Magicpassion 4 Report post Posted March 4, 2019 We’ll have to designate Ross the bic lighter instead of The Human Torch on this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In crunch time when it matters most. What was Cliff thinking ? To be honest I look at this current team as a part-time job in a fast food chain while you're in college. Necessary for the time but we all know what's important to preserve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hootie249 293 Report post Posted March 4, 2019 It is what it is. Enjoying actually being decent now. We seem to be a .500 team. If we had been this way from the start of the season, we would be the 6th seed right now. Same problems, mostly a team of Journeymen, non shot creators, no superstar. I love the defense most games. I see the direction. Hopefully the Fultz trade was just the start of being bold and choosing a new path. This loss sucks, still watched it though. More then i can say the last two years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We thought they were gonna wrap things up then. And Isaac was a big part of that defensive upswing. And then he doesn't play in the 4th ? How can you explain that ? You can not. All it is....Cliff being stubborn and hoping T Ross has a turn around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They responded with 5 points in the second half. Can't do much about that When Ross has a bad game our bench is really bad. 1-12 tonight and 0-6 on 3 point shots. Throw in Isaac not getting his average (for the last three weeks) and we can lose to anybody. This team is Dr. Jekyl/Mr. Hyde. Dr. Jekyl against good times and Mr Hyde against bad teams. Gonna drive us all crazy. Hope the coaches figure out how to solve good game/bad game rotation soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magicblue 315 Report post Posted March 4, 2019 When we’ve played our best basketball over the past month, Isaac has been in the mix and a big part of it. When we’ve sucked, he hasn’t been involved. There’s something to that. It’s a little discouraging that our coach doesn’t seem to notice that and in the case of tonight’s game decided to ride a guy who was ice cold. Two games now (NY and tonight) where Ross has completely sucked. It wouldn’t be that big a deal if we didn’t ride him the entire 4th but Clifford wasn’t even asked the question so who knows what he was thinking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magicpassion 4 Report post Posted March 4, 2019 Ross is our JR Smith, he has value, but you can’t always count on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just hope that we give Bamba and Fultz the necessary playing time to develop. They're super raw but we can't let their talent go to waste. Isaac has also shown some amazing flashes and he's been super underutilized lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have often said here that when JI is involved good things seem to happen. And when he isn't bad things seem to happen. Like the Bulls, Knicks, and Cavs losses.
