Sometimes Kristaps Curry makes me angry. Just dribble a few steps and walk into a closer open 3. He'll learn.

Feet weren't set...shooting form not so great...Would like to see his shooting % on those type of shots- where he gets the open look for a 3 while trailing the play.

He was like 5 ft away from the 3pt line. if you can't get closer you just need to not take the shot. It's something he will correct though

Are you watching the ball and player movement or just looking to make stupid points?

I didn't say the ball wasn't moving..I said he hasn't touch the ball but twice, KUZ has been way more involve then KP. He is just not an aggressive player, and he will never demand the ball. He just plays within the offense..He's not a alpha player. They don't hinder him, he just doesn't make his presence felt, like Towns or most big men

Give it time. I think people are being way too hasty with KP. He's still got more development ahead of him. Just remember he's just getting back.

It's amazing how people expect the world from him. I don't want him demanding the ball and chasing it down like Melo does yet. I want the ball to move and Porzingis be targeted in scoring situations, like cuts to the basket and high screens for the short jumper.

I don't know what's worse--the Magic team or Elfrid's hair.

KP really needs to improve on his D next year.

I'm hoping that as KP picks up some strength, his defense will improve. We'll see.

Tonight I think KP is still adjusting to the game speed and he's a bit winded. Give him a chance to get back his conditioning and timing.

KP got posterized by a frenchman not named Frederic Weis...
Knixkik @ 3/1/2017 8:10 PM
KP just needs to shoot less 3s and focus on getting closer to the basket. His mid range game is too good to settle.

Every time KP gets it at the top of the key, I scream b/c he always wants to shoot it and he's always several feet behind the arc and his feet are never set.

Orlando's fans are definitely not a supportive bunch, you see the empty seats for the first 7 levels..

Rose is a completely different player when he decides to pass the ball
He is playing like a real point guard tonight

So much talent on this team with KP Melo Rose such a shame we messed it up so bad

I have to say I think if Lance Thomas had been healthy all season we would be about 5 wins better right now. He completely changes the way the team tries on D.

It's really interesting to see how hard it is for Rose to make the pass back to the Pop guy after the screen when he is at the 3pt line. I see other guards make this pass consistently but Rose seems to struggle with it.

He used to make this pass to the mid range Pop guy when he played with the Bulls all the time because of Taj and Boozer's shooting ability. Has a few feet thrown off his rhythm or what?
