At first I was like I can’t read this shit man lol

But then I figured it out

Anthony black has been the biggest disappointment to me

Duren I knew wasn’t all that and only Canadians gas him up like he’s a force in the postseason

Same, it took me a minute to understand how to read this graph but then it was easy lol


Yeah I expected both Black and Jenkins to be better

I knew Duren wasn't like that but I thought we he would be better than what he's been

He better on himself, earned a bunch of money in the regular season and then lost it in the playoffs

Because one would think the Magic are going to go back home and play great to lead this series it’ll probably be pistons blowing them out lol

3 games in, how do you feel about Paolo upping his efficiency in the playoffs as he always does? Do you feel any better about him?

Currently 20.7 PER 27.6 usage....which is the best he's ever been playoffs or regular season

Last playoffs(5 games) he was 20.3 per on 36.4 usage

For reference his very first playoff run he was at 18.9 PER 33.9 usage


So compared to last season the usage has come down tremendously obviously with the addition of Bane and a healthy Franz....seeing the efficiency still go up with less usage is encouraging and this against a really good defense

Again this is just 3 games in so we'll see how things look in this crucial game 4 at home and see how he performs

Paolo good with me right now

If he stinks it up like the next 2 games to lose the series then I’ll be back on him but right now he got some goodwill with me

Ill say this as well....I understand the stature and expectations that come with being the number 1 pick but if people want to say Franz is better than they need to have the same smoke for him and how he actually gets worse in the playoffs which is the case right now

Franz has the potential to be better if he could learn how to shoot
 
Oh for the first time this series I just realized I haven’t seen Jonathan Isaac lol

They must be getting him ready for hooping in Greece
