One of the underrated things about COVID-19 is that it has the potential to turn season-ending injuries into non-season-ending injuries. A miracle of modern medicine! You thought Kevin Durant was done? Faugh! With so many extra months to rehab, there’d be no way he wouldn’t want to return and lead the Nets to… Actually since…

Forget the Andrei Kirilenko comparisons for Jonathan Isaac. We’re going in a different, but still somewhat similar direction with a new comparison: Josh Smith! Everyone likes to make fun of Smith for bricking his way out of the league with inadvisable jumpers, but he was a really legit stat-stuffer for a lot of years with…

I think it’s really nice how Jonathan Isaac wants to be a jack-of-all-trades kind of player. It’s just super great that he’d rather be good at all things on the basketball court rather than focus on one or two. Really, really awesome. So great. I do have some advice for young Mr. Isaac, though: don’t…

The Magic, thanks in large part to Jonathan Isaac, are one of the very few teams who have a defensive identity. Which SUCKS. Back in the old days, a decade ago or more, there were plenty of teams who hung their hat on their defensive ability. And it sucked. Those days sucked and are not…

It seems like whenever your hear a report from Woj that so-and-so “is off the table in trade talks”, it’s some totally average player who there’s no reason to get too attached to. Someone like Jayson Tatum or Josh Richardson. Good players, but that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t absolutely be traded if the right…

I feel like I was talking about a similar situation just yesterday, but why is Jonathan Isaac out there padding his stats in the last few minutes of a blowout? Isaac isn’t, you know, a superstar or anything, but end-of-garbage time is definitely not for players like him. Maybe last year, but not anymore. Garbage…

Wow, I totally missed this insane performance by Jonathan Isaac. Sorry for the delay, it’s just that his point total was so low (although pretty decent for him) that I skimmed over it while looking for vids to make. Eventually I noticed the 6 blocks, and then I noticed all the other stuff, and why…

The path to a new career-high for a marginal offensive talent like Jonathan Isaac is surprisingly clear: shoot a bunch of threes, like really a whole bunch of them, and have a good amount of them go in. BOOM. Career high! That’s really all there is to it. Attention marginal offensive talents of the league:…

Jonathan Isaac has been tormenting me all season with games where he scores decently well, but doesn’t really break out and have a standout scoring performance. I think I’ve harped on this point before (because I chronically run out of description material by the end of the season), but he only has one twenty-point game…

This contest between the Orlando Magic and the Miami Heat had playoff IMPLICATIONS. The result of this game would IMPLY which of the teams would be more likely to make the playoffs. IMPLICITLY. This Magic team is unseasoned when it comes to games of this magnitude; the only guy on their roster who has ever…
