Fwiw, Watson is out for the series.

Charlotte looking a step slow early. Orlando getting whatever they want at the rim

Are we sure that last game didn’t matter tbh?

people here are saying it didnt matter?

 

[bozhemoi]

If I'm Charlotte, I try to get the ball into Banchero's hands as much as possible. Maybe he beats you, likely he does not.

 

[bozhemoi]

Ok well Charlotte didn't even show up.

 

[BatManu20]

Orlando normally struggles mightily to score the ball but they can't miss to start the game. Even Banchero's sorry ass is making everything. Magic up 17 already in the First.

 

[210XSpurs]

This is the Orlando team I’ve been expecting to see all year. Definitely too late this year.

 

[Correct Crusader]

This is smoke. Orlando will go cold and Charlotte will wake up.

Sion James a good example of the kind of useful players available in Round 2 every year. Looking forward to see what we do with that Utah pick this year.

 

[spursistan]

Kon has hit the rookie wall in way neither Harper nor Castle has remotely came close to do.

 

[Correct Crusader]

I am curious to see how long the refs allow Orlando to play like this.

 

[bozhemoi]

The first four play-in games were phenomenal. This one looks like a stinker. The second one might be as bad tonight.

The worst games so far have both involved Orlando... I don't think it's a coincidence.

 

[Correct Crusader]

Fourth illegal screen call.... they're not letting them play.

 

[BatManu20]

ORL getting some serious home-cooking so far tbh. 4 moving screens called on CHA in 12 minutes while the Magic foul the hell out of them on the other end with no whistle lol.

 

[STAT88]

Better to go down big early I guess.

Plenty of time for Hornets to get back into this.

 

[Correct Crusader]

ORL getting some insane home-cooking so far tbh. 4 moving screens called on CHA in 12 minutes while the Magic foul the hell out of them on the other end with no whistle lol.

Agree 100%. It's egregious.

 

[wEmBoY]

Lamelo shitting the bed

Gonna get a lot of cash considerations tbh.

 

[Robz4000]

Also, Charlotte. Orlando is more than capable of blowing this lead though.

 

[Uriel]

SVG sounds like a Magic fan, honestly lol.

Maybe the league decided to suspend Lamelo in a different way

I hope the next game will be more interesting, tbh.

Game will get interesting here once the Hornets start rage-quitting tbh.
