The Rule of averages should even out our 3pt percentage disparities in the 2nd half...

.. is what I've been telling myself since game 1.

He isn’t that at all. His defense has been insane.

Precious has been completely checked out today it’s pathetic

It’s like Oubre. You wouldn’t think he’s a scrappy player but he is

The Cambyman was an absolute VIBE in his rookie season.

Man...really wish he stayed with the Raps - although Oak provided us with some good times!

I don't understand what's the problem. It's not like he's screaming in people's faces or being disrespectful to anyone. He's just hyping himself up. If you try to stop him from doing that you're taking away his whole essence and personality on the floor. Not everyone can be like Kawhi, OG and Fred. And not everyone should.

Because they're scared opposing players will take it personal and torch us :lol:

This game really doesn't seem like it should be this close. But the Magic are shooting 8-17 from 3, and the Raptors are shooting 3-17. There's the difference.

A few things to clean up (finding a body to block out would be top of my list), but decent things overall. Scottie continues to amaze every game. And Banton was fun as well.

Ok Scottie good

simple_jack · Post #691 » by **simple_jack** » Sat Oct 30, 2021 12:17 am

Imagine if this organization gets another top 5 pick next year?

It’s a wrap.

Can’t believe that piece of **** from Rogers almost sabotaged Masai staying

i would rather they start Boucher at center in the second half.

since being called out by nurse, he has played better.

I encourage Cole Anthony to take it personal and then proceed to brick the Magic out of the game.

Will Fred hit a shot in the second half? Stay tuned to find out.

people forget he's only 22...treat him like he's 27 or something

when Norman was 22 he averaged 5.6 ppg

It's so irritating when people use logical fallacies to try and disprove other logical fallacies...

If you wanna make a fair comparison or assessment then take into account all aspects of said players game... norman was never on a rebuilding team given leeway to grow his game... hecwas asked to perform or be benched..
He was behind our star wing on the depth chart...

He also made an impact in the playoffs in both his rookie and sophomore seasons... If nlrman was given gtjs role and leeway in today's NBA he'd probably have developed into a consistent 20 ppg scorer much quicker... hecalready had much better handles and ability to get to the line and finish in traffic... his 3 point shotcwas also rapidly developing...

Scottie is shooting around. Seems fine.

We missed a lot of open looks in the first half, but I'm not worried because our long-range shooting has been coming around a bit. We were 17/69 (.247) in the first 2 games and 37/97 in the next 3 games (.381). One bad half where OG and FVV combined for 0/8 on mostly open looks doesn't phase me. I think they'll get going in the second half.
