Did something happen? I quit watching around the 3min mark left

If anyone gets a chance they should check out Elite Youth. It’s four episodes following Cole Anthony, Tyrese Maxey, DeVion Harmon, and Kenyon Martin Jr through the high school EYBL circuit.

Cole has his moments where he is a hot head on the court. Comes off as a bad teammate at times being so competitive.

i'll take a player that has some dog in him as opposed to a lot of our guys that play like they got shot with a tranquilizer dart

Yay we won... Cole had a good game minus that slap but it was pretty funny. So Clark had a decent game but Ennis is a no show, mo should get his minutes

Anthony got called for a questionable charge on one end and then maybe or maybe not intentionally whacked Zeller in the face fighting over a screen on the other end and got called for a flagrant.

[Def Swami]

Tied for the 8 seed again.

Lol.. rookies..

Will be the theme of the season. Not bad enough to be bad not good enough to be good.

Ugh, let's do it for 7th year in a row. Vuc, Evan, Gordon, probably worst supporting cast since 2015 around them, good enough to miss out on best prospects, bad enough to do anything worth talking about.

Magic bounce back and win this one.

After this win:

It is indeed saddening that the Magic is a better team with Aminu.

When does he return ?!?!?!?

Aminu (knee) will not play Monday against Charlotte.

The veteran went through practice early last week, so there was hope that his season debut would follow close behind, but thus far that has not been the case. The forward has not played since November of 2019, so conditioning will likely be the final barrier before he's cleared for game action.


soo... i assume within week or two he should be back, probably mid February?

Agreed!

When you watch his interviews... it's obvious that he doesn't mean it with ill intent... it's just straight passion. He's tough on himself and tough on others.... which to me is a sign of a good leader... especially when the other players know where it is all coming from. He's got that mamba mentality... which is great in my opinion. And these are the personality traits that you see in others like chris paul. I'd take that on a team that has a lot of passive players.

I can't wait for him to join. He started off the season last season and i know people got sour on him.... but he's definitely an impact player. Getting him and Okeke back will help the maturation of this team for the rest of the season.

True, totally agree. Exactly what I meant in my other post:

We need pro-active and motivated guys with a pulse and fire. Cole is one of those "villains".
