2021-2022 Regular Season Game 51: Dallas Mavericks (29-21) at Orlando Magic (10-40) - 1/30/22 - 7pm ET

This team wins and develops is more important than having the worst record and setting up a Top 5 pick. It is all luck! I'd rather see growth and wins that increase team's value

I watched the rest of the 4th on DVR. Franz got some GREAT practice in the clutch there at the end. One tough bucket and a couple great passes against an excellent defense.

I love how when Coach Mosley really wants to win a game, he puts it in Franz's hands and coaches him up. Very sneaky.

It was a smart win. You have to give the coach and the players some wins like this to keep morale up for a season-long tank. It's a marathon.

we win if Wagner can get us there. Story of a season.

Sooooo.... panac mode goodbye Jabari/Chet/Paolo?

Lolz

good as we dont need any of them, let s go for Ivey

[KillMonger]

Normally I’m pro-tank but …

a) I don’t see a clear star to tank for

b) I want to see what Franz + Suggs + gang can really do. If they win then so be it. Let them ball.

i'm sort of in the same boat....don't get me wrong there are some nice prospects in this draft....but i'm not going to be mad if we're not THE bottom of the barrel team....let detroit be that

A frontcourt player that can get us points? Or at the very least someone who is a waaaay better improvement on Bamba?

The Magic currently has the 3rd best winning streak in the East!!!!!!!!

We can worry about records down the line .....

Plus the Pistons won their game anyhow.

a) this game proves why I should never and will never bet on a game. How was this a win ???

b) if you told me that "bench depth" would be the key to the victory, I would have questioned your sanity.



WHAT A WIN !!!!!

Positivity stat of the game - this one is easy : 110-108

(( digging deeper, the Magic continue to have an excellent eFG% with their 2-ball ))

[Orl_Magic]

Ivey
Mathurin
Keegan Murray
Johnny Davis

All should be good players at the next level

during college me and my friends had whole concept of betting , mainly over under nba players points. And it was complete and utter waste of time as nba was impossible to bet on.
I remember one day deciding to bet everything against logic, and i won. Literally hitting 12 players over udner by going against any logical decision, like Derozan vs worst defense in nba, 22,5 points- under. Trae Young against crappy defense - under 25,5

Even last night, Clippers beat Hornets by steamrolling them by 25 points. Bridges over under point was 20,5 , guy shot 6-19

late OT, i think it was 2016, i was student, literally with 0,00 at bank account, i'm waiting Vučevic over 14,5 points aganist i think Houston for cca $800.
Vuc scores 14 points in first half ... 0 in second. it's 6am in the moarning, i had 0 hours of sleep, on verge of heart attack and anger meltdown... hour later i had exam at college. Went as expected
But worst feeling of my life was betting 18,5 over Lou Williams. Guy scored 20, last point was goaltend, and it was booked to wrong player. to this date i still can't get over it

Lots of guys played well in this game but hats off to Chuma. That's two games in a row where he's been superb. It's kind of funny that his playmaking clicked at the same time as his shooting. He's a very well-balanced player when things are going right.

Also, Mo Wagner deserves credit for 14 points in 15 minutes. T-Ross trusts him.

Likewise, respect to Wendell for nabbing some big rebounds, even when Dallas attacked the offensive glass and, of course, Franz continues to shine.

Finally, I was pleased with Cole here. Not great percentages but it felt like he moved the ball way more than normal and he didn't get ruined on defence. That spurt in the late 2nd quarter and 3rd quarter where he made some shots was really pleasing. Also, the way Franz cuts sort of forces the point guard out of Cole sometimes. They could be an interesting pairing one day.

Anyway, another day, another win.

Did Luka demand a trade to play for Mosley yet?

We are going to be a bottom 5 team no matter what we do. So we will have *SOME* shot at a top 3 pick regardless.

I don’t care much at all about having the #1 odds this year. I really don’t.

I want to see the chemistry and growth of the young guys we have.

I couldn’t say that last year.

Cole Anthony give's me some Hezonja vibes right now. Irrational confidence, good free throw shooter, cant hit anything from 3.
