Jimmy butler doesn't get any cool points for me. I know it's basketball but it's still work. Can anyone get away with this at their job? Also hasn't he clashed with someone everywhere he's been? Maybe he's the problem

Doncic is what Hezonja was supposed to be.

Just thought it was funny that Dwight Howard is out with a sore butt. Wonder if he just had too much to drink one night and woke up with a headache and a sore butt?

Glad we have Bamba but got to admit Young looks really good.


He looks like an average PG, which to us looks really good.

Can you imagine if he misses that heave with 2.2 left while wearing a Magic uni? He’d be crucified here.

It's stupid shot in general. He made name of himself taking stupid shots.

He is bound to be Brandon Jennings. Too weak and too small to find any ways how to be effective player, combined with nature of chucker who does not really work hard to get better looks. Preferfs hoist it up whenever he can.
Naturally,already in preseason can't crack into 40% FG

On defense usless.

His only good game was vs Spurs, team that lost starting PG night before and used G league guy to fill need.

Brandon Jennings is a perfect example.

First game NBA opening game observation. That trade of Tatum for Fultz is an absolute steal for the Celtics. GM Ainge is a stud! Hopefully we can sign someone like Ainge

I know he's surrounded by a lot of talent, but Rozier appears to be really blossoming into a nice player.

He's almost certainly going to start for somebody next year at 15-20M per year.

I don't think I've ever gone out of my way to watch Rozier other than last night. He seemed like a player who has a lot of skill that hasn't been efficiently organized and refined yet. Lots of talent brewing there in a lot of different aspects of the game.

Watching the first night of games last night and its kinda sad the amount of talent on teams such as the GSW and Boston in comparison to the Magic, lol.

Spencer Dinwiddie:
Game 1 vs. Detroit Pistons (still 2:00 to play)
22 pts, 10-17 FG, 4 reb, 6 ast, 1 stl


I have been carrying this banner for a while now. I hope we make a call to try and get this kid over the summer. It will be a wild free agency with many bigger names. He may be on the sidelines of the spending and available to a willing bidder. The price has to be right. No doubt about that but I would make a generous offer and see what happens.

Yeah, I'm watching that game as well. Both him and Ayton look good. I think with guys like them and Bamba, this draft class is going to be pretty special.

Dennis Smith doesn't impress me .. certainly not enough for him to keep getting brought up as an Isaac replacement.
