Magic (6-5) at Celtics (7-3) Game #11 1/15/21

[Somebody]

Semi running the PnR to feed a cutting Javonte (his burst is something else) is something that I did not expect

[kraidstar]

Gordon's mediocre defense is disappointing to me.  A guy with his physical tools should be one of those rare defend-1-to-5 guys but he just doesn't have the instincts or the interest to be that kind of player.

Agree 100%

Gordon might not have a shooter's touch, but he could dominate in other ways. Instead he is largely invisible.

That dunk was crazy. It was so fast, I thought he completely whiffed it.

I said it when Gordon was the hot name on here, and I'll say it again:

People like the idea of Aaron Gordon, rather than the player Gordon actually is.

If he's smart he could find a very productive role as a Shaun Marion type player.

I must say Semi has played pretty well today

[Atzar]

Man, Javonte has burst.  Ross had him measured on that break... until Green accelerated and left him eating fumes.

He's playing solid this season.

[ozgod]

Good hustle and Javonte is rewarded with an and 1

Yeah. There is still room for him to develop, but as long as he plays beyond himself and dedicates so much energy to hero ball possessions,  he will struggle. Maybe he matures mentally and finds a place where he actually fits. Because imo right now he hurts his team.

[ozgod]

Let’s get the lead to 30 so we can get our bench warmers on

[Kuberski33]

Man does Orlando suck. 100 points allowed and we still have 10 minutes to go. What an embarrassment.

I think that's the thing though. His basketball IQ isn't very high, if his bad shot selection is an indication of anything.

That’s disrespectful to Shawn Marion lol.  I mean, he was a 4x All-Star

[Redz]

Pritchard is such a difference maker out there.  Really amazing to see what he’s brought to the table at such an early stage.
