You can tell he's feeling confident when those buzzwords start dropping. Drives me nuts.

I'm not high on him at all, but honestly he's already exceeded my expectations. I had serious doubts he was even an NBA level talent, let alone worth a #1 pick, weak draft class or not. He can move without the ball and make open shots, so at a minimum he's a solid role player as long as he's playing with a high level playmaker like Trae Young. On our team he would probably be having a terrible season. Probably worse than KCP, and without the veteran intangibles.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

lol! Tough crowd!

To me it sounds a little desperate. Poorly worded. But the sentiment was spot on - the team has shown constantly this season that they can win on any given night when guys step up. Gotta try keep players riding any high they have.

Reflection 1: Matching up the team that shoots the most threes at percentage (Boston) against the team that holds teams from shooting threes the least at percentage (Orlando), this is the nightmare for Boston.

Reflection 2: that video reveals why teams are so bad at guarding the Celts. Coach Mosley would "murder" his roster if they played that sort of defense.
Orlando will play zone and switch and switch and switch. It is blatant stupidity to play Boston man-up.

Reflection 3: none of it will matter if the Magic cannot hit shots. Sure the Magic can hold the Celts to, let say, 5-points less than average based on defense. That won't be enough. Yes: Orlando holds teams to the lowest PPG. Well: Boston is #2 on holding teams to low PPG lines.

Reflection 4: Boston's defense will suffocate Orlando. It could get ugly.

I am basically comfortable in those thought lines.

...


Now my inner-Homerism. All Orlando needs is three dud games and four WHAT??? games from the guards. If Anthony and Black play against the Celts like they did in the playin game - only 4 times (dud games are fine), sprinkling in a "playoff Caldwell-Pope" game or two, to quote Jim Carrey, "So you're telling me there's a chance."

The computers like Orlando to win this series at 8%. I think that is spot on. There is a chance. And it is tangible. I BELIEVE!

Can we get an early game thread for the Boston series?

Haha, no, I was going to wait until I found some Magic playoff content that does not consisted of twitter because I don’t have twitter. I thought Orlando would have put something out that would spark conversation but I didn’t see anything.
