Luke_FfS 251 Report post Posted November 3, 2023 15 hours ago, JJZFL said: I agree pretty much 100% with your comments. My only question regarding Ingles is whether it's a lack of leg, or more the inability to get set properly for his shots due to having no space. My take so far leans more towards the latter. Ingles is surely still finding his legs, but another problem could be that we played him at SF for most time (together with Mo and Isaac usually) and for his age and history, he probably need to play more as a stretch PF as CTMagic pointed when we signed him. Too slow to play against SF at the moment. If Wendell is going to miss some time, we'll probably see Ingles more at PF. Reason why I'm actually more worried about our backcourt injuries, let's hope there's nothing major that early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,217 Report post Posted November 3, 2023 1 hour ago, TrueMagicFan07 said: I would like for Goga Bitadze to start at center, let Mo Wagner come off the bench with the second unit. I thought Goga played well last season in the few minutes he played. Edit: Goga played well as a rim protector. Hey TMF! Happy new season! I agree with you 100%. Plug Goga directly into the starting 5. The bench has been solid and I don’t want to interrupt their chemistry and flow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,491 Report post Posted November 3, 2023 What's up guys? Happy new season. Took a break for a few months that helpfully coincided with the doldrums of the off-season at the start. This place can kind of be an echo chamber at times and I got sick of having the same contentious discussions with the same people over and over. But we've actually got new stuff to talk about so let's say I'm, tentatively, back. Happy with the start sans the recent injuries. Starting the season with a 4 game west coast road trip is ludicrous but it's out of the way and we're above .500. Agree with the above that I think I'd go with Goga to start at the 5. Even if he only plays 20 mins and you make up the rest with Paolo or Isaac 5 minutes I think that's better than disrupting the bench group. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've not even been able to watch any of these West Coast games, given my early morning work schedule. I'm excited to continue to see these guys develop. Agree on Goga in the starting five, too.

We have had debates but I appreciate your knowledge and hope to see more of your posts. Goga starting I like, Isaac needs more minutes and this team needs Isaac to be successful.

harryfromphilly 75 Report post Posted November 3, 2023 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,491 Report post Posted November 3, 2023 Wendell and Gary are out, Fultz questionable for tomorrow. Guessing we start Cole in place of Fultz (provided he can't go) and both AB and Jett get some burn off the bench to make up the hole in guard minutes.

CTMagicUK 1,491 Report post Posted November 4, 2023 I really don't care too much about this tournament to be honest. Also these special court designs are a horrible viewing experience. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,491 Report post Posted November 4, 2023 I'm trying to upvote everyone who said something nice to me but I'm getting a weird error message every time I do ("Sorry, there was a problem reacting to this content."). This happening to anybody else? Regardless, thanks all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
