    Fultz and Goga

  2. bllr32423

    Haven’t watched him play much but have always noticed that Goga was an excellent offensive rebounder

  3. LR_Mango

    1 rbd and 1 pt per minute… Ok for me. Play him 30 mins!

  4. dirtyben2010

    Pacers fan. Seeing GOATga score against us makes me sad.

  5. Which_Giraffe8614

    Bol Bol 26 minutes in last 2 games – 2 points. Goga 2 minutes – 2 (+1 potential) points

  6. Cute-Significance450

    Can we all admit that Stuff is the best mascot?

  7. HeadlessShinobi

    Pleasantly surprised by Goga so far. He might already be the best rebounder on the team.

  8. SincereFan

    I TOLD YALL GOGA IS A FUTURE STAR. He no MO but he is so much better than Bol its crazy. He is a real center. I dont understand why this coach insists on using Moe/Bol that always fail as a duo. Its even worse that this coach uses Bol/Moe combo as a 4/5 combo when both of them are clearly not centers. Goga is a true center. Anytime a real center comes the difference is so visible. I like both Moe/Bol but they dont work together imo and they are disastrous if any of them are expected to rim protect and rebound.

    I do like the idea of putting a 5 with them but I rather just bench Bol and play Goga or Caleb. I think Goga can start right now. He is going to change this team. He isnt as good as MO but he is nice.

  9. Gio_9816

    Step aside ooga booga, ooga goga is my new best friend

  11. Getting baby vuc vibes from goga. Not really liking his interior presence defensively though tbh. Seems more offensively minded. Could be completely wrong. Haven’t looked into him

  12. Suggs is so freaking good on defense. If he could just score a little bit he’d be a star

  14. Suggs out here playing safety and stripping shit lol

  15. AnselLovesNuts

    Lucky to be tied rn. 1 assist between all starters very weird lol

  16. soxfaninfinity

    Suggs was obviously not good on offense that half but his defense probably saved about ten points

  17. bllr32423

    Suggs is an insane defender. All-defense lock next season if he can be healthy

  18. rustystatic

    Goga deserves some minutes in the 2nd half. Sit Bol a bit more

  19. themoreyouknow_95

    He’s gotta lot of room to grow on offense but I love watching Suggs play, his energy on defense is relentless

  20. Which_Giraffe8614

    It’s 5:12am in Georgia and I was waiting for this moment

  21. kadynwylie

    Up 1 essentially without Wendell. We take that

  22. Independent-Impress7

    At least we get WCJ back next half smh

  23. SincereFan

    Yall gotta stop the slander! Goga is great but he is no MO. Mo has AT Great potential. Mo has better shooting stats, better defensive stats, better rim protecting stats, Mo clears on everything.

    This is why I keep on saying Bol/Moe arent centers. Look at how different the team looks with a real center. All what Goga is doing Mo was doing better when he was playing but the coach refused to play Mo. Bol/Moe arent centers, neither is Paolo, neither is Dell. Goga, JI, MO are all centers and its so apparent the difference on the court when they are on the court and holding the paint. Its ridiculous that this coach keeps making losing lineups that have failing numbers nightly and never changes it. Goga will be a perfect fit. He needs to start until JI can play long extended minutes. Dell isnt a center put him at the 4.

    If this team is truly competing I honestly think Bol is benched. I would give Caleb somewhat consistent minutes, and Chuma may flex more than Bol. Goga starts and Cole/Gary/Suggs play offense/ defense specialist depending on the need.

  24. bllr32423

    This game couldn’t be any closer lol. I feel like these two teams are gonna be playoff teams next season

  25. mightymouthcrv

    All things considered, not a bad half from the Magic. Both teams shooting poorly, but at least we pretty played evenly with them with Wendell sidelined for most of the half.

  26. Sincere_Franz

    I can’t understand why Franz doesn’t have huge scoring games. He can score literally anywhere and has one of the deepest bags I’ve seen. If he had Paolos mentality he’d be an MVP candidate.
