Preseason Game #2: Hawks vs Magic

[NBASupes]

Len and Collins gave us nothing tonight.

This was not JC's finest hour. But team defense was better tonight.

[NBASupes]

Our defense looked good tonight but too many turnovers, far too many missed open threes and too much preseason chemistry issues. Lastly, noo much Issac

I thought Charlie Brown was supposed to be a sniper from deep? lol

I thought his shot looked good. He did take too many contested 3s. We left a lot of points on the floor tonight.

Plus Red Velvet didn’t even play. Collins shouldn’t have. So nothing from 3 of our 5 opening night starters. And we’re still in the game.

The rookies played good. All of them. Trae other than the TOs was great. Orlando got a lot from Issac and Ross in limited mins. Those two balled out tonight.

My boy FerNAAAANdo was a 2nd round steal

I hope hes the starter by midseason..He looked so much more comfortable out there tonight. Will only get better from here..Not a knock on Len, but we need some kind of resistance at the rim. lol

Bruno is coming for that starting center spot by mid season. If he starts hitting 3's watchout..lol

From a skill standpoint, he's already the most talented center on both sides of the ball.  He'll get the opportunity to jack up about 60 threes, and make about 20 of them.  The guards simply have to reward a big man like that with touches on the offensive end.

Remember: he hasn’t been playing basketball all that long and has a reputation as a VERY hard worker and VERY quick learner.

Shot was off, but that's to be expected at times. I'd atleast wait until he's off minute restriction to form judgement. He only played 14 minutes tonight
