Randle
Brunson

Maybe not a Big Three, but starting to gel

Like how Julius deferred to Jalen in OT.  Outscored Bulls 11-3

GRIMES

Now that's how you close out

[facilitatorn]

I was screaming find Grimes. Finally Julius did.

Brunson with the nasty on Caruso to ice it.

That was much harder than it needed to be and much easier than it will be Friday.

Thibs

Thibs

He makes you cough?

[facilitatorn]

The play he drew up for the end of regulation made me throw up a little bit in my mouth.

[kiidcarter8]

Cool win.  Hated the last possession in regulation of course.  And a few others.  But whatever... Grimes came up big.

[elephant]

Grimes is just coming along.

We might really have something here.

As for that last play, I was thinking, You finally get a strong, gutsy point guard and you decide to just have Randle hold on to the ball?

Made no sense. One of those weird Thibs moments.  I mean, even if you wanted Randle to take the shot, give it to Brunson, run a play, and get it to Julius for a good look.

BTW, Kid, weren't you noting that Brunson has come up short a couple of times with the game on the line?

He didn't come up short last night.

He didn't come up short last night.

He was also bemoaning us passing on Bones Hyland to pick Quentin Grimes, not seeing what all of us dig in Grimes.

Then again, this is the Bishop who annointed Jordan Hill.for Sainthood. 

PS: Brunson is the Buster Keaton of point guards.

[lesterluv]

that last play, so sad, so bad...

reconfirms my unwavering conviction that 2 boneheads + 1 butthead =



not that I ever needed reconfirmation.

not gonna let that conviction sully my enjoyment of the present ride, however.

Bol Bol, Son of Manute Bol. 

Bounced around, trying to get healthy, with zero playing time behind Jokic in Denver; a failed physical in Detroit; a cup of coffee in Boston, before finally alighting in Orlando. 



The Magic appear to have hit PAYDIRT. 

Selected #44 by the Miami Heat in the 2019 R.J. Barrett. 

This 7'2" power forward can run the floor, handle the rock, put the ball on the floor, and score inside or outside.

In 27 minutes a night, he has hit 24-54 of his threes [.426%], 44-56 FTs [.786%], while shooting 128-196   for a .653 FG%. 

Paolo Banchero
Bol Bol
Wendell Carter
Mo Bamba
The Wagner Brothers, Franz & Mo
Jonathan Isaac [Healing]

That is a pretty formidable assemblage of skilled bigs. 

Wonder who Thibs would nail to the pine? 

Nevertheless, Magic have been dealing with injuries, and while 8-9 at home, are 1-11 on the road. 



PS: Hmmmm, think they would draft Victor Wembanyama if they end up with the #1 in the Draft Lottery? 

[elephant]

Interesting! And thanks, I had no idea that Bol Bol was in Orlando and doing well.

He is a human highlight film. 

Took a while to get fully healthy and thencefcorth to get meaningful minutes.
