we went 9 points to Memphis' 27 in the first.

We are now 17 to Memphis' 17 in the second.

No, he actually sets them better than Dwight.

J-Rich needs to kick rocks.....Too inconsistent and virtually brings nothing to the table that Redick can't emulate

Tonight is the NFL Draft and early indications are The Magic will have the 18th pick in this year's NBA Draft.

Orton actually sets himself in position and uses his entire body. Dwight drifts around and depends on extending his elbows (which shouldn't be legal).

As if Chris couldn't suck enough, he can't even make open 3s of late.

All things considered, that could have been worse.

I expect a better 2nd half as the "ZOMG I'M ACTUALLY PLAYING" nerves wear off and the Grizz go even further into cruise control mode.
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.

Well, Miami has 32 points at half, but they are losing by 25, we are just losing by 24.

Offense looked better with Ish IMO. Mind you, it didn't look good or anything. But it looked better than with Duhon.

Harper looked better as he got more comfortable.

If it wasn't for that awful 1st quarter, this game would actually be pretty close. Really glad for J-Harp, just needs to play with confidence out there. If Duhon didn't play in this game at all, I would really like our chances.

Harper needs to score 20 or we need to lose by less than 20 to earn this moral victory.

Harper started off a little rough but got better as time went on....saw a little bit of his range....saw a little of his ability to drive the ball with the nice little finger roll layup.....still making mistakes though....making passes when not mindful of the defense is just asking for a turnover....

Duhon is ass.....period...this guy should be in the YMCA league.....

Wafer is looks ok...had some nice drives.....

Orton intrigues me.....good size and wingspan...could he fill a very poor man dwight role in blocking shots and rebounding?

Earl is hot and cold....one game he's hot dog water bad....the next he's filling up the stat sheet....

Ish.....might be playing a bit too fast but still better than caca...uh...i mean...feces....umm...duhon...

Duhon woke up today destined for a Dunce Cap. There was really nothing he could have done to prevent it.

I've always liked Harper more than Liggins. I think he has a higher ceiling in the NBA.

Justin harper reminds me of rashard lewis, I think he could become a great player in a few years if he works hard and get stronger.
