  1. Despite the L, I was mostly encouraged by what I saw! This was a close game wire to wire, and everybody looked much more in sync on both ends. I see a lot of potential in this group!

  2. ANOTHER ONE FOR THIS SORRY ASS COACH SPOLSCRAP. TAKING OUT THE ITALIAN PLAYER WHEN HE WAS MAKING A DIFFERENCE AND BRINGING IN DUMBASS WIGGINS.
    LEAVING ADEBAYO 6'-9" TO FIGHT AT LEAST 3 PLAYERS EQUAL TO BIGGER THAN HIM.
    PIECE OF CRAP COACH!!!

  3. I really like our improved offense. Those offensive boards by the Magic were killers. We gotta find a way to be better at that, too. Looks promising though and I hope Ware gets back to 100% so he finishes these type of game for us next to Bam. On to the next one
