jk jk, great defense to end it.

Isaac is our break-glass-in case-of-emergency card but the caveat is, if we use it too much he also breaks.

I thought Isaac would start against that massive team, but atleast Mosley knew to close with them. Great win. We are a very dangerous team when healthy.

Orlando is definitely a different team when we're not down 8 rotational players.

Isaac is a special player. If he can stay healthy it changes everything.

Good job Magic!!!




Honestly it was an awful start. They were getting demolished in the 1st Q and last month Minny had a 30pt halftime lead on our home court so the board meltdown early was warranted.

I'd prefer them to call it this way, at the very least it was pretty even on both sides

Alot better than the usual "let teams play physical against us, but call touch fouls on us"

It's on Isaac and others to not let us down with injuries. At least, playing smart when they can. Some stuff is inevitable.

We already waited all those years when he was injured, why throw him away now when he's contributing more than the past 4 seasons and has won us at minimum 5 games halfway thru the year.


If he's willing to take significantly less with a team option I'm all for bringing him back but I'm still not making any significant investment in him with his injury history

We just need to use Isaac just enough off the bench to be a clear playoff team, and then start this big lineup in the playoffs.

Win was especially sweeter with them at full health. Told you we would get this W SOUL! 8-)

Great win by the Magic! Proud of the team tonight! That jumbo lineup we deploy is dope, love it

Man, if Fultz was just the player he was last year, it would make a huge difference. Something needs to give QUICK on that decision. He didn't have a terrible night but he made everyone else night tough on offense. I'm sure we'll see screen captures of Rudy 'playing defense' on him.

Fast break points is pretty much the story here for Orlando. Defense generated offense

No Fultz in the 4th brought a tear of happiness to my eyes.

I called it before the game that they would put Gobert on Fultz, and they grabbed the early lead due to that

Thankfully coach adjusted and brought out the trump card in the 4th right in time with the jumbo lineup

Return to Orlando Magic
