    Paolo is worn out from all the ball handling and play making responsibility.

    This is a rough game.

    This is a badly constructed roster by Weltman. It's actually shocking that Paolo is able to have the year he is having with this roster. The spacing has to be the worst in the league. I'm not even expecting much from us in the playoffs, because we're going to be the easy team to scheme for, all teams have to do is pack the paint, double Paolo, and make the guards beat you. I think Weltman made a really big mistake by not making a move at the deadline. The Knicks are loaded from all the moves they made before the deadline. I hope this conservative approach by Weltman ends after this season, because they'll be a ton of shooters on the market this summer and we need to grab 2 or 3 of them. Here's mine early Free Agency wishlist: D'Angelo Russell Malik Monk Luke Kennard or Malik Beasley We need to revamp our guard position, so we can open thing up for Paolo and Franz.

    I hope Jett works out. Because Keyonte George would've been the perfect guard to pair with Paolo and Franz. He's balling out in Utah. He remind me of Garland.

    This team can get nothing on offense from the guards. It's hard to watch. This is how it's going to be in the playoff, just double Paolo and pack the paint and make the guard beat us.

    Yeah, Castle is more like Markelle than he is AB. He put pressure and finish around the rim just like Kelle. His shot has come on in the second half of the season, too.

    Yeah, I don't think he fits with this squad anymore. I think he knows it, too. Which is why he forcing things whenever he gets the ball. They need to revamp the guard position this off-season. Suggs and Black are the only locks for next season. Malik Monk should be at the top of their list in FA. Simons, too, if he becomes available.

    SVP and Legler just had a whole segment on SC about the Magic. Talking Paolo and Franz being 6'10 play making wings. Also, had nice thing to say about Suggs. But they did spend a lot of time talking about our lack of 3pt shooting. Pretty much said that's an area the other top teams can burn us at. Weltman needs to fix that this off-season.

    I agree. The turnovers are very telling. Outside of Fultz we don't have a guard that put pressure on the rim. Suggs can barely get pass his man, and when he does he rarely gets to the rim. Teams are going to try to expose this in the playoff. Paolo has to tighten his handle. He tend to get the ball poke from him a lot, and he has to stop with the jump passes. He just needs to take the shot in those situations. Hopefully, Fultz knee strengthen up over these next couple of weeks, because I think we're going to need him to close out games for us.

    We need a lead guard. Weltman really has to reshape this roster this off-season. We need guys that can't get there own shot and put the ball in the bucket. That will really open thing up for Paolo. The lack of spacing is so obvious. Teams aren't threaten by our shooters, so they just pack the paint. A guy like Simons would do wonder for this team. He has to change his approach on these defensive minded, offensively challenge prospects, and bring in guys that can score. Balance it out.

    Jalen Johnson is who Weltham thought they were getting when they drafted Chuma Okeke. The kid a stud. Had no idea his game was like that.

    Guard play been @##. Could really use Fultz tonight.

    Franz been forcing things a lot all season, which is why his percentages are down across the board this season. He plays better playing off Paolo. He gets into trouble when he tries to initiate the offense more times than not.

    Keyonte George would've been the perfect guard for the Magic. He would've complemented Suggs in the backcourt, too. He was giving it to Suggs tonight. I think we drop the ball on that pick. I read they were high on George, too. All and all, very good game. Jazz were hitting some big shot, which kept them in the game. But Paolo took over down the stretch and Suggs hit some big shots to close out the game. Markelle played his part in the win, too. Entertaining game.

    Shooting was horrible to close out the half. Can't wait til the day when that's no longer the problem. I mean, it's been the main problem for over a decade now.

    Cole played his ass off down the stretch, hopefully this game gives him the spark that he needed to get going again. Nice to see Goga close out the game, too. He made a big difference against Vuc, who was having his way with Carter. Vuc was the highest fantasy point getter last night, fwiw.

    We could've at least got a back up PG. I'm tired of watching Cole Anthony, he's been trash the past 2 & half months. AB should definitely be playing his minutes. And to think, this guy believe he's a starter. He'd be out of just about every playoff team rotation. They need to clean this roster up this summer. Either that or Weltman takes a hike.

    I wouldn't mind D-Lo, especially if we trade Fultz. I feel he's holding back playing next to Bron an AD. I think he'll give us that spark we need in the starting lineup with his scoring and playmaker ability. Plus, he could be had for cheap.

    Would be a good replacement for Harris.

    Yeah, Simons makes the most sense, and would be a perfect fit next to Paolo and Franz.

    Yeah, Chuma shot is broken.
