The Magic have an excellent defensive team and also play at a slow pace. That keeps them in most games. Tonight they were focused on taking away the 3 because that’s one of our strengths. They did a good job of that. But we have so much talent in mid range and getting to the rim and also took advantage of TOs. They just couldn’t stay with us. When they get healthy and the offense is better they aren’t going to be an easy out.

I know the data says coaches don’t make much difference, but I’m not sure I agree anymore. Ty Lue, Spoelstra, Atkinson, Jahmahl Mosley, Udoka, Thibs, Taylor Jenkins all seem to have a real impact.

Has anyone else noticed that at age 31 Norman Powell seems like a early season fave for most improved? He’s putting up legit superstar numbers!

And the Clips are pretty freaking good even without Kawhi.

Denver’s coach Michael Malone, who has a history with the Kings, scorched them for the Brown’s firing.

“They let him have a practice this morning, then called him on the phone while he was going to the airport and told him he was fired.
No class, no balls”.

This was another game where Mikal seemed to play some pretty good defense.

The classic Mikal defensive play is where he’s guarding the ballhandler, and is able to move his feet and stay between the defender and the basket whilst also holding up his long ass arm straight in the air as an additional deterrent. When he gets that mojo going, he looks good on defense.

3pt luck helps bad teams stay competitive and get some unexpected wins but the good teams don’t need to rely solely on 3pt luck and the Knicks are a very, very, very good team.
