Ok wow anyone want to explain to me why Paul Pierce dunk is the dunk of the night over Oladipo's?
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

It depends on their mods, I once went to a Lakers board and talked a lil trash but not as much as you and I got a short ban. lol

What Magic fans want and what the GM want are different IMO. I think most fan's would unload him relatively cheap, but I feel like our GM loves him and thinks he is part of the core. I hope that's not true though =(

Did I miss what everyone thought of Moe's performance last night? I think a couple of times he could of gambled more on the block on pierce vs trying so hard not to foul. He played a great game though IMO.....as did Vic.

His steal/360 erupted the arena. Feels good to have a guy capable of getting the crowd amped so much :)

How was the crowd overall for the whole game?

Was it a full house or close to it?

I'm not the GM of the Magic so I have no idea. But if I had to guess they would probably want picks or a young player(s) like any other rebuilding team would want.

He played with good energy last night. He is an opportunity scorer, so the number of opportunities for him to score will not be there every single night. The more hustle and energy he plays with usually means more transition baskets, putbacks and catch and finishes are there for him.

He played an okay/good game. Gotta learn to stay down though, he still bites on so many fakes etc (not just Peirce).

The crowd was great the whole game. I don't think many expected us to come out with an early lead so it was built off that.

Was a pretty full house as well

Harkless is 6/9 from 3pt range through 4 games. Put him in the 3pt contest.

Ya that is very true. I just hope fans don't write him off because one game he scores 20 and the next 6 to 9pts.


I really like the 0 turnovers out of him though too :) And even though it's a small sample size his 3 seems to be falling more often as well!

Law of averages. He was extra bad (4-19 .211%) during the preseason, so he is due for a hot streak to balance it out. 6-9 + 4-19 = 10-28 .357

Mid 30's is probably where he is as a open corner shooter now. It's improved, if he can hit 35%-36% we can take that.

It's a shame Tobias won't be back for awhile. I wanted to see how much he has improved.

I'm sure it's more likely it's a slightly more severe injury than first thought than it being some sort of tanking strategy.
