I hate this if true. JI should be the starter.

I hate it from Mosley's perspective but I love it, if true, from WCJ's perspective. Makes me think he's about the team above himself and that he would welcome a bench role.

That said, I don't buy it but you never know unless one of the guys talks about it.

Carter has back spasms and was a little bit limited.

TBH honest though it was the right decision.

I really like the center rotation they have.

Isaac and Mose literally did talk about it that's the reason it was brought up lol.

It didn't have to do with starting, it was with a long Isaac stint that WCJ thought he should keep playing a few more minutes.

That makes more sense. Seemed like he was talking about starting considering the lineups change.

Johnathan Isaac is the real MVP of this team and everyone else is starting to notice!

I'm glad Franz finally stepped up and played aggressive :nod:

Now we learned how they menaged to drop games to Wizards, Raptors, Grizzlies :lol:

if Glenn took over in November, he would run them straight into lottery. This guy is so not able to cocah in nba any more. Feels like watching last years of Phil Jackson. Out of touch and nothing he is capable of doing is no longer working in modern basketball.

Bucks from opening tip to last sec runned execlly 0 set plays with high pick&roll center, including 0 plays for curling Lillard. His offense is " get a ball to star, call iso . My job here is done".

They are brutal to watch. One coach 30-11, fired. Other coach 17-20. :crazy:
Was Doc ever really a good coach? That Boston team was loaded with 3 potential hall of famers that probably coached themselves. Doc has always talked a good game but I never really thought of him as much of a coach. Has always seamed to throw players under the bus when things aren't going good.

Isaac said on the post game he was told yesterday he'd be starting. Wendell was going to go in in the 2nd quarter but he told Mose to let Isaac stay in because he had it going.

I am sure WCJ could use the rest up for the playoffs once he saw the team playing well enough.

The Magic held the Bucks to zero field goals the last 7 mins of the second quarter. Elite.

Boxscore thoughts:

Orlando crushed the FG% differential and won easily.

Holding the Bucks to 7-27 (25.9%) with their long ball was key.

My favorite boxscore line: at the 7:06 mark of the second quarter, the Bucks took an 11 point lead. For the rest of the game the Magic outscored the Bucks 85 to 49. Wow.

The Magic won the TO battle minus-6.
and
The Magic won the rebounding battle plus-9.
That resultant in, even thought the Magic shot the ball MUCH better than the Bucks, the Magic actually took 10 more FG attempts.

Two stats that let coach sleep well.
The Magic won the assists battle plus-11.
The Magic went 18-19 from the charity stripe (94.7%)

Not hyperbole: this was the best game-82 in 35 years of Magic history.

It was one of the top 5 regular season wins in team history. Maybe #1 due to the significance with play-in.

Excellent win in the end, great hustle by everyone. Isaac really is a game changer, he was the key for the decisive run in the second quarter which turned the game around. Good to see Paolo and Franz having really good games. The Bucks didn't need the game as much and it showed in the effort level, but I'll take it.

The Cavs are a reasonable matchup for us, we have a shot IMO, but a lot will depend on Mitchell's health. But it has to be said that despite his gaudy playoff numbers Mitchell has won only 2 playoff series in his career and the last three series he had lost his team was the favourite and the higher seed.

If it was another coach I would think he was intentionally trying to lose by attacking Isaac in pick and rolls over and over again but that's Doc, so maybe he is just that clueless, LOL.
