Sweater Vest Thread #37: Magic 116 - Spurs 105

[drsd]

Banchero. Dude goes 24/4/10 with two steals a perfect 6/6 and he is not a top-2 player. Ace for the mittens.

Paolo had a spectacularly bad game going until the final five minutes. He scored four times late when the game was more or less already out of reach (Magic up 2-3 possessions or more on each bucket).

With 5 minutes left in the game Paolo was 5/17 from the floor for just 15 points with 5 turnovers and was playing really bad defense.

I did have him as Orlando's third best player, only. It's not like I was gonna go mittens with Houstan instead.

I'd argue Houstan's contributions were more impactful than Paolo's were. Like I said, Paolo went 4/4 for 9 points in the final 5 minutes when the Magic had already taken control of the game.

Houstan came in with 6:36 to go in the 3rd quarter and Magic trailing by 5. When he checked out in the 4th quarter, the Magic were up 9.

In that stretch he hit 3 of 4 three pointers, grabbed a rebound, had two assists, got a steal and blocked a shot.

I am loving Houstans effort off the bench. Both sides of the floor. The limited minutes means he isn't be too hardly capitalized against. I can see how Mose has forced Jett to be this guy and it just hasn't worked out. Houstan was given a shot and literally has shot his shot on both ends to a brilliant hot streak thus far.

I usually abstain from voting on these unless I watch the game.

I always come in here to get a feel of the game that I wouldn’t glean from a YouTube cut.


So +1 to you all, and thanks!

This was a win; so let's agree that I am silly and you are right as we sing together:
