Excellent.

And he's a gargantuan offensive improvement.

over KCP last year.

Now, defensively, not an improvement, but in terms of toughness, intensity, he's superb.

And offensively, last night, he was flat out great.

No, I don't think that that's enough.

It's necessary.

They've got to have it.

They've got to have it.

They are, at their essence, an excellent defensive team when they're at their best.

But you've got to hit shots.

Come playoff time.

Unless you're playing against a subpar offensive team yourself.

pull out this win Donovan wasn't his best tonight although Noah Penda by the way really opened my eyes I thought in the minutes that he guarded Mitchell I thought he was excellent very impressive but no Cleveland they're going to dare you to make shots in a playoff series any of these teams that they're going to face just like last year with Boston they're going to dare the magic to beat them with threes

And that's fundamentally Orlando has got to be able to hit some shots.

Yeah.

Which makes it sound much too basic, and I am.

But that's really what the series two years ago came down to.

having said all this, you know, there is one X factor and it's not just Franz Franz is an X factor now, but it's Jalen sucks.

The ultimate X factor for them.
