2025-2026 Regular Season Game 1: Miami Heat (0-0) at Orlando Magic (0-0) - 7pm ET

AB was good defensively, I have to give him that. He was getting after it and made a difference on that end. Offensively, well, not great, but at least he showed up on defense.

Ultimately, the only player I end up being dissatisfied with was Tyus Jones. He was a sieve on defense and didn't make a shot. Please be better, don't be another crappy backup PG like Duhon or leading assist man Shelvin Mack.

Enjoy it, everyone. We are back.

If they play like this did tonight for the majority of games, I call it the big 5.

Coach Mos needs to make AB the backup PG before Tyus. He got hunted everytime. Its like Coach Spos instruction was to find Tyus and go at it.

Its a Big 4... Once this team gels they're going to be scary. They just won off of sheer talent.

A couple mishaps and poor shots but I don’t get the Paolo slander tonight. We lose this game without him crashing the boards like he did.

Yup! This was the one that got me. I remember being like... "It's only one game... but... just put in Jase, please."

TDS for MIP!!!

24 and 11.... and still .... i feel like Banchero played... "meh"... which is impressive to say.

Bane.... he just makes things work. Love his aggressiveness.

Black.... great defense and aggressiveness.

GOGAAAAAA!!!! Brought that energy off the bench.

WENDELLLLLLLLL..... thank you for realizing that your engine was in neutral... he won that one for us at the end with SUGGS... welcome back!!!

I hope Suggs will realize that his IQ is what makes him a great defender, not necessarily his athleticism. He has the luxury to slow down, be more in control…and still be lethal.

I'm proud of Moseley benching Jonathan Isaac for this lethargic play!

I think he's the one that will need to adjust to this faster paced offense the most. Dude was sucking wind for a lot of the game.

Some people just want to see the world burn. Not his greatest game for sure, but not warranting slander.

We will not take any Shelvin Mack slander here :lol:

I was so focused on Tyus that I forgot how bad Isaac looked. Legit forgot he even played.

Paolo turned it up a gear in that last 5 minutes.

One of the worst defenders in the league, if he's not hitting shots and getting assists he's unplayable

I never wanted Tyus for this reason. He is just a net negative and not playable in today's league. Maybe for 12 mins a game, you can get by, but not an actual rotational player. My prediction or maybe hope is he loses his playing time and just becomes a player coach where his true value lies. We just have better talent on the bench. The only way Tyus should even be in the rotation at the end of the season is if Jase completely flops and I do not see that happening.
