Preseason is never a good barometer for star players and the offense in totality. Your starters are playing at 30-35 percent of their abilities and the playbook/playstyle is also at 25-30 percent.

should've clarified that i meant conditioning wise......quite a bit huffing and puffing out there

Replace Orlando Robinson with Moe Wagner and that would have been another impressive Jamal Cain assist.

we're going to win mostly because of the starters but the bench REALLY intrigues me. It's going to be interesting to see how TDS, Jase, Jett, Penda, and AB contribute to winning.

“All the 6ers starters have been out for some time” ma’am you only have 2 starters that actually started this game.

Tonight he was.

But he's more impactful than Jett IMO.

Noah is an amazing defender.

Penda showing his offensive resume

What a win.

Magic looking very good and next game, we get David and Jeff on Commentary.

Penda the plus/minus god tonight.

+26 in 12 minutes.

Don't really like Quinones. Too much of a me-first guy for a guy not good enough to be one.

Agreed. And now I finally sat down and watched for real. I really don’t see anything to complain about for game 2 of the preseason and coach saying he is running them to death in practice. I think we should all enjoy this season but someone will be upset about something… :lol:

Penda/Isaac together against third stringers is unfair.

Tyus is as bad as advertised defensively.

Jase really struggled with Maxey-- expected, probably the fastest player he has ever guarded in his entire life to this point, but attacking Tyus/Jase will absolutely be a big part of team's gameplans against us...

And for that reason we will probably see more PG AB than some of us are expecting.

Don't really care about the stats against Philly backups, but if Wendell's shot is somewhat fixed now that he is further removed from hand surgery that would be huge for us.

Also Penda with super active hands tonight, all world defensive potential, just find that offensive niche.

once bane starts cooking, things are really going to open up because he can get his own shot....Tyus playing ethical, not forcing anything

Tristan looks primed for a phenomenal year. Jase is the truth. Pure jumpshot. Penda major disruptor vibes.
