was 4pm for me, amazing how quickly i forget about the time difference

i had to do a job interview online with a girl from Atlanta, the 12 hour time difference meant i had to do it 1030pm on a Friday night. I was hanging for a drink once that was done.

Brandon Miller currently outscoring Orlando by himself with 90 seconds left in the first quarter.

Mann just took his shot at dunk of the year, shame he couldn't finish it.

At this point I don't even care for the #1 pick. It's so tough to figure out the best prospects maybe picking 4th or 5th is the best thing for us.

Also I hate I always miss the best Brandon Miller games. Dude only missed 1 shot last time I checked the box score.

The Magic defended Miller aggressively from the 2nd quarter on which held him in check. It was good to see him not force it and make the right basketball play when the doubles came.

He also had long stretches where teammates just weren't looking his way.

Still a great game in any case. It would have been cool to see the rookie get 40+ but I'll take the W.

Lol I wanted a silver dollar tonight. I wouldn't have cared if he forced it.

Edit: half dollar. Whatever. I'm stupid.

It's wild this kid is getting doubled a lot during his rookie season.

We have a special one folks! 8-)

Credit where credit is due: Miller carried the team tonight. He got some timely help, but he got it done.
