Almost like Mosley and Vaughn had a gentleman’s agreement to pull the plug with 5 minutes left.

Would rather secure lottery balls but can’t be mad that our youth is winning.

Sucks we are going on this win streak right when the Bulls started peaking too. Oh well. Still really cool to see us playing well. The future is looking so bright

WCJ
Hendricks
Paolo
Franz
Suggs

If Franz and Paolo become the primary playmakers so Suggs doesn’t have too much responsibility and pressure, that could work in my mind. We’d get perimeter spacing and defense. We’d have 2 big wing playmakers running the offense. We’d be gritty and fun to watch, IMO.
Franz at SG looked like excrement last time I saw him there

The Magic tonight played a rotation of…

24 year old PG
28 year old SG
21 year old SF
20 year old PF
23 year old C

23 year old backup PG
21 year old backup SG
20 year old backup SF
25 year old backup C

They played a playoff team that just destroyed another playoff team literally last night.

It is what it is.

Don’t remember which game I was watching the other night but they mentioned something about that the magic having the highest PPG scored by the youngest players. So, essentially, even though there are younger teams, the magic youth is actually scoring the most.

It was infuriating when we were winning games with the likes of Ben Gordon and Willie Green but this doesn't feel bad at all lol

I much prefer 4th quarter Cole over 4th quarter Willie (I can’t believe Steele and Turner tried to make that a thing).

I know they will likely make the playoffs but let's be honest the Nets aren't really a playoff team. Almost certain they'd prefer to be in the Wemby running. Unfortunately for them hey built a massive cushion before the Irving and Durant trade. Prior to those trades the Nets were overwhelmingly better than the magic but now I would say the Magic are better. This win for the magic was not lucky.

Except we’ve been winning at a similar clip since we got healthy in December. I’m just not sure what we can do other than sitting WCJ and a few of the guards. Do you expect them to sit their second year star and the soon to be ROY?

After tonight...

Magic 32 wins with 7 to go
Blazers 32 wins with 8 to go
Wizards 33 wins with 7 to go
Pacers 33 wins with 7 go to

It certainly seems like the Magic will pass the Blazers. The Wizards and Pacers still play some tankers.

We'll see what happens. Magic might go from 5th worst to 8th worst :lol:

I am really proud of this team this year. And dare I say it, the front office’s patience is looking like it’s paying off. (Fingers crossed I didn’t jinx that)

Last year when we won meaningless games, we ended up in the right position to get the number one pick. It is a lottery, you cannot control it.
