I expect Anderson to get up 20-25 shots tonight. I can't wait to see him launch a 3 right over Dwight's head, from 2 feet beyond the line, with a guy right on him, 8 seconds into the shot clock, the moment he touches the ball. The white Brian Cook, only with better rebounding. Sorry, but he frustrates the hell out of me. He's the poster boy for settling, and it's when those shots are bricking that teams usually start to demolish us.

i kinda get what you're saying but let's be honest here what else is he supposed to do? I just can't get angry at Anderson for doing what Stan's offense tells him to do....9 times out of 10 Stan would say to take the shot if it's open...so why get angry when he is doing what he should do within this offense? he is supposed to take those shots is he not?

I'm one of the few who is expecting a big season from Anderson, imo, i think he's gonna surprise alot of people including myself, i'm ready to eat crow if he doesn't.

The thing about Anderson is that he always thinks he's open. He never moves the ball around looking for a better opportunity. Just catches and launches way too much from way too far out, way too early in the shot clock.

I got my lower bowl seats with the parking passes to the garage across the street so I can walk straight from the car over the street right to my seats. Plus, it is nice that my section is right near the entrance. No happy hour tonight. I am gonna work til 6:30pm as I am swamped.

But, I gotta see Dwight as this could be his last game in a Magic uniform. You never know.

well hey you may be right...but we all know the only thing Stan sees is the Stats...If Anderson is hitting at or near 40% please believe he always have that green light

We'll see if the intensity is improved tonight.
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

I'm at a fantasy basketball draft party, so I can't edit my thread.

Downtown is buzzing though for some basketball.

I really wish I lived in Orlando sometimes. Oh well, I'll be cheering hard from San Antonio while streaming this game online.

I wouldn't take the Big Baby complaints as a big deal. The guy is a competitor and wants to contribute as much as he can. Most if not all players want to start. Also this is a preseason game so Stan is just experimenting with the lineup. Now if this carries over to the regular season, then we have an issue. Besides BBD is going to play both PF & backup C anyways, so he is going to get his minutes.

SVG is saying all the right things... especially the parts about using J-Rich and Redick coming off off-the-ball screens more
