This board man.


Utter nonsense. The champions were the #1 defense. No one wants to be 10th best defense unless they are stupid

Jovic’s nose could be guilty of a lane violation by itself

Black is way better than Tyus, but they are giving Tyus more minutes.

I thought Tyus Jones wasn't supposed to commit bad turnovers like that. So is he really about to post his worst shooting and ast/to season of his career as soon as he puts on the Magic uniform? Lol. Probably.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Paolos shot appetite has to change for Orlando to win anything meaningful.

Double team fade away long 2 is simply not sustainable longterm.
