Nets @ Magic Game Thread 10/25 7PM ET - Game 2 Home Opener

Recommended Posts

2 and 0! We didn’t play great tonight on offense and still skated to an easy win. Love the KCP acquisition and huge shout out to AB, he looks like a different person out there compared to last season.

Solid win!! It’s been a while since i felt like we are the clearly best team and can easily get that W!! 

We are so deep y’all. In this game, it wasn’t over yet but coach could easily rest Suggs and KCP for the upcoming game. AB and Cole were great! 

It’s just a beauty to watch this teams defense. It’s so special to see. I don’t remember seen anything like this. You switch and you always end up in a tough matchup. You get rid of Suggs just to run into KCP.

AB has been most noticeable improvement so far. Looks really comfortable out there. Handle is better. Jumper looks good. 

If Franz keeps shooting it like this we can put all that worrying to bed.

I actually really liked what Cole brought this game. He was really tenacious on defense and hustling and if he keeps that up I'm happy with him in the rotation. 

Wendell has been awesome so far just playing hard on defense, hitting the glass, making smart passes. He's great. 

Love KCP already.

Was kind of a frustrating game, refs were weird, very physical, never felt like we got into a higher gear but still pulled it out comfortably in the end.

Also Franz Wagner will never get the credit his defense warrants. It's not anybody's fault, how often do people talk about a teams 4th best defensive player really? But Franz Wagner is incredibly important to our defense.

Everybody is actually good on defense.. If anything i’d say Mo Wagner is a weak link on defense. 

Paolo and Franz are both good defenders. I’ve been really impressed with Paolo. Coming out of college it was a weakness of him. He was often disengaged on defense and not only i had some really concerns. But he bought into the mentality that Mosley implemented in this team! 
Also huge respect from me. I often criticized him for the X and Os, but i really don’t think there is ANY coach in the NBA who could have created this kind of mentality, togetherness of this roster!

I’m very happy to see AB’s improvement so far. I think he really has a future with us. 
 

Franz has looked great as our second star. His jumper looks better than last year. 
 

KCP is so easy to root for because of his hustle and toughness. Both of him and Suggs are going to terrorize opposing backcourts.

Haven’t been able to watch these games due to internet still out after hurricane. Why exactly is Cole playing so much and has he improved at all? Imo, Jett should get his minutes or Tristan. 

Cole looks the same to me.  I think eventually he is the odd man out. 
 

AB looks really good so far. He has put in a lot of work this summer. Definitely not a wasted pick like some said.

Yeah I fully expect Jett to replace Cole in the 2nd unit before the All Star break. Cole looks the same to me offensively although his playmaking looks to have improved and also his defense looks better as well.

I've had connectivity issues these first two games. Is Black a potential starting point guard yet? Anyone think he overtakes Suggs there?

Two random fun facts:

  1. We are shooting 41.8 3-PT % to start the season, which is 5th in the league. 
  2. We are holding opponents to 99 PPG, which is 3rd in the league.

Go Magic!

I think he has the potential to start if not this year then next year. He is only 20 years old.  Maybe as KCP gets older he could start with Suggs? The Suggs KCP combo has been impressive defensively though and I would stick with it for a while.
