Too small of a sample. Either he had a rough game playing against Perkins (as always), he has mentally checked out (a la Vince Carter in Toronto), he's rusty, or he hasn't improved at all. We'll see.

That's true......Dallas definitely looked worse than us, today.

IMO, they have gotten worse. Losing Chandler, Barea, Butler and bringing in a clearly distraught Odom and Vince...

Didn't take long for Wafer to more than double J-Rich's output.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Wafer would've made a massive difference with J-Rich's minutes tonight. Constantly attacking the rim.

Wafer just did something nobody else besides Jameer has done all night... Attack the basket... And what do you know it worked!

I hope Stan realizes Wafer should be the offensive focal point of our second unit.

The way Dwight has been playing right now reminds me of how VC played at the start of the 2004-2005 season.

- Dwight and Vince both demanded trades during the off-season.
- Vince sucked at the start of the 2004-2005 season. His trade value lowered so much so that all the Raptors could get out of him were picks, Alonzo, Eric and Aaron Williams plus some fillers.
- Dwight is sucking it right now. Who knows how he will be in the succeeding games.

Return to Orlando Magic
