LeBron James

Because you saw last night, Reed Shepard hit a couple of massive threes in the last two minutes, one with maybe 130 left and then the dagger that really put him over the edge to pull off the win.

I think it's good to see Yudoka trusting him in these big minutes.

Now, maybe part of that is because Jabari Smith went down with an ankle injury.

Doesn't look like it'll be too serious, but I think at least getting...

A couple of reps there is important because they need his outside shooting.

And he's just a natural ball mover as a point guard.

He pushes the pace.

So I think getting him in a playoff series, seeing what he can do is good.

But I just don't think they have enough offense and enough creativity in fourth quarters when it's really going to matter.

Yeah, it comes down to those last few minutes.

Doesn't seem like Emo Doka trusts Reed Shepard.

Threw him out in this one, but he really wants his guy, Fred VanVleet, to come back.

That's his...

That's his spirit on the floor for Amadou.

So it's difficult to see him trusting Reed Shepard, although he was huge in this particular game.

Now, I don't know if this particular game says more about the Orlando Magic falling apart and just leaving their ability to play half-court offense off the floor.

Or a little bit more about Reed Shepard.

Reed Shepard was the difference in this game.

They just need a playmaker at the end of games.

I said when Fred Van Vliet went out that they have no chance, and it feels the exact same way right now, unless there's a miracle with Reed, who they have trouble playing on the defensive end, too.
