We are lucky they didn't call a foul om Suggs to end the game. He was all over Scoot

Also, Wendell should still get the vest IMO, yeah he tried to lose the game at the last second, but he was the best player on the floor. Paolo was awful, Suggs gambled way too much. Franz was whatever, the bench sucked... just a terrible game.

We escape, I’ll take it. But I’m sure they all know they almost let this one get away. Port played extra hard after losing by 60.

He lost control of the ball because he panicked.

Harris actually played well, WCJ was fine on boards and overall, to me its all on Paolo who was terrible today on both ends. Its hard for us to play when he is not involved.

I’m still livid about Wendell though. I hope he second guesses himself tonight like he second guessed open shots.


He didn't have control of the ball... he's been having issues holding onto the ball for most of the season.


His issue is and has been going strong to the hoop. Whether he had control or not, or wanted to pump fake 37 times, he has to dunk that ball when he regains control and is that close. If Markelle Fultz can dunk from there then 6’10” Carter should be able to as well.

Nerlens Noel had the same butterfingers when he was on the Knicks, but Thibedou made it a point to instruct him to dunk once he did get it. Force the defender to risk fouling you. Lofting it up there is some weak **** and was just asking to get rejected.

Paolo and WCJ can both go harder at the rim if they wanted.

Well my guess is WCJ is one of team leaders in dunks this season, I sure don't want to kill him over one dumb play, he is a role player after all, give him a break

WCJ is pretty good finishing around the rim if he had played the qualifying number of games he would be top 10 in NBA percentages actually. It's just some high profile and comical misses. This time he fumbled the ball. But he wasnt to be blamed for what happened the whole 48 minutes before that moment.

Tell him to stop playing Fultz and his life becomes easier.

Go check Paolo FG % last 5 games and how many threes he started to take lately.
Thats a problem. He has more 3pt attempts then FT attempts in last 5.

Indeed. They lost by 60 previous game so they had an intense effort and we took it too easy. Learning experience, put teams away.
