I guess to make me feel a little happier I am listening to "All Star" by Smash Mouth. :)

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

Wait, Jett's not even playing? So let me get this straight.

- We've got a million guys injured and unavailable, and only have ten players in uniform.

- We desperately need shooting even when healthy

- Jett Howard was drafted primarily for his potential as a shooter

- Jett Howard is left on G-League assignment with Osceola, but does not play.

- The Magic play actual G-League lifer, 26 year old non-prospect Trevelin Queen (no disrespect intended).


I think I have my facts straight, feel free to correct me. Maybe Jett has a fake injury too, what do I know.
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.

Kyle Anderson is a guy I like in free agency. He's got a good thing going in MIN, but maybe he'd see the same role in ORL with Isaac likely retired. Very versatile, multi-position, skilled & crafty plus a hard-ass when needed, great ball-mover is his rep...a little bit of Point Forward in his game. MIN facing all kinds of financial pressure...he could be a cap casualty for them

....whisper that it's 75 degrees in ORL today (don't mention the tornado warnings)

This is shaping up to be one of the worst games of Paolo's career.

There was some early talk that Jett didn’t alway put in the work (lazy at practice and in games) at Michigan knowing his dad wouldn’t not play him.

Maybe that’s carried over? It does seem baffling to not have called him up
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

I wonder if Paolo looked around his teammates and said "well, I'm taking 50 shots tonight make or miss".

Pssh. You just don't like him because he's not Keyonte "not actually playing very well outside a few good games" George.

Hmmm, I hadn't thought of us passing on Keyonte for him but now that you mention it that does sort of piss me off.
