So will Anthony Black now be a star? After one preseason game we were calling him a weed addict and a bust… just trying to keep up.

Jett is trying on defense.

If you had paused the play right before he jumped, I would have been certain that was a power dunk. But then he just bizarrely got no lift whatsoever on that jump.

He fat?

Neither of those free throws by Chandler had any business going in lol.

Par the course

As i said before, this is the Magic board. First game gets you elected in the HOF and the next gets you classes to learn Chinese

It just ain't there with Jett. He doesn't do one thing well.

Paolo falls a bit too easily for my liking on offense. Idk if its strength but he needs to finish with power.

Paolo’s back pounding the air out of the ball. That’s his default setting.

A little frustrating that we’ve got Tyus and Bane out there, the team added an offensive assistant and skills assistant, but we’re back to watching Paolo iso offense?

Can already see how Tyus struggles on defense, will be better seeing him off the bench and he'll hopefully hit some threes

I haven't been particularly impressed with Tyus so far, but he does look to get the ball up the floor. The quick advance on that last possession led to an advantageous position, even if Jett nearly blew it.

Coaching staff will have to clean up Paolo 1 on 5 usage. Ugly basketball.

The P&R passing looks good at least, but yeah.

I’m so disappointed this game. Jase looks like what I’d expect Jett to look like. Jase will take his minutes real quick.

So far, the new guys haven't shown anything in the first two games.

Not that Barlowe is an accomplished NBA scorer, but hey, that was really good defense by Paolo.

Yeah, I don’t see him see him being resigned
