Sweater Vest Thread #12: Magic 95 - Hornets 84

[UCFJayBird]

I went with Cole because I think he gave us the much needed boost offensively. He made mistakes for sure, but Franz wasn't effective until the 4th quarter, and much of that was after we had taken the lead. It's close though. And quite frankly Moe is right there with them as well for the same reason, came in and gave energy and got us to turn things around. Moe is super frustrating at times because he likes to think he's his brother offensively at times, but the intangibles he brings are so great. He's the guy who can get a team out of a mental rut (except for shooting, that's apparently impossible for this team, lol).

Cole
Franz
Moe

As long as it's a player in this lineup we can't go wrong:

Cole/Jett/Franz/JI/Moe

I personally think the front court deserves the most credit, and wouldn't mind seeing Franz/JI paired in the starting lineup going forward until Paolo returns.

It was David Steele on the road!

Short flight!

^ Such a testament to how completely and consistently Franz has carried this team. Hats off to him. It would be fun to have someone else explode for a huge game every once in a while, though. But the only ones who even seem capable of it are Suggs, AB and Moe, and maybe JI once in a blue moon.

Jett didn't score..... But..... He played pretty decent defense (aggressive, moved his feet well, and was attentive with less lapses with his ball watching and overextending).... And knew the assignment on offense and executed. Aka.....Franz OPERATION "PICK....gimme Ball" .... WAS RAN TO PERFECTION. lol.

If suggs and Harris don't play ... I wouldn't mind him getting the start as we know mose like keeping rotations intact.

Without Howard, the Magic lose this game.
