I wonder how much fans would chastise Mosley in these situations compared to Nurse/Spoelstra when their offenses are just floundering.

Embiid is definitely playing injured. Gotta like going all out like that. I like Jaquez. Kids a baller.

Sure... NOW Embiid is injured but when he played us he looked fine.

Personally I want to continue developing internally. I know its not popular concept...but just give AB and Jett bigger roles next season.
AB/Cole
Suggs/Jett

Felt like we play like Philly did that first half. Couldn’t shoot. Maybe Joe will put in a Batum performance for us this series

Credit to Embiid. He was awful for 3 quarters and turned it on in a big way in the 4th quarter.
11 PTS, 4 REB, 2 AST, 3/5 FG, 2/2 3PT, 3/3 FT.

Batum saving those bums. Wish Jingles is like him, 35 year old bench that shoots lights out in the 3pt line.

What a come back from Philly here, the defense from Batum to finish has been fantastic
I still believe in Magic! Welcome to the Franz & Paolo era

Vuc needs to give up on 3's. He's way too big to be outside so often.

Trae is the better offensive player but when I look at the whole picture, I prefer Murray's overall game (and contract). And I'm talking in general here, not from the Magic's perspective.

We have six impact players; Paolo, Franz, Suggs, Cole, JI, Moe.KillMonger wrote:What it is with some of you? Yall want a washed up klay? Then again it's par for the course...

Klay sliding in for Harris will give us a seventh.
We don't need much to build out a playoff quality rotation. AB sliding in for Fultz gives us eight impact players. Jett replacing replacing Klay will sustain the build.
Upgrading Cole and Moe, sustaining the health of JI, and developing the lotto talents will be ongoing subplots but we've got a good thing that doesn't need a massive external acquisition.

Murray on this team at the trade deadline would’ve been a problem in playoffs. Damn

Oh oh there's some turmoil in Atlanta, Murray ain't too happy with Trae.
