There's been no indication yet in this game that Fultz has any desire to attempt more threes. We'll see how it goes.

Pretty clear it's gonna be hard for the Magic to trade Cole unless we get another scoring guard in the trade

Guys it’s preseason…. I don’t think in a normal rotation Wagner will be out for about 12 game time minutes in half.

Okay.. I want to see the Cole-Suggs back court with Black at the 3 and Wagner and Isaac at the 4 and 5.

Good point. I was just thinking to myself how the finals run and the world cup injuries would effect him. Seems like he will be riding the bench for most of these games.

Midway 2nd quarter we already gave up 60 points. Something ain't right in that picture yet.

Always cracks me up when they spew nonsense and then it's the complete opposite on the floor.

Dude, it's preseason game #1 and they were like 10th/11th in defense last year. It will be their calling card. How's that spewing nonsense.. let's stop the panic for a bit because I'm telling you now, some games will be very ugly defensively regardless of how good or not they are there

It doesn't help that the Pelicans are a particularly huge team, but when Black is on the floor with two other guards, he's gonna guard the small forward ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just give me some minutes of the Black/Suggs/Isaac trio please at some point this season.

I would guess its there whole team with good ball movement, and its just Cole for us lol.

Wagner is a man

The difference in the game so far has been missing easy layups and dumb fouls

Easy for the Magic defense to look good... when they're defending the Magic offense. :wink:

Frustrating that WCJ is not finishing brilliant passes from the guards

These damn free throws man

Suggs looks so composed out there. Love what he's done in the 1st half.

ibraheim718 · Post #298 » by **ibraheim718** » Wed Oct 11, 2023 1:01 am

Jalen just looks comfy this year.

We can criticize Suggs for his shooting, but he plays tough defense and is a willing passer and makes the right reads.
