    With the Hawks win last night, we play the Knicks on Sunday at home. We have a 7 game home stand through the end of the year, our next road game is on New Year’s Day. I’m on Paolo watch now with the amount of time we have at home to rest and get some practices in. I don’t expect him Sunday, but the next game on Thursday against OKC feels like a possibility.

    Also I think this was a lot of the good and bad of Wendell.

    He played some terrific defense, battled on the glass, had 5 assists, but it feels like at some point when Paolo arrived he was like "alright I guess I don't need to score now" and he's just never been as aggressive on that end again. I actually thought he might have a big game the way he started but the 3 point jumper seems to have abandoned him now (possibly due to the bad hand injury last year) and it also feels like he's less explosive around the rim than he used to be. Feel like when he first got here he used to get those OREBs and explode back up to finish, now it's a lot of pump fakes and hoping his shot doesn't get blocked or he just throws the ball out to the wing. 

    Yeah, Wendell has zero interest in the offensive side of the ball and it’s becoming a problem, especially in the 2 big lineups we’ve been running lately.

    Magic fans we just lost to a very good team without our top two players and our best defensive player as well. If Franz and Paolo are playing tonight we wipe the floor with them. It just goes to prove that we will be just fine moving forward until they both return to action. And when they do, we can beat anyone, anywhere, anytime. So now we can get some practice time in and focus on the real season while the NBA and all the other folks drool over the teams that remain in this overrated farce. Personally, I think they should do away with this thing. Or at the very least make some tweaks to it. I would start by eliminating that silly point differential deal. That causes teams to play their players for longer than usual and quite frankly it makes the tournament look ridiculous. No sour grapes. Just stating opinions. Probably a blessing that the Magic are out of it. Now it's time to focus on the real prize! So proud of these guys! Go Magic!

     

    To put it simply, I’d take what we have over what Milwaukee has right now… every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

    This is exactly what i was thinking. Gonna mostly not post until  after Christmas and Paolo comes back. 

    Stop accepting the last decade. Embrace change. Downvote me all you want but the best management did was ignore obvious bull**** and draft Paolo. Next best thing was lucking into Franz. Don't give into anything else, they owe us for a decade of misery. Now we shall see if all the other moves were **** or OK.

    Lot's of bad moves and tons of what ifs. I'm sorry but i still see them more lucky then not. This is giving them 1000% extra points for ignoring some obvious agent and NBA propaganda to get them NOT to draft Paolo.

    It's like my beloved Miami Dolphins never drafting a good offensive lineman. No more excuses.

     

    Lucking in to Franz is a very weird way to put it when he was seen as a reach by most scouts when we took him at 8 overall. We did luck into Jalen at 5

    When the first half was over, I said that if we play defense in the second half and get more out of Jalen, we would win the game. And wow did he deliver! And how about Goga?! Cole was big off the bench as well. Just a total team effort. Everyone was involved. This is why we can never give up on this team. They are resilient group.

    Also, role players always play better at home, and we’re getting to a very home heavy part of the schedule. We’re gonna win some games even with the stars out and it’s only gonna build confidence for the young guys that need it
