They have some of the same problems we have on offense. They shoot like 25% on wide open 3's so far, while over 50% of there 3's are wide open :o



Lauri is career 44% three point shooter on open looks... and shoots 2-15 this year ... and 18% for 3 in general.
Porter lead league in 3% for 2 years, he shoots 23% for 3.

It's incredible how terrible their shooting is.

Also their rebounding numbers are just pathetic. They grabbed 40 rebounds less than their opponents, their bench is major reason why.
Imo they should move Carter back to bench and play Young , at least it will give them 1 big off bench.


I think they will eventually figure it out. They have a lot of talent on that team.

Yes. But while it was super causal and a bit off topic at the time but he made it sound like it’s actually becoming reality soon.

I think Portland is the team I will be cheering for to win in all this year (assuming Orlando has no shot). So, just a nugget of info that caught my attention.

I hope so too, Portland deserves a legit shot

I am still impressed they turned former 2nd round pick Josh Richardson into Butler. They can do anything with any player if you really look at their bench players and what they get out of them this season alone.

I'm honestly starting to come around the idea of moving the 3pt line back a few feet.

Tonight Houston vs Nets, maybe another 150+ : 150+ no defense shootout :o

Kinda funny that the Kings where the GB's offseason darling 2 years in a row & in the end they play like the last 10-15 years :lol:

Nunn is Nutts

Guy is flat out fire out there, averaging 24 ppg as a rookie ,while being uber efficient.

Granted he isn't young rookie, but still can shoot lights out.

We'll probably get the Nuggets best effort Saturday after the coach called them out after losing to the Pelicans. I think the Bucks are coming off a lose too.

MPjr looked pretty decent last night. Just watched the League Pass rewind.

I struggle to believe the ghosts of his injuries are forever behind him, but if they are he can be a top 3 talent in this league. No joke.

Brogdon is looking great in Indiana so far. 22/10 to start the season, and 36% from 3 on 5 attempts a game, and 6 FTAs. Since Turner went down they've found better form, which makes me wonder how quickly they'll ditch the twin towers attempt and continue with more small ball.

Knowing Isaac might have a future at the 5, I wonder how a roster like this would go?

Isaac/Bamba/Birch
Aminu/Chuma
Gordon/Iwundu
Fournier/DJ/MCW
Brogdon/Fultz

(with Fultz and DJ swapping defensive assignments).

League's leading scorer James Harden is shooting 36,5% from the floor and 14-70 (20%) for 3.
You can't even make this stuff up.

And they have 3-2 record because of...Westbrook , who leads team in rebounds, assists, steals and is even 3rd in blocks per game.

Despite shooting 36% FG and 20% for 3, James Harden has TS of 56% because of 81 freaking FT he had so far. Orlando Magic as a team had 103 FTA so far.

Beard is averaging 16 FTA .... My God...

Once the season flows along, Harden will round out his form.

GB says Dwight won the lakers the game today. What did he do? Had a dub dub but they made it seem like he went Orlando Dwight at the end of the game. Anyone see?
Woj is the new Bucher. Shams is the new Woj. Espn is the new TMZ. The NBA is the new WWE.
