    Hopefully they make the post season. Let’s not overdo the ups and downs after each game. Tonight we beat a ten win team but not without some tense moments late in the 4th. Lack of a good all around point guard who can shoot is an obvious shortcoming for this team. We ought to try to improve in that area if we can.

    I noticed the same thing.

    Our defense much better this quarter. Guys seem to have woken up.

    Yep. Because the starters were hard to watch. Having Markelle start instead of Isaac hasn’t done us any favors so far.

    They have 28 points with 2:45 left first quarter. Apparently San Antonio is an offensive juggernaut.

    Carter playing hard, everyone else seems sluggish.

    Isaac not starting tonight with Markelle back in the lineup

    Well put. I guess we’ll put Isaac on Wemby to hopefully slow him down. Looking forward to a good Magic game and not a lot of nailbiting at the end :)

    Only Gary Harris out (Jett and other Harris assigned to G league) per today’s injury report. Magic favored by 4.5 currently.

    I was going to post this but you beat me to it. Not counting the final free throw which Paulo did a good job of intentionally missing, he was 6/10 for the night on free throws. That’s a problem, given how many free throws he takes, as CT pointed out above.

    I think that’s the rule, or maybe it’s the whole episode rather than the particular foul.

    They owed him two free throws for the regular foul and two more for the flagrant aspect but I don’t believe you can get more than 3 points from free throws for any particular foul.

    Don’t forget that until now, he hasn’t played in any back to backs at all. Not surprising they wanted to see how that went the first time with very limited minutes. I think the strategy was to get us into good shape for the second half, which did happen. The team should not have collapsed like they did in the third quarter. I’ve rarely seen anything like it in pro basketball. Outscored 35-12?

    I agree. Yes we’re better than our previous teams that collectively had the very worst cumulative W-L record in the NBA over the past 10 years, but that’s an extremely low bar. I too want to see this team live up to their potential.

    It’s not relevant to what I said.

    Wasn’t Trevelin Queen the G League MVP recently? Unfortunately you just can’t reliably extrapolate performances in that league to the NBA.

    That’s correct

    I addressed it earlier (see first post above) but obviously medical staff has laid down some rules. Whether this is the right approach or not remains to be seen. Probably cost us the game tonight but maybe not playing him big minutes in a back to back will result in more future wins this season. Hard to know.

    I agree with you about Suggs. I didn’t understand that either.

    True but without the third quarter collapse it doesn’t come down to individual plays in the 4th

    They announced before third started that Isaac wasn’t going to play for rest of game. And late in games, AB freezes and won’t shoot. Announced Markelle was out for injury maintenance before game started.

    Third quarter was the big swing. That’s how we lost this game.

    He was freezing cold. That really would be risky at that point. If he played some in second half it would be different.

    I think it actually depends. If we can only have 10 minutes/night of JI and it’s not enough to move the needle, then I’d rather go for increased minutes even if there is some risk. A chance for an effective JI, even risking injury, is probably worth more than a Ji who is protected so much that he doesn’t really help your team win due to minute restrictions, even if he never gets injured.
