Statistically, Wendell has been the worst player on the floor.

Eye test concurs. Tyus Jones in a solid 2nd.

Paolo’s not playing well either.

Tyus looks like he didn't sleep last night and walked to the Kia from Windermere.

Yeah I'm going to hate him if he doesn't make shots and post a high ast/to ratio. That's what makes him playable.
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.

I’m happy to have Tyus. It’s ok to observe he’s playing very poorly.

Cole was better than Tyus, and he wasn't in the rotation all the time.

Interesting first half. Can the magic keep the offense up? Will Miami also continue to shot hot? Can the magic get stops?

Paolo sucking and the defense non existent? I assume we are down 10+ at half.

Return to Orlando Magic
