So what? They easily beat the Hornets.



For me its more about the style of play and the entertainment aspect. Seeing Hou playing is not interesting when all they do is launch 3s. And if every team is launching that many 3s its not a good product.


70 three point attemps ( that was recorded in OT) is actually NBA all time record.

I understand why having space is important, but Houston is now parody of offense.
It's just guys shooting 3s after 2 passes.

They're a classic "Live by the three....die by the three" team.

On the bright side, NYK had RJ Barrett, Robinson, Knox and Smith Jr. coming off the bench...more dysfunctional and non-developmental than us?

Lol true, but we have to be in the bottom 5 over the last 10 years. We've turned into a joke and management seems ok with that.

Based on what the hawks did during the deadline + last years draft yeah that rebuild is moving way faster than Orlando's. Only 8 game difference where one team re-signed it's vets to win and 1 team is playing rookies and not trying to win isn't a huge gap IMO.

Trae Huerter Hunter Collins Capela is a better starting 5 than anything the Magic can put on the court even when we're healthy. Add in Reddish and a likely top 3-5 pick this year + solid cap space open for 21. Heck who knows they could even offer Fournier 15+M and he would fit in better with that roster since he wouldn't have to create and that style fits his skill/game better.

The main thing with the Hawks is that they had a hole at C and the first thing they did was address their weakness. Such a novel concept. Don't worry though, we've fixed all of our problems with James **** Ennis. I can't wait till we see him at the All-Star game repping the Orlando Magic and shouldering us by himself to the playoffs.

Yea but this was never going to happen. Murray had from day 1 in the leaque more value than Gordon.

But MKG is close to a buyout. The perfect WeHam player :lol:

Full MLE for Kidd-Gilchrist? I am not sure that is awful, but what are you staying?

Wiggins off to a good start in GSW.

I'm going throw out a big guess that we trade for Wiggins in the offseason. We let Fournier walk and trade AG + 2020FRP for Wiggins. Hopefully half a season playing with GSW can help him learn some more winning habits even though they're another tank fest.

Tanking doesn't work

But people still want to tank. So dumb. This generation of losers is getting sadder by the day
