[Franchero MVP 391]

We go down big time in the first quarter than seemingly come back and make it a competitive game.

[TheNameIsOrlando 310]

Nice effort on the first game thread! Im pumped! Even if we lose Im just happy to have Magic basketball back!!!!!

[Jay Magic 1,247]

Dunno if i am over confident but i feel we are on par with the Wizards.

 

I think we can win this game for sure if we play the right way.

John Wall is pretty good and Beal can shoot but seriously what else does Washington have that makes you think they're that much better than the Magic? I just don't see it. You may call me a homer but I think we got this.

Certainly

Agreed

I'm still under the impression that Oladipo > Beal

[Secretly Space Jesus 670]

I'm still under the impression that Oladipo > Beal

 

Wait, are there people who think Beal is better than Oladipo? Besides Wizards homers, I mean.

 

He shoots the 3 better, but that's pretty much it.

I think there's a general impression nationally that Beal is better because he's been in more high profile games

[Fultz4thewin 2,464]

Yeah I checked. Espn nba rank had Oladipo at 58 and Beal at 36.

[Secretly Space Jesus 670]

That's crazy to me.

[Fultz4thewin 2,464]

That's crazy to me.

 

I bet it's due to that playoff series against the Hawks where he played 42 minutes per game and averaged 25/5/5.

 

2 of his top 5 and 3 of his top 9 highest scoring games of his career occurred in that series. People look at it like that's who he is because they dont generally watch other Wizards games.
