So far we've exceeded expectations.

I think we will regret not drafting Lively, it’s just going to be hard apparently for Jett to get meaningful minutes. Lively coming off the bench for us and giving us what he does the Mavericks would be huge

You may be suffering from “grass is always greener” syndrome.

It’s not like our bench bigs are unproductive. Mo Wagner, JI, Goga have come off the bench and have been very impactful.

What would Lively do differently from what we have?

KCP is drastically improving our defensive FG%.

Am i wrong or does Franz 3P Shot look good again? I think his first two season it looked good. Then it somehow got kind of flat and the result got worse last year. It seems to me his arch is now better agein, more like in his first two seasons.

KCP’s defense has been insane. I love Suggs because he is relentless and 110% hustle, but KCP is a different breed. Always composed, long and incredibly quick arms which make great swipes on the ball.

I won’t lie, I wasn’t sure how much more KCP could lift our defense, but he’s doing it.

Harris isn't on the injury report. Gary's eyes light up when he sees the Pacers on the schedule.

Pacers went into OT vs Sixers, nice!!

They lost, and while I think the Pacers are wildly overrated, I dont like playing good teams who lost 2 in a row either. But we should have more energy than them.

Isaac is 4th in defensive EPM. Suggs is 10 and Franz 13th.

F-Wagner on 25 ppg, Banchero on 21ppg
Two bench players on >10 ppg: Black and M-Wagner
Carter on 12 rpg

Orlando 11th in ppg at 114.3
Orlando 15th in FG% at 45.3%
WITH: Orlando 6th in 3pt-FG% at 39.4%
Combined that takes Orlando to 10th in eFG% at 55.0%
(Orlando's eFG% differential is an excellent +0.24%)

More on threes:
Orlando 3rd in 3PM at 16.7 pg
(6th and 7th in 3PA and 3FG% couples to that amazing stat)

Stats that are good but should improve:
Orlando is 12th in o-rpg: 11.7
Orlando is 10th in d-rpg: 34.0

ESPN new article about the 10 franchises that haven’t won a title. Anyone see a mistake?

How in the world did they miss us making the finals twice?
