Pels @ Magic 12/22

Wow Boogie

Got damn

Could we give Jrue like 13% of Boogies confidence?

This month he basically has

Aggressive Jrue is by far the best Jrue

Jrue has 20.

Just horrid free throw shooting

Jrue has really come into his own. He started the year very slow but he's been hot for a while now.

the Pels take an ungodly number of step back threes with nobody under to rebound

Biyombo might actually be a worse offensive player than Asik

LOL

Shoutout to Elfrid's hair for partially blocking those free throws

Jrue's hot. Hot hot hot.

Payton has to shoot through his hair, what a dumbass

It's fashion man. Ever since The Weeknd popularised having a huge clump of random hair, this is the wave. And think of all the money Payton must save on caps!

It literally affects his shot. I have no words

He needs the hair to limit his shot. It's like a power limiter. He'd be Curry without it. Powers we could never believe.

I don't know why Boogie didn't shoot that being right on the block, but is was a sweet pass out of the post to my man Jameer

The Orlando Tragic

So is this good defense today or just inept Orlando offense?

amazing how all of a sudden teh Pels look like beasts when they finally get to run into a lottery team waiting to be beasted

Both. We've played pretty solid rotations, had some good contests, Jrue as always has been a stalwart. But it doesn't look like it matters, they just suck.

Almost like we're a better team that our record would suggest, and we've just had a brutal schedule so far. Weird, that.

I don't get how he thinks it's a good thing to have a big creature on his head thing interfering with his shooting motion.

I have no sympathy. We've had as many players out as is possible so far this season, so I don't care. Sucks to be them, I guess.

garbagetime for the Pels. finally!

I have one gif for how I feel this game is going right now

If I were the team I would give him an ultimatum. Hair out of eyes or too immature to be part of the team's future

Meanwhile, Miami is in a dogfight with Dallas and almost certainly won't have time to rest anyone.

Cooke's in!

Seriously. Saints have a worse case tho with thankfully better depth

Diallo on a poster

If only we could play this Magic team every game

Hezonja has bags of talent. Dell needs to go git

Jrue Jrue Jrue

Jrue has shot 50% or better from three for five straight games.

Winning pretty is a lovely feeling

Man why the hell the T Wolves keep playing all these lotto teams? Like how the hell is their schedule so easy? That team is fools gold!

League gotta make their fools gold look as good as possible before all-star break. KAT is a media darling, NBA has been trying to manufacture him into superstardom since he got into the league, gotta try and make him look great for all-star votes.

Could you just imagine if we had Jimmy Butler instead? Or Wiggins, even?

It makes me sad...

I'm not sure how you would have planned to acquire either.

Anyway, looks like Miami rested about 8 guys v Dallas.

Anyone know why and whose back for them tomorrow?

Dragic has an elbow injury, hasn't played for a while, predicted to be out for us tomorrow. Whiteside has a knee injury, hasn't played in a while, not sure if he'll be back. James Johnson has ankle bursitis, has been out for a while, almost certainly won't play tomorrow. Not sure about anyone else.

I think they had the 6th easiest schedule in the league so far, by strength of schedule.

I'm glad we had a comfortable win tonight. Let's end the calendar year on a high note and beat Miami tomorrow, then focus on Brooklyn, Dallas, then New York. Those are all winnable.
