DeMarcus is pissed

Really like Tobias

DeMarcus is a thug in the worst possible way. He's a prime example of the type of player Henny is NOT trying to bring to O-town.

Didn't wanna jinks it but don't matter now. At the game and I am def liking Harris' game. Vuc is way too soft inside but they can work on that. Go magic!!

Anyone wanna take a stab at explaining to me why when were down 30 in the fourth with 8 minuites left Affalo is still in there hoisting up shots? Maybe let Lamb or Jones play?

One last thing before I sign off: Harris should be starting over Nicholson.

Agreed.

I don't want to overreact to 3 games, but I really like Harris. He's a nice piece.

 

Now we need a big who can defend.

No arguments here. Harris has more range, quickness, a better handle, and seemingly has the ability to match opposing 4's for strength. Backed down Patterson and Thompson multiple times. Obviously they're not the strongest at their position, but Harris has the ability to take the bigger, slower ones comfortably off the dribble. He's a nice, unique piece with a mature body and a good attitude. Really like him.

I was at the game too. It was just sad to see how terrible our defensive rotations were. The team is really lacking a veteran leadership and presence while on the court.

 

As stated, Vuc needs to learn interior defense. Unfortunately, he's not a bruiser, now can be jump to intimidate like Dwight did. His strengths are finnese and range on offense. Very much, he is like a Paul Gasol. I wonder if we were to get Noel we could match them together as an inside-out twin towers?

 

Also, Tobias has game. Only guy who was willing to drive and take contact. I loved seeing his hustle and attitude.

I think a few people can vouch for my desire to trade for Tobias Harris pretty much all season. I feel pretty good about that. Also the Magic suck - easily the worst game I've seen us play all season in terms of actual basketball playing.
