BTW... 33pts for Paolo? Woe that was Tmac like. I watched his games and int he 3rd quarter Tmac already had 30pts and i didnt even notice.

That 3rd quarter was a thing of beauty and the catalyst was once again Jalen MF Suggs.

Orlando averaged 31 3Pt FGA last season per game. Today we shot 48. And made 18. That is a huge difference in the blow out W

I hope we keep it up. It will help our spacing and it will help our drives to the rim.

Lots of good takeaways. And Paolo is amazing

The difference in ball movement and shooting from the beginning of last season to what we saw today is massive. Just a great game other than the silly fouls.

Poor Cole, 0-7 from the field.
He'll bounce back super quick.

He usually just runs at the rim and tosses it up, hoping for free throws.
But he was actually finishing some of those shots tonight.
Hope it's not just a one-game thing.

It was over when they started the third and he checked in.

KCP had one 0-5 (0-6) game last season, and went 0-5 tonight in the opener. Just something to note.

Shots made is 1 thing. Defense first still. Jimmy Butler scored 3 points in 26 minutes. Any stat guru wanna find the last time he had a game that bad?

And the KCP doubters. He also only scored 3 points in the game but he had a far bigger impact on his teams performance than the most decorated player in the game tonight.

You saw his defense on Jimmy Butler? That is also why we got him 8-)
