Looks like all that talk about BS breaking out might have been BS.

After fighting the ad popups and link redirects for 5mins it's working with sound woohoo!

Just in time for halftime (((entertainment))) :/

The magic are currently telling a story about how they all fought each other.
They say an analytics man doesn't have a heart, but I ran the numbers and nothing can be further from the truth - Sam Hinkie probably

The last bit about the Bench warmer running in to get some jabs in on everyone in the scrum was funny :lol:

thybulle and shamet will be on the top 10 list of their drafts when all is said and done.

Gotta give credit to the front office, trading shamet was awful tho

Fultz fouls out with worst +/- for the game. I'm not real broke up about him moving on

Looked the exact same as the few times he suited up for us. Still got no jumper.

I am very impressed by Ben Simmons, thought he would not improve much but it is clear he has made a huge leap.
Great takes since 2024-04-20

Did Ben take any jumpers today? I see that he only made one basket, but did he take any outside shots?

I guess it doesn't really matter but I hope the Pistons have a full lineup Tuesday/we play our guys. Destroying the Hornets/the Magic missing some of their best players is fun and all but it would probably be helpful to play against an actual NBA team before they start counting.

The Magic are gearing up to stop Giannis in the coming years. Being able to shutdown Simmons is just a byproduct of that.

It is still preseason so it is hard to draw any conclusions, but i would have preferred to see Simmons be more active and decisive against Isaak and Bamba. The team will need some shot creation, other than Embiid, in the half court, especially when the 3s dont fall.

This was actually by far his best game this PS too. Before tonight he was shooting like 26% and averaging almost as many TOs as assists over 4 games. He needs to hit jumpers or else the rest of his game doesn't make that much sense, not quick enough or big enough or anything else to make him a player without a slick shot (hustling after little gaps in the defense that close 9 times out of 10 isn't a sustainable NBA offensive game).

ORL fans trying hard to believe in Fultz, reminds me a lot of Philly fans a year ago, except even dumber knowing what everyone knows now.

F'ing Colangelo man.

Was being dramatic like a few posters in this thread.

He's got 10 metres of wrapping around it after today's game so obviously was taking it easy for a reason.

Just precautionary. Probably heard Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is contagious.
