He seems like he wants to be somewhere else?

My guess is, he moved up to Kentucky to show he could do good things anywhere, thought he would get picked earlier and be able to play in the NBA, not just in gl.


Edit: he still has something in my opinion, I really like him, but he’s gonna have to get a little more spit in his pitt!

Win or lose Joe has given the young guys a chance to play.
That's a good thing.

Walsh over Baylor is also a good move by Joe.

Reason why the Magic has a losing record is because other teams can match their size and other teams shoot better than the Magic.

If Cs are to win this game, it has to be on defense and rebounding, not shooting.

Too much sacrifice by letting Sam get a lot of minutes.

Boucher isn't Injured.
We could use his height.

Why do we have a ton of people on this Team, that we Don't want to play???

Energy and athleticism, that's why the Cs are back in it.

Shooting and softness will not get it done.

Brad had the chance to draft Kalkbrenner
But no, he had to be cute and get Amari and Shulga :banghead: :banghead:

And he knew he is going to lose 3 bigs

He's got good numbers tonight, in Maine. 8pts, 5 rebs, 4 blks, halfway through the 3rd Qtr.

Garza can’t move his feet on defense. Having Garza, Hauser and Simons in the lineup together is suicide


Garza net minus 14..

Qeuta leads starters with plus 12 at this time

I am willing to see how Walsh continues on the boards for a bit. Minott has reached Boucher level rebounding.
