This game really does need more Dudley.

Looks like the boys quit out there and are now down by 7.

Now that was some great defense.

I didn't realize how athletic Super Mario is. He's starting to come into his own this year.

Bender with the airball.

Close loss is what we want, right? Looks like we’re on our way.

There it is. Feels kinda dirty to be cheering for the loss but fuck it we need the best odds we can get.

Entertaining game. Good to see Ulis playing well. Jackson didn't shoot the ball particularly well, but I love his game.

Memphis has coughed up their early lead too.

We've seen what Daniels can and can't do. I'm all for playing Reed these last eight games in order to gauge what he's capable of.

I'm good with that. Although Reed doesn't look like he did this summer.The Bobster wrote:We've seen what Daniels can and can't do. I'm all for playing Reed these last eight games in order to gauge what he's capable of.

The good:
- Len had a nice game.
- Ulis put up a good stat line.
- Close, entertaining loss to another lottery team = ping-pong balls.
The bad:
- Almost everybody's FG%. As a team, we are just really bad at shooting.
- Bender. Oof. Total non-factor. I am as bullish on the guy as anybody, but he has a lot of games like this where he just gives us almost nothing. It's tough.
- Aaron Gordon had a huge game, which means that McDo probably got excited and will now want to bring him here and max him out.
I bet Magic fans watched this game from Elfrid Payton and said, "Yeah, that's about right. He does some good things, but we don't miss him. Enjoy!"

Reed was injured most of the season. After he got his best game he got several dnps. I would be nice to give him extended run to see if he worth keeping a spot for. His D looked decent in spots tonight. Him and Harrison might be a nice combo if they can develop some offenceIn2ition wrote:I'm good with that.

No we don't. Ayton may not even be the best player from this draft.EDC wrote:There it is. Feels kinda dirty to be cheering for the loss but f*** it we need the best odds we can get.

It will probably be some guy we pass on who goes like 9th and then everyone will get mad because McD somehow missed on the next great star. That is how it goes for this franchise.INFORMER wrote:No we don't. Ayton may not even be the best player from this draft.EDC wrote:There it is.
