2023-2024 Regular Season Game 5: Orlando Magic (2-2) at Utah Jazz (2-3) - 9pm

[Mc-o]

Did not miss fultz at all , if we can replace fultz with a shooter magic are in good shape

Yes, we miss Fultz tonight. The offense was not as organized and in the 4th Q, we turned the ball over 2 consecutive times. If Fultz was in there, we win much bigger. Good job AB tonight. I know Paolo is gonna get it back. Good game overall. But Lakers on Saturday and let's get them back

The offense was better tonight than most of the games so far lol replace fultz with a point guard who can shoot and the offense will stay organized

As an AB doubter.. damn does he pass the eye test. He just seems like one of those natural ballers, right place and making the right play consistently. He needs to stick in the rotation.

I know it won’t happen anytime soon, but would like to see a rotation of

Black - Harris - Franz - Paolo - Wendell
Cole - Suggs - Isaac - Moe

He is one of those guys that as they say has a knack for the ball. He just finds a way to get involved. Great sign. He was fantastic tonight.

Why is there a Philly fan here downplaying this young teams wins? Lol

Philly sucks. They have their own dumpster fire to watch.

You got hustled by Harden for trash.

**** off

Like seriously and 1 x 10000

He lives in Philly guys… cut him some slack. I’d be angry all the time too

Facts! I went to visit one time about 10 years back and hopefully I'll never go back bc it's sketchy af but they did have good Jamaican food which is random.

No way.. Jalen will shoot the 3 at 38% eventually.

When that happens.. Black-Suggs-Wagner-Paolo-? Cole off the bench with those kids that can shoot.

[Darth Magic]

Are we still trading Paolo or naw? lol

For Wemby? Yes!

[RookieStar]

Don’t think Carter will miss much time, if any. Looked like a wrist injury when he fell. Didn’t look too bad.

You must have not known who wcj is. To those who followed him straight out of Duke, we know he will.miss 15-20 games a season.

Probably. Hope not.

Its fine, we have Goga waiting

[MasterGMer]

It was a mess. I honestly think with Fultz out it forced Paolo to take more control and he found himself.

No no no. Fultz could make Paolo's game even easier. He is a pass first PG. Paolo was gonna find himself sooner than later. It was gonna come. I do not think it has too much to do with Fultz being out

When Fultz is in, he makes the game harder for Paolo when he doesn't have the ball. All Fultz does is stand in the corner and let the defense sink into the paint to force harder shots. If that's Harris or Cole the defender can't help off as much and Paolo has a bigger lane to operate and score.

That was just how many possessions of the game? You can see from the game. We need someone to set others up especially with all the shooters on the floor. i am going to reiterate my stance: If you have no shot maker on the floor, spacing does not matter

[jonbob17]

I'll take a 2-2 West Coast trip any time.

100%. Had a chance to sweep the road trip honestly but did young team things to lose in LA. Team never buckled under the pressure and got a huge win in Utah.

Yah it kind of felt like those 2 LA games were there for the taking, but 3-2 after a west coast swing isn’t the worst result. Let’s hope the injuries are minor.

It feels like this team is a little bit of consistent offensive creation away from being the 4/5th best team in east

For those of you on the George train do you at least feel better about AB?

I had them neck and neck. Happy with Black

The offense was better tonight than most of the games so far lol replace fultz with a point guard who can shoot and the offense will stay organized

But with Fultz tonight, the offense will be even better tonight

What's the word on WCJ? Is it gonna be Goga time on Saturday?

But Markelle isn't really good at that though.

For those of you on the George train do you at least feel better about AB?

We could have had both but I am no longer complaining, lol.

[Rick Rolled]

I’m just happy that Paolo’s defense didn’t disappear when his offense finally reappeared. That would be huge if he keeps that up.

[ibraheim718]

I would prefer to see Goga for a little bit anyway. Carter had a food 1st quarter but then an awful 4th.

Tried to tell the haters. It’s a special feel for the game that is hard to explain. I had a similar feeling watching Cade in college. Obviously, they’re different players but their talent subtly popped off the screen in college amongst their peers.

[eyriq]

The Philly stuff is weird. I've been posting here for years. I make a couple comments about this game that people don't like and your talking about the team flair that shows up that I don't even remember putting on my account. I was born in SD and the Chargers are the only hometown team I root for and they don't even play there anymore.

Yeah, I thought you were a regular poster here. But you do come off as a bit antagonistic.

So do I.

[MasterGMer]

Man, we have 3 players injured after tonight. I thought I'd really give Lakers a punch in O town Saturday and get it back.

Let's pray and do this guys. We need to beat the Lakers

You did not. Stop it
