2023-2024 Regular Season Game 58: Orlando Magic (32-25) at Atlanta Hawks (24-32) - 7pm

Eventually I'll teach some of y'all about 3PT volume and why it matters.

A high volume 3PT attempt guy like Houston who makes 38.5% (what Houston is shooting including tonight) is FAR more valuable than what Gary Harris did last year (43% on low volume).

Like Caleb and AB make about the same percentage of their 3PT attempts, but Caleb is far more valuable as a shooter because he hunts more shots and doesn't need to be wide open to take shots.

Seems safe to say. Luckily our schedule is easierbut we could really use Isaac for our home stand we have against 4 West playoff teams

I'd love to hear how you're going to replace this:

He's basically the best defensive player in the league in the minutes that he's played. Thats not exactly the easiest thing to replace

Predictable.

4/11 from the FT line. I'm sure those lost points aren't going to matter at all at the end of the game.

Either way we have to try. JI is a paradox

Team is so unserious on B2Bs.

Suggs is dissecting this defense

I'm turning this off the next time we miss two free throws in a row, idgaf.

Post #295 » by **SOUL** » Mon Feb 26, 2024 1:25 am

I'm done with WCJ.

Goga is the JI replacement

Like i'm all for us using draft picks on trying to get the next Isaac in the draft. I'd even consider trading up if there's a true 6'10+ player who can guard both the perimeter & paint

but until then, Isaac is generational defensively and will most likely stay on the Magic till he retires. He's even more valuable with Wemby/Chet/Giannis in the league on contenders

Why is AB the only one getting back on defense?

ogmagicfan · Post #299 » by **ogmagicfan** » Mon Feb 26, 2024 1:27 am

I dont understand why we can never put away the Hawks
