Dean Wade gets the start and LeVert is continuing his flamethrower shooting from three.

Not really sure why the Magic are getting superstar calls.

Franz Wagner currently attacking our bigs directly and making some tough layups over them

Dumb shot by LeVert right there. If you're on the court with better outside shooters, let them shoot.

I'm actually enjoying the LeVert game so far, but he's had a few odd moments still. I love the playmaking

Also, the Dean Wade start has been great so far. He's 3/4 from C&S attempts so far. Playing good defense as well.

Like Cedi. Consistent, in the role, looks good when surrounded by the gravity of the rest of this team.

I think this is the first time since the Raptors game where Mobley has been intentionally targeted to generate offense and he’s doing a pretty good job

I think Neto woke up today and decided he wanted the Junkyard Dog chain

From the box looks like Love, Mitchell, and LeVert struggled shooting from all 3 phases tn.

Swapping in Wade who is willing and able to shoot 3s seems like a good strategy.

Allen and Mobley seemed to have very efficient scoring nights, since there was a win, I assume they held up on defense too.

And Neto didn’t get it. Low key robbed. Sorry EMo and JA

I'll take winning ugly over losing ugly, but I'm definitely ready for Garland to come back.

Yep, feels like he's starting to get his legs back under him. It's going to be fun seeing how much he can refine his decision making in the post.

I was impressed with both Allen and Mobley and pleased to see a scoring punch from Dean Wade. There was at least once when Mitchell directed Love to pass the ball to Mobley, who then got a bucket. Very happy to see that 45 has been keen to get others involved.
Bally sports audio broadcast is at least 20 seconds behind, so another game I watched on mute.

I am really triggered every time Levert touches the ball at this point.

I actually liked Wade in the starting lineup tonight, added a nice element that has been missing. but for the love of everything we need Garland back so desperately

LeVert has those JR Smith handles...

My thoughts:
- It's amazing how bad LeVert has been on layups this year. Like, tremendously bad. He's 3/24 inside the arc-- 1 for 14 inside 10 feet, with some foul calls on some layups that he had good chances at making too.
- But I'm fine with all other aspects of LeVert's game right now.
- Dean Wade is a very good 5th starter. Made sense with Orlando starting Wagner at the 3 and playing big all night. But you could argue it makes sense every night. Seemed to miss short as the game went on though, he might've gotten a little tired.
- Don't know what's up with Okoro. Only player on the team with a negative plus-minus. Not sure what he needs to figure things out.
- On a night where we couldn't make a layup and our starting guards went 8-31, I'm very happy to have won by 11.
