Jett has me pumped after that performance! The thought of him and Suggs both catching fire from deep on the same night would be Splash Brothers with some All NBA Defense.

The North Star is BRIGHT!

I'm glad the Spurs got Wembu and that he's everything they hoped for, I would have hated to see him gifted to a big market team.

With every passing game its obvious to me that Cole, Gary and Wendell are square pegs in round holes with our roster.

Man, Jett and Tristan can shoot the damn lights out. It's insane...

loved what i saw from black and jett

really concerned with Franz's 3 point shooting. it looks so flat to me. Wouldnt be surprised if he takes a step back this year. Teams know that with him, you just need to defend the drive since it doesnt look like hes developed an in between game and/or the three point shot.

I have concerns with suggs as the PG, his dribble has not developed enough yet where he can handle a half court defense. Plus he still gets sped up sometimes. honestly black looks more controlled and organized.

still its just preseason, cant over react just yet

Cole still looks like garbage and can't create. Watching him try to score, with shooters standing at the 3 point line was just painful.

Suggs was better tonight, 17 minutes 0 turnovers

Post Game Presser. Not much in here. Mosley complimentary of Jett and Goga when prompted. Reducing turnovers is a big focus for them. Jett talking about feeling confident and playing off of Paolo and Franz and how they make it easy for him. Goga giving Paolo, Franz and Jett heaps of praise and just being a humble dude.

Two stats catch my eyes.

i) 4-16. That's the three-ball shooting line of hte starters.

ii) Twelve Magicians missed at least one three-balls. (only Black was perfect).

High TOs and poor distance shooting; some things never change.

On a positive note, the Magic is clearly going to be an excellent rebounding team this year.

Glad to see Jett doing well. I see no reason he doesnt replace Cole or Harris in the rotation. He is as much of a point guard as those two. Him starting is propably nothing, but he did well. He is more dynamic than KCP, and we need every bit of dynamic ball handling next to Suggs. Black and Howard are propably the most complimentary duo of our guards.

Ps. Nothing new with Cole being selfish. It was very visible from the day he was drafted. Being funny and being unselfish are not the same.

gary can get hot like this however he definitely can't do the off the dribble stuff and gary only shoots when he's wide open...jett can shoot and hit contested

Interesting game, much like vs Pelicans you can tell players are in diffrent stages of regular season preparation ( ones who are overtrained didn't even suit up ).

It will be very interesting to see how Mosley handles rotations. No miracle work can solve lack of playmaking and ballhandling on perimeter but SG-SF position is overcrowded.

I saw Cole knock a rebound out of his hands. Welcome to the Magic.

Cole Anthony is so erratic! He shot two air balls, doesn't take care of the basketball and more importantly doesn't let the game come to him! Take him out the rotation coach! TDS has more poise then him. Jett Howard and Goga played amazing by the way!

Does Cole Anthony have ADD? Dude needs to settle down!
