Official Game Thread: Magic @ Bobcats

[adamy3553]

I realize that our 3 wins have come off of 3 horrible defensive teams, but I love how much we are cutting and slashing around the basket. It's leading to layups and wide open looks on kick outs. Last year, it seemed that most games we were a standing offense, so I'm encouraged by that. Hopefully against good defenses we'll move like this. I guess against OKC we were fluid, we just couldn't hit the shots.

This team is probably one of league-worst in D, sans Howard. How can it be that it is so easy scoring on us?

 

The Bobcats put up an Ortg of around 86. That's not "easy scoring." That's horrific.

 

I really don't know what you're talking about, but the team's defense was superb for the majority of the game. You happily live with Byron Mullens shooting contested 19 footers no matter how many of them he makes.

Wow. Dwight Howard is amazing. 24 rebounds in back to back games. Wow.

If we keep playing like this...Dwight is gunna look like a super douche for wanting to jump ship to a crappy jersey team so he can "win". Solid off the dribble penetration by JJ...great effort by Ryan on both ends of the floor. Just solid team game. Great to see, especially with jameer down

Big Baby needs to stop shooting the ball. He isn't a good jump shooter, he can be like Bass on offense at times except Bass knocked down his jumpers on a consistent basis. An ugly 3-12 night after a poor shooting performance last night too. With the way Ryan is playing, he may not end up with the role he thought he was going to get. I questioned SVG going with Ryan instead of Davis as the starter, but excellent decision there. Ryan finally has a comfortable role and is balling. He won't averaging 19 ppg all year, but he is getting his chance to make his mark now.

 

I love seeing it when we have a balanced scoring night, because that is the only way this team can really make noise. But we need to show we can have this balance attack against the elite teams, because it didn't work last year.

Davis can hit midrange jumpers well enough. He just tends to shoot way too many 19-20 footers, which he has no business ever doing.

[Jay Magic]

if dwight could hit some more free throws he would be a very very very dangerous man!

 

i know its early days but his free throws do look worse in my opinion.....

 

apart from that he is playing great right now.

Fair enough, those 18+ foot jumpers he takes make me cringe. He's trying to assert himself too much IMO.
