Hands down the best basketball show out there.

We are winning must win games which is encouraging. Good to see Cous step up with half our roster in the morgue. Nelson looks like a decent pick up

Yep, he had two 39-24 and 39-23 games previously, but this is the first time lining up 40-20.

All part of the plan.
No way he gets those numbers if Davis plays.
Coincidence that Davis misses the return game?

What a come back. DC was a beast. Nelson and Jrue played great. Maybe Jrue could be better as SG than PG but then why it has been tried before? I thought Moore had a good game too despite a few turnovers.

Good come back Win!
Pelicans staying on coarse for 3 Wins in October !!

Man, I can't tell you how elated I am about having a legit #1 to run the Second Unit when Rondo returns. Nelson,Moore,Clark& Allen is Nice of the bench. NICE shooters, as long as Tony sticks to lay-ups & defense. lol. Nelson is perfect for this team. Pass 1st first PG, but he has a sweet jump shot!

When Rondo gets back do you want to run him with the 1s or 2s? If Nelson has chemistry with the 1st unit by then, then you keep him running the show.

Went to bed and woke up to a win. Def didn't think that was happening.

The Magic have started out gang busters this season.
Good eye to notice that. The month of November is when the Rubber meets the Road for this ball club.

We need to see Jrue confident. That's always been his biggest issue. He lacks confidence on the court sometimes. You can tell he is frustrated, but if and once he gets confidence we are gonna improve.

It hasn't been tried before because we had no other options. Jrue isn't a good facilitator but he was the best option that we had in the past. He's so much better when he doesn't have the burden of having to control the pace. That's why having guys like Jameer and Rondo are so important because they know what they're doing when it comes to facilitating.

I missed the game. Glad they rallied and won short handed.

But...this Gentry quote worries me. It worries me a lot. It also explains a lot of the wasted possessions and stupidity on offense. Especially when we see AD and Cousins with highly favorable matchups that get ignored.

Oh boy.
