Franchero MVP Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Josh Robbins ✔ @JoshuaBRobbins Elfrid Payton said his hamstring has felt better for 3 consecutive days. He seems optimistic the injury has turned a corner. Quote
Fultz4thewin Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Posted October 26, 2015 i wouldnt be surprised if Payton was held to something like 18 minutes his first game back. Quote
Fultz4thewin Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Posted October 26, 2015 FYI I'm working on getting Dan to fix the chat room. In the future, if something is broken please let me know. Quote
TheNameIsOrlando Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Echo echo....It's too quiet and I'm too excited for the season to start! Hurry up Wednesday!! Quote
Mauro Pedrosa Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Danny Granger waived. Reminds me of a Jalen & Jacoby podcast from a couple of years ago (?) when Jalen said that Granger looked done with basketball Quote
Fultz4thewin Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Posted October 26, 2015 So... Nothing to talk about Quote
Franchero MVP Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 So... Nothing to talk about I'm sure we will have plenty to complain about after the season opener :) Quote
A Random Stranger Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Right now we are in that weird lull between the regular season and the pre-season. I mean we could discuss to death the outcome of the season, but the season opener will be a good measuring stick of where this team is heading, which is probably what the majority of people on the forums are waiting for. Those of us who are deeply interested in seeing how far we have really progressed as NBA.com seems to think we are the 28th team in the NBA, are going to be watching this game, and evaluating. Probably giving some form of discussion to talk about how we are fairing. Right now all I can do is preach what I have preached during pre-season. I think Shabazz is legit and for what we got him for, it is almost laughable to think he will use that to propel himself forward this season. Probably even snagging the back-up role from Watson. Payton has to improve and has to stay healthy. He needs to be agressive and I just don't know if he can do that. Oladipo needs to be efficient and literally nothing else, he already fills the stat sheet. Harris needs to keep doing what he did in pre-season, Nick too. Our forward position is going to be interesting this year as I don't know who our official two starting forwards are. I want to say Gordon is a legitimate starter this year and will surprise the league, but the small sample size is an issue. He looked good in that sample size though. Quote
Voodoo Man Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Took the plunge and upgraded to a 60" 4K television. I know there is not a lot of true 4K viewing yet, but it upgrades 1080 to a level that is very close to 4K. Watched football on it yesterday, and it was amazing. Looking forward to this coming Magic season more now than ever. Turn off the living room lights, sit five feet away from the screen, turn on the surround sound, and I will be sitting in high dollar seats at Amway watching a team that I think is going to play above all expectations. Go Magic! Quote
Mack1085 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Posted October 27, 2015 Right now we are in that weird lull between the regular season and the pre-season. I mean we could discuss to death the outcome of the season, but the season opener will be a good measuring stick of where this team is heading, which is probably what the majority of people on the forums are waiting for. The first game will give us plenty of fodder but I don't know how good of a measuring stick the first game is. For one, it's one game. Two, it's the first game. Three, if Payton plays it'll be the first time our starting PG plays with the rest of the guys in weeks. And four, they are clearly still working on Skiles system. I expect us to be a much better team a couple months into the season than we'll be in game 1. I think the thing that worries me the most this preseason and will be something to keep an eye on early in the season is the FT discrepancy. If that carries into the regular season we will be out of the playoff hunt by the All-Star break. Quote

A Better DJ & Photographer Posted October 27, 2015 Report Posted October 27, 2015 Amazing highlight reels! If he can continue to improve his 3 pt and FT % and stay aggressive at the same time he is going to be a monster to guard! Quote
