SL Game Thread Magic at Celtics Game 5 7/12

[danglertx]

Its a layup drill.  Magic don't seem to be into it at all.

[TA9]

Nice pass from Pressey! This guy has a legit shot at making our roster this year!

[TheGreenMonster]

KO just toying with them 

[steefp2]

Score?

40-18

Dang. Is even anyone from the magic playing? Hows oly and nicholson

Oly not playing and Nicholson doesn't get to touch the ball when he's in.

Sorry i meant the other oly. Oliadipo.

Watch magic comeback. Olynyk sits then teams comeback

Yeah i got that and Oliadipo isn't playing.

You think Rondo is going to like how Olynyk finds cutting lanes for easy shots, I know I do.

[TA9]

Pressey is going to be good if he is given the chance on some roster! Great passer and dribbler!

I really hope he makes the team. We need, need a backup PG and have for years. He's the truest PG we've had as a backup.

I feel that way too. I just hope that he doesnt end up being this year´s "Dionte Christmas". Dominating in the Summer League and then getting cut at the end of training camp.
We should definitely sign him, its been a while since we had a legit backup pg.

They need to rein him in a little bit on some of the drives.  He can get out of control.  But I think it's a lot easier to slow a guy down than to speed a guy up.  Looking forward to watching him.

Anything can happen but if phil pressey the new pp just sticks to passing and defense alone he makes it into the nba as a supercharged earl watson.

If he limits his turnovers and can shoot at 43-45 fg per, he could prob b a starter in the nba. His man to man defense is better than rondo and on the same plane as ab. Tenacious

[aingeforthree]

Another consistent Klinic by KO in the first half.

11 minutes

5-8 fg

10 points

4 rebounds

[Tr1boy]

I think oly is prob done for the game.

[JJones1090]

God I hate that this is on all the time while I'm stuck at work...

While i agree he plays the same brand as defense as Bradley, it's not better than Rondo's and will probably never be. First of all, we can't forget he's playing against summer league guys for the most part and secondly, this is the NBA so size does count. He's gonna play his heart out on D and he's gonna do a nice job but his small stature will always be a detriment.

[aingeforthree]

I think oly is prob done for the game.

Let him grab his 20 & 8, 60% from the field, & take his MVP trophy & go

[aingeforthree]

Nice hook Fab!

[TA9]

Was that Melo finally making a hook shot and not airballing one
