3 for 15 from 3 point land. Just keep pounding the ball inside the pain.

Their 3 point shooting is down this year. They need to just keep executing inside.

Agreed. Pound them inside.
That would then open up easier 3's.

Just wait until Lonnie Walker is picked up mid season, three point percentages will kick up

Cs shot 38.8% from 3 last season and 36.4% in the playoffs.

We want them to be great in the playoffs, not the regular season.

3pt shooting is up and down over the course of a long season.

The more important stat is rebounding.

Pop and the Spurs already lost a championship because of a rebound that ended up in a Ray Allen 3.

Magic is a 600 Team.
We're taking them too lightly.

We need to beat them down.

This team still can get past their 3rd quarter woes. Embarrassing 3rd quarter.

That quarter ruined my Christmas.

Lazy, slack and complacent hoops. The worst type of basketball

This is just pathetic. A team that’s missing some of their best players as well.

There are no plays to get Hauser or PP free
Why do you keep them in the game?
