So nice to see Paul Kennedy on the Pregame. We don't get to see him on broadcasts much these days as he does other Teams now.

Also, Rich Hollenberg is doing play by play as David Steele and Dante Marchitelli are in Covid protocols.

Let's see if The Magic can build on last night and are not too burned out.

Can we please get at least one of our injured pg back? I’m not picky.

He's been a mixed bag in this one. He is a legit PG though, which is new for us. He had a nice hit ahead to Franz and a gorgeous skip pass to Harris. He has gotten himself caught in the air a couple times with no clue what he planned to do a couple times already.

He also tossed a lob to Bamba last night on a pick and roll which seemed to catch Bamba completely off guard. It's nice seeing a ball handler on the floor that spreads the ball around so willingly. He just hasn't played with these guys.

I love that move by Franz. He seldom has anyone guarding him that has the length to bother that.

Oh my that pnr between Franz and WCJ!

RJ can't shoot off the dribble

thelead · Post #12 » by **thelead** » Tue Jan 4, 2022 1:24 am

Bamba needed to pass that out to an open Franz

Franz doing Chicago dirty tonight. They didn't know it'd be you when they traded the pick, man! Go easy. At least he didn't finish that dunk.

He just has a lot of 'Shaqtin' a Fool' moments. He's not absolutely useless on every play but there are a ton of head-scratching moments.

RJ really is a terrific one on one defender this season

thelead · Post #16 » by **thelead** » Tue Jan 4, 2022 1:38 am

This is a tankastic lineup

Who was Ross guarding there????

He jumps every passing lane and never seems to get the steal. He's really undisciplined and apparently the staff hasn't talked to him about it because he just keeps on doing it. He wouldn't be a terrible defender if he would just stop doing it.

Bamba needs to be benched for that one. Did not box out his man and gave up the rebound and putback.
