The Magic defense is too good
I have to admire the ability of Magic coach Moseley, the Magic team has so much talent, but they did not squander it on the offensive end because the talent is too good, on the contrary, their offense is very disciplined, and the young team has no problem with bad defense, they don't have it at all, on the contrary, the team's defense is still very good, and they can reach the top five in the East this season because of their excellent defensive ability.
Banchero shot 5 of 17 from the field, 0 of 6 from three-point range and got 15 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Wagner Jr. got 14 points and 5 rebounds on 6 of 13 shots, Anthony got 26 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists off the bench, Isaac got 9 points and 4 rebounds, and Isaac has begun to cash in on his talent recently, which is good news for the Magic, and I hope Fultz can gradually play his due performance like Isaac.
Even if the Magic team makes the playoffs this season, they can't go far, because the problems of this team are obvious, although their defense is strong enough, but this team has no real shooters, the team's offensive space is very small, and they can rely on fast breaks and counterattacks in the regular season, but in the playoffs, everyone plays positions, and they are targeted by shrink defense, so the offensive end will be very struggling.
Dream chasing began to behave again
In this game, Wiggins continued the past few games, and it can be seen that he is still in shape, which is good news for the Warriors, he got 23 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block on 8-of-17 shooting in this game, Klay also played well, 6 of 13 shots, 3 of 8 three-pointers got 15 points and 2 assists, Curry was not in good shape, and got 17 points, 4 rebounds and 10 attacks on 6-of-18 shooting。
From the last game against the Heat, it can be seen that Green's old problems have begun to make mistakes again, his actions are very big, in the first quarter of this game, he was dissatisfied with the referee because he couldn't control his emotions, and he was directly expelled as a result, and he was even banned by the league because of these problems, and it seems that the ban just made him remember that time, and now that the rumors have passed, Dream Chasing has begun to be himself again, if he keeps doing this, it is estimated that it will affect the future of the Warriors this season,
Dream Chaser left the court after only 3 minutes in this game, but other role players stepped up, Davis scored 8 points, 14 rebounds and 2 assists, Podemski got 6 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist, Moody scored 12 points and 3 assists, Payton scored 10 points, 1 rebound, 3 steals and 1 block, Payton's defense and impact are still very good, Kerr should give him more time, he can give the team a lot of help. The ejection of Dream in this game has activated the whole team, and perhaps the Warriors are not so dependent on him.
Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current warriors?
