    I mean, I don't want a broken jaw, but I might rather get punched in the face than kicked in the balls. Tough call.

    Depends who's doing what and if I've completely given up on having kids. :D

    Prime Tyson in the jaw, or Janikowski in the jewels?

    How much does a Neuticle (fake nut) cost?

    Awful decision to have to make. Probably Jano and just go immediately to a prepped OR for a new ball.

    Can I freeze some swimmers beforehand? If so I take the nut shot because a Tyson punch could leave me with brain damage (or dead).

    Yesterday's workout sessions. Shows a very slim looking Larry Nance Jr. and Clarkson working on some rip-throughs, euro-steps, and Klay Thompson-esque fadeaways on drives.

    Lamar cameo too.

    I gotta say I was very pessimistic about magic taking over but everything I have seen and heard has swayed me back towards his side. I think I was blinded by all the useless tweets and broadcast chatter he had provided the last 2-3 years that I didn't think he could actually fit into this role. it is still verrrry early, but like the thread title says, I am full of optimism

    One thing I like is how hands on he has been. I know he said he was going to be there every day and it was going to be his full time job. And I did believe he was going to be there a lot. But never in my wildest dreams did I think he was going to be THIS involved and be out there seemingly every second. Hopefully it continues.

    :SadPau2: .... Magic's just another player development coach on Luke's roster and a reasonably good one. But props to Luke for the hire!
