Gonna be an interesting game between the Knicks @ Magic coming up.

Magic still need to make a move to land a PG, and I have zero faith in the Knicks. Part of it is my bias as a Pistons fan, but the other is not seeing Thibs on the sideline. Say whatever you want about him, he got that Knicks team to play HARD, and they don't look the same.

Long season, so we'll find out. Just an early observation.

Suggs has been playing PG.

And doing a phenomenal job at that.

Suggs is a waaaaaay better shooter than I ever thought he’d be. There may have been some voodoo where he stole some shooting from Paolo and Franz (today’s Wagner notwithstanding).

Knicks have been playing 8-5 whole game. This is Lakers Kings level cringeworthy refereeing

Orlando players are flopping and getting all the calls lmao

The Knicks started the flopping, and the Magic joined in.

So Orlando fans shouldn't be complaining.

No. He turned it around his 3rd year.

I don’t see how that is a “no” to anything I said.

No.

(I'm kidding.)

It's weird because his shot *looked* fine even when he was shooting badly his first few years, it just looked a little "rushed" is the best way to put it.

There's still games where he'll go like 0-5 but then hit 5 the next game, so at least he has the capability to hit a bunch now.

Can someone tell me why Wagner’s insta handle is franz_weasley?

Then just ignore the no.
Jalen turned his shooting around his 3rd year.

Dumars was right, Fam

Derik Queen will be leading the new revolution, book it !!

I mean, he shot great his third year and then sucked again last year. Now he’s approaching his third year level again.

What I’m saying is, when he was drafted, he looked like a football player playing basketball. Super intense, great defense, maybe a little too crazy, but I never envisioned him as a legit shooter. Now he looks like one. It’s surprising.

Where's muh boy Okongwu ?

His brother Mo called him that. (I can’t remember which podcast that they briefly spoke about it). I think it is a reference to Harry Potter.

[tmorgan]

I gotta go to a birthday party, gonna miss most of my Pistons game. We better stomp them, no Giannis, plenty of rest. But we don’t stomp anyone ever.

Would y'all be mad if Lakers made a trade and Zion was traded and somehow Zion started playing 75 games a season

[chilluminati]

I love how Ausar frustrates so many people on offense. Another game with someone getting chippy with him. He's the chill brother though

He is CLAMPING

[chilluminati]

Season debut for Jaden Ivey!

What, are you gonna Weekend at Bernie’s him? That’s so beyond realistic it’s not worth speculating on.

never say never in the NBA

Magic rounding into form. Dangerous team.

Much like the upcoming re-integration of Ivey in Detroit, when Paolo gets back they’re going to have to find a way to make it work.

Are we sure they’re better with Paolo?

Not sure at all. But he’s gonna play, so they gotta figure it out. Just like Ivey.
