They can win this but they have to make stops and limit there turnovers. And of course hit open shoots

Agreed. He's got an edge to him, has good IQ, and good physical tools. Surprising really.

Other teams aren't like us, they can hit wide open shots so let's stop giving it to them... Why we biting on pump fakes?

Ball gets ridiculously hot at times but he takes stupid shots too. He’s a bigger Trae Young. He’s a top 10 talent for sure, hell, he may even have top 5 talent but I wouldn’t trust him to lead a team to a championship.

Melo the real deal, I'm impressed. It was tight at the beginning so I'm glad we got that 11 point lead going into the half.

If we had just some mediocre outside shot making, this game wouldn't be close. And with this team, you can't even assume they'll shoot better. Law of averages doesn't help much when your average is crap.7%.

I guess not everyone is as trash as KCP, luckily for them there's only ones and he's on our team.

They are gonna chuck a lot in the second. They're only at 14 attempts and they average 45 a game.

Lamelo leads the league in most 4th quarter points. The second half need to be Orlando’s best shooting half if we want a chance at winning and having a good point differential. We need other guys to step up as well.

I actually don't feel great about the 2nd half. We're winning because they have turned it over a ton and we're actually getting up more shot attempts than our opponent for a change. But they stand to continue scoring more from three than us, and if they continue outrebounding us pretty badly and don't turn it over 13 more times, we could be in trouble.

For us, we need another low turnover half, good defensive rebounding, and something reasonable like, say, 33% 3pt shooting in the 2nd half lol. I'm a fair man, I'm not going to ask them for something unfair that they can't give me. Like NBA level shooting.
