We need Payton back. Kemba killed us.

I agree. I would like to see this team clicking with Payton. His speed and court vision is superior. Plus, his passes favor Gordon. 

Fournier is being a douche and needs to fall back on earth.

Kemba has burned EP too.

 

The body language between AG and Fournier is obvious.

NBA egos don't allow for players to act like adults.

I think we're gonna be fine 

the ag Fournier thing is likely being blown way out of proportion

Oh yeah I forgot about that

I don't know if it would have helped against Kemba the Magic killer but I would have liked to see Payton in there tonight , DJ was garbage on both sided of the court.

Kemba vs DJ was always going to be the biggest mismatch for us out there. We lost because we missed a fair amount of good looks and Vogel probably took too long putting Simmons on Kemba, other than that we still somehow kept it close and tried fighting right to the end. We will be much better once we get Payton back as well, I just hope he is back by the start of next week.

Yeah missing Isaac was big. He understands the game. Meanwhile Mario doesn't, over two years into the league. Isaac just brings more dimensions that we haven't had. 

The crazy thing is Mario played fantastic on defense.  

He just can't play 4. Isaac is a great rebounder and weakside shot blocker.  Mario can't do that.

Dj wasn't really the issue on defense.  I mean he was but the real problem was vucevic helping out to close the lane (which he should do) which resulted in lobs to Dwight.  Vucevic responded by not helping on kemba which resulted in easy kemba baskets.
