His other boy, Keyonte, went for 6 points (3-12 shooting) and 6 turnovers last night. Rookies usually suck.

AB has a lot of work to put in this summer though. I'm open to moving him for someone like Dejounte though.

We can wait for 2 months for Cole to find a rhythm, but expect AB to produce on demand. That's why the ship has almost sailed on AB and Goga this season. It takes time.

AB really has some work to do on his handles this offseason. If Ingles can walk-dribble his way to the rim, AB should be able to figure it out. He needs to add some more shake and shift. I'm interested to see how far he can push the development of it.

Whose energy do you think Fultz stole in order to go 2-3 from 3 tonight? There's probably some burning locks of AB hair in Fultz's locker.

The pushback on these guys isn't because they shouldn't be given time, but because people act like they are the answer, when they're just as up and down as others. Cole at his best is better than AB right now... doesn't mean it will be like that in the future.

Glad to see the Magic back on the win column! Really like how the Magic played from start to finish.

Been hard on both guys but WCJ and Markelle played well tonight especially Fultz. Let's close this home stand on a high note on Monday.

I felt bad for writing that but I bet he gets a way bigger payday over there than trying to stick in the NBA.

It also takes playing every day to be sharp. When Goga stepped in and produced early in the season, he credited playing with his national team on keeping him sharp. That's why, after sitting so many games, it would take weeks to get him back into game mode.

Oh man, this is a good angle. Definitely some dark magic at work and needs to be investigated.

I felt bad typing what I typed in response but you're probably right. Maybe he "magically" figures it out in the coming weeks. He's clearly going to play in this rotation so for me, gotta root for him and hope he does well for our squad.

With this win and the recent Bulls loss, Orlando can no longer slide to 10. And the Magic number for the Hawks is now one (one Atlanta loss of Magic win and the Magic cannot finish worse than 8).

p.s. the Hawks is down 15 in the 4th !
