rotation why leave your floor general out of the game. Argument can be made that mo was on fire, but still seems odd

Yeah Was surprised no one asked about why he kept wendell and Markelle out of the closing minutes. Weird rotation. I dont think anyone was injured, nothing has come out if so. Was it to save for the LA games? Cause Portland went on a run that almost cost us the game.

That was very frustrating starters all had plus plus/minus yet coach kept cole and mo in there to close, who both had minus plus/minus very strange

What is this rotation? Why are the starters not in? If they lose this it's on the coach
