FOURTH SEED.
Great Ball movement, great use of the shot clock, that was a fun win to watch!
Bro if we can play this well with Paolo who can stop us?!?
4-4 over the last 8!
1-0 with Vince calling games. 2-0 without Paolo šš (jk). Good game from everybody, including the coaching staff. We need to lock down Bol long term as soon as heās eligible.
I love this team.
Man think this season would be so different with our healthy players
4th Seed
Are the Magic better without Paolo Banchero? MY COLUMN
Also, 4-0 when we win the 3rd quarter. Is this anything?
Alright seriously we are ready. Bring back our reinforcements.
Absolute floor of this team is play-ins and if we dont get there its cause we tanked
LOVED Vince Carte tonight
A complete team win. No weak links tonight, every single player played well. Defense was on point, need to keep that effort up each game.
Weāre paying WCJ like $12 million š. Absolute steal
Knowing us, we’ll somehow lose to Charlotte and blowout Minnesota and Chicago.
Chuma with a second straight defensive masterclass on a superstar. He’s our Superstar Stopper.
Love the way we compete but we definitely got an assist from the weather for these last two wins lol
FiRe coAcH mOsLey
Hey Bol
I love you
Tank is back off the menu boys!!!
I lost all of my fake Reddit money betting against the Magic tonight.
Please forgive me. š
Chuma locking down the opposing teams best player has made a huge impact. It will save Franz and Paolo on the other end
We really beat Phoenix and Dallas without Paolo.
This team is weird lmao. But Iām all for it.
Loved the team defense and minimizing the turnovers. Good team win! Suggs looked like a starter this game too..
Once Paolo and Franz get more comfortable playing together, the league is fucked. Both of these them demand so much attention on the offensive end, our healthy starting five is gonna be a problem for everyone
Our defensive effort has improved tremendously, and the wins are coming because of that, we’re a genuinely good offensive team
Honestly everytime you think Orlando is going to be down and out they pull a win out of their ass and surprise everyone
Maybe we need to doubt them more
Proud of this team. They are really starting to play well after the slow start.
We absolutely need to play Mo minutes, this is clear as day. Mo is the best center on this team, he is a stabilizer, once Mo is on the court the game gets on track, everybody knows their roles, and Mo plays within the team pace and carries.
This is very important for the team to have a rock that they understand and is consistent, Mo is the offensive engine and the reliable defender, he is not singled out by the opponent like others, but in fact is a huge deterrent. Mo is a superstar, he needs 30 mins every night. Once Mo is played more than 15 mins this team wins, its not a coincidence, its a clear fact that Mo is the best synergistic piece for Suggs, Paolo, and Franz. Also Dell/Mo was a legitimate combo, and its better than most big combos in the league.
I really hope these recent games with Mo gaining minutes show that Mo is a vital part of the team to some of yall. Mo is also not “lazy” his game is also expanding, his post moves, his dribble package, his float game, his athleticism, and he is a switchable defender taking on Guards, Forwards and Bigs anywhere on the court. Mo is an important piece of this team, and the team knows it. Look at how anytime Mo is on the court the offense flows through him. The other team also doubles Mo many times, or during the picks they all collapse on the rolls leaving the ball handler open from 3 since Mo inside presence is too dominerring. Its ridiculous to leave a top 3/D center in the league playing sub 10 mins a game. The guy is a starter on any other team in the league.
Mo honestly needs a bigger role, he has popped off every game he played quality minutes, being a piece that can absolutely be pointed at for the reason a lead accumulated. I have said it before but the Magic won that draft year, yes Luka/Trae would have been nice, but Mo is also a prize and its not a consolation prize but the grand prize.
We won’t lose another game this year!
Back to back wins and we have a very beatable Hornets team next this just got interestingā¦
Wins in 2 games straight. That my friends is called a win streak.
Thought we needed to get 3 wins during this home stand, did NOT think these would be the three lol
I’m sorry, WHAT?
Can someone explain to me how ya’ll are crushing it? Genuinely happy for you guys. is it good basketball or is your opponents shitting the bed?
Great to get 2 in a row. Hopefully we can keep building on this when we play the Hornets in a few days!
Just realised we geld book to 17…lol
Good games from Suggs, Carter, and Bol
This postgame show is great. VC with Jeff and Steele, and then Dante with Q and Nick. Helped that the Magic won too!
Good all around game. Big shoutout to Chuma for clamping up Book, and also another good building block game for Suggs as he continues to find his footing in the league.
Franz and WCJ doing what has come to be expected of them so nothing surprising there.
Magic 3-2 on their home stretch with two more winnable games on the docket (CHA, MIN). Ross’ in-between game has been a welcome sight this season, and Chuma’s defense has been crazy
Elevator attendant at Amway in very broken English before the game told me- āstop booker we win easyā
He was so right!
Ima buy pizza and give it right back to the delivery driver and say this oneās on the Magic.
