Catalina Maria 64 Report post Posted November 26, 2015 I think there are probably reservations, I had them myself, where we hope / know if his playing time resembled a light on version of all the great sixth men guards that it would be a thing to behold. But you also worry about a guy with such a big personality getting benched and just dropping the bundle entirely. Course I'd love the guy to succeed no matter what he did. But when you like someone as much as we all do with him it's hard to be rational and figure it will just be okay lol. Some of my favorite Magic players over the years were sixth men and that's ok: Armstrong, Redick, Gortat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catalina Maria 64 Report post Posted November 26, 2015 Game over. Magic controlled this one about the entire time. Nice win. The team defense was good even with Frye in the starting lineup. Skiles adjusted and Dipo thrived tonight. Vuc needed a big game and I'm glad he did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Catalina Maria 64 Report post Posted November 26, 2015 Tonight is also indicative of what it should be: 1-2-3 punch of Dipo-Vuc-Harris showed up tonight. Adjustments like this shows us the coaching staff perhaps made slight but positive adjustments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, for game 1 this worked. And it was against a lineup that some thought would abuse Frye. The interesting thing was that Harris played pretty solid defense against Carmelo.Melo made some really difficult shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted November 26, 2015 I mean a win is good but everybody played pretty similar to any of the early games. We hit 39.5% of our shots. The main difference was Oladipo doing a better job of absorbing contact. So instead of going 6-20, he went 5-15 with 15 fta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catalina Maria 64 Report post Posted November 26, 2015 39% FG and we win convincingly. Regardless, I'm happy with Payton's numbers. He's back. I believe Payton will remain to be our team's Rajon Rondo. I also believe Harris will end up being like our Scottie Pippen. He had another complete game and will, in time, prove to be our go-to guy I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dipo will crush the second units of all the other teams and will attract attention. We want Durant yes???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
