ball junkie

Looking forward to tonight’s game …first look at Wemby …Spurs can beat us if we aren’t focused …they aren’t the worst team in the league having won 10 games …I’m sure the media will focus on the Paolo Wemby first matchup but I’m actually hoping JI starts and guards him …Wemby is putting up numbers …don’t know if any of you saw his recent matchup with Chet but it got pretty physical and intense …looking at the box looks like Wemby got the better of him

Yet with JI you can pretty much throw all those variables out the door lol …cause it does not matter with him lol lol

All that data is listed …but the plus minus is only for the time you’re on the court that is correct, be it a lot of minutes or not so many …still doesn’t change the numbers …it counts how the team does when x player is on the court be it scoring more or less than your opponent …now if you wanna say he played against backups go for for it …but I think we all know with JI does not matter lol …we all saw what he did to Durant and Doncic on back to back nights the last two nights

Not ignorant at all …good question …and agree with you in that it doesn’t take a rocket scientist if you watch the Magic to know what player makes the greatest impact …and it’s not close re JI …my understanding of plus minus is that when a player, any player is on the court it takes into account of whether the entire team out scores the opponent or the opponent outscores in this case the Magic . What is mind boggling to me is the names at the top …not AB mind you …but Suggs decisively at the top and Banchero solidly in second . It also lists games played, minutes per game etc etc …was reading a few days ago on another site talking about the Magic numbers when Banchero was on the court but I just kinda glossed over it …this little nugget got my attention .

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/worst-plus-minus-orlando-magic-players If you’re a believer in plus minus it’s very interesting who’s at the top of this list …these are season totals …of course if you watch the team no surprise who’s the best …it goes from the top the worst on the team to the bottom whom are the best

Great win. Held a healthy Suns and all their firepower to single digits in the 4th before garbage time and under 100 for the game. We still need shooting and we should address it at the deadline, but I think it needs to be Gary and Chuma that are on the block. The bottom quote was you after the Suns game …will you make up your mind sir lol lol …clock is ticking on the Fultz naysayers …what is Weltham gonna do …suspense lol

Haha yep ok … great description lol

Exactly …but the call was correct whether was an accident or not …dude was doing some serious nose bleeding

Yeah bruh I understand about JI lol …but I’m not gonna explain to every poster why he isn’t playing …was actually explaining it to you why we collapsed and the reason for aftermath of posters lol

Well and that’s why there have been 50 posts wanting an explanation for why JI didn’t play lol lol

Well we fought back after that swing …had chances …had the lead until the flagrant …was a 4 point swing …we never recovered to lead again

My takeaway from this game is that JI and Fultz are vitally important to the success of this team …knock on wood that they continue progressing from injury

I’m not the coach …but Cole is a vet …JI situation is getting better …Fultz is just coming back only played 10 games so I understand the injury maintenance …Caleb struggling big time not sure of Chuma

That flagrant was a big swing

Man that’s a big call against us

That’s gonna be a flagrant …nose is pouring blood

We are still in this game …let’s see if our franchise players can lift our team …

Yeah your prediction looks spot on at this point …unless we mount a comeback

Bruh …we are smoking hot from 3 tonight …14-28

It’s how fast we have collapsed that is stunning …you can blame whomever

Interesting that all the good that came out of the first half is gonna disappear if we blow this game and the big lead …minus only one player …JI

JI BABY ! LFG !!

Agree Phil …only a few more games until we know whether Weltham is gonna keep Fultz for the rest of the season …things can change again like if we suck tonight against Dallas …but I though it was unusually quiet after a win like last night …Suns came in rolling had all their big guns and writers predicting they were gonna destroy us …you guys that want Fultz gone better root harder he and we suck lol lol lol
