The best, and possibly the only, good thing about this game is that Franz and Cole are sharing the offence in a balanced way.

You gotta crawl before you learn to walk. Some people on this board should just walk away from watching the Magic for a year or so if you are all going to be such babies about growing pains. We watched the Vuc arc of this anime for 7 years and many people inexplicably defended those teams and some of those poor players (I don't mean Vuc in this case).

I'm not sure what needs to be done to get May 2021 RJ back but it would be nice to see more than what he is currently giving us.

I hope you're not referring to me. I consider myself more optimistic than most people on this board - I'm cheering on Chuma and RJ!
That doesn't change the fact that at the time of posting we were losing by like 7-10 to the 2nd worst team in the league while shooting very poorly from everywhere except the line. It was messy

I like Saddiq Bey. I know the percentages are UGLY but I just like his style of play.

Cole gets lost on defense too often

Other than some bad long-range 3's, he's played a solid game on offense and has moved the ball for the most part

So... why is Franz not back in the game? He's played a total of 22 minute thus far

Insert gif of 'player just standing around conserving energy for offense'

28 points is the most Harris has scored for Orlando and it's the most points from him since the 18-19 season.
Also 6 threes is an equal career-high
