Is my App just not refreshing or do the Magic have 4 pts only and we’re halfway thru the 3rd already. LOL

Orlando can't keep Garland or Mitchell out of the paint

Well offense is 50 percent of the game so it’s pretty important to analyze
Searching a player's PPG is not analysis lmao


Mobleys role of the team has barely changed which is the issue. Hes improved across the board - shooting, rebounding, defense, strength, passing, BBIQ, etc

He takes the exact same amount of FGA and FTA/100 possessions as he did as a rookie

He barely averages any more APG even though hes a fantastic passer and even though we have two great offball players in Mitchell and Garland. Utilizing Mobley more as a high post facilitator like Bam is used has been an easy unlock to give the team an extra dimension and it hasnt happened.

Mobley is a better version of Rookie Mobley in that hes a dynamic fill in the gaps defensive player, and that hes utilized as an offball dunk man and connecting passer on offense.

Let Caris cook now that Mitchell is hurt. He can give you a quarter and a half of solid guard play.

You're not watching the game are you?

It is literally Mitchell and Garland trading iso possessions.

Mobley couldn't even finish the first half due to injury.

Fultz looks so out of place in an NBA game. Its too bad. Hope he gets his rhythm.
