I deserve some type of refund for my League Pass subscription after having to watch this bullshit for the past week. Although I guess the Dallas game was on TNT so technically that game doesn’t count towards my refund lol

I think it’s harder as both need the ball a lot more than Precious or OG to be effective.

They also might need Mitch/iHart behind them to work defensively.

The truth is that they both came to help, not to lead this team. We should wait to see how they operate within a healthy roster before we judge them.

Mitchell would be crazy to join that Nets team

Also, in other news, Obi, RJ, and IQ are all having a good time playing against each other, although I’m deeply impressed that despite the decent box line RJ is minus 9 in a game they’re leading by 2.

Well, at least we’re not losing by over 50 points to the Celts…

Neither Burks nor Bogdanovic have convinced me so far.

What surprised me the most tonight was the kindergarten level defense. The effort was there, but the Knicks looked lost and disconnected defensively all night long. They didn’t look like a Thibs team. The Magic are not a top offensive team, yet they were easily picking the Knicks defense apart every trip down.

Our offense was ok when Brunson was on the floor, but when he sat in the second quarter everything fell apart and we never found a way to put together a few stops and make a comeback. It’s sad but it is what it is. Let’s hope for some health after the break, and that the new acquisitions will mesh with the team, the same way OG and Precious did. Neither Burks nor Bogdanovic have convinced me so far.

Jacob Toppin terrible, godawful play in meaningful minutes but had a couple nice garbage time plays.

Took too long to line up his 3 but hit it, had a nice baseline jumper off the dribble, and finished an alley-oop

I get the appeal but wow was it bad early. Hopefully jitters as it’s his first real minutes.

It’ll be nice to kick Orlando’s ass later in the season when everyone is healthy
