Terrence Ross didn’t have a great debut for the Magic. I don’t want to say I panicked, but… I panicked. Hard. I was pretty much yelling at my TV, telling it that Masai Ujiri pulled off another unbelievable trade and Ross was broken forever and that Dwight Howard was never coming back, no, not ever. Can you blame me? Ross shot a ton of shots, a ton of BAD shots, and the Magic lost. I’m sure Orlando fans were doing that same thing I was, except with a lot more sadness mixed in with their incredulity.
Well, everything’s better now. T-Ross just scored 24 on nothing but jumpers. Again, he didn’t display the greatest shot selection, but the Magic didn’t bring him into be conservative on offense. They need shooting, so he shoots. That’s all there is to it. By the end of this vid he’s having a little fun, taking midrange pull-ups that he probably wouldn’t if the game was closer or if there was someone else on the court who could score.
That must be a nice feeling for him. Being the best offensive player on an NBA court. Did that happen in Toronto? I can’t remember. Maybe, but it’s definitely happening now.
