23-6 run for the clearly tanking team.

I think collectively this board needs to ease off with this "Team X is tanking!" stuff. Sometimes teams lose, sometimes teams win. It's not always some master plot by the puppet masters in the front office pulling the strings.

Toronto still might lose.

WOW! Raptors for the win!!!

Refs swallowed their whistle on the last play. Should've been offensive foul.

Hopefully the Wizards are fired up when they play us Wednesday.

True.. but just hard not to when they just fell off a cliff that fast. Kind of like us when we lost D12, they are mirroring our tanking moves when they lsot Kawhi lol

All things considered this was a very good night for the Magic.

Wolves get win No. 13
Pistons get win No. 15
Cavs get win No. 18
Raptors get win No. 20

Davion Mitchell looking like the best player.

Yep, solid night. Getting into the bottom 3 would be good (unlikely, I know).

NCG on it's way. Suggs/Gonzaga not looking good in the early goings, at all.

Suggs might have to put the team on his back

I agree. To be fair I haven't watched much college basketball this year, but I don't think Gonzaga's defense and rebounding is up to the task. How did they go undefeated so far? Have they played anyone? I do see the offensive talent for sure (they were a bit cold/tight early, which didn't help them). Zone's not gonna get it done with how good/hot Baylor's shooters have been and I don't think they can man up effectively against it, either.

Zags are too small I think. But yeah unlike Baylor, the Zags didnt really play the tough teams to *toughen* then up

Jared Butler seems like an amazing shooter, not sure why he's so low in the draft.

Baylor seems like they want it more....they are the more physical team

MagicFan101 · Post #1578 » by **MagicFan101** » Tue Apr 6, 2021 2:55 am

Baylor is out of their league.

I’m freaking out!

Sic ‘em!

I like Butler a lot.

He's a junior with 94 games under his belt, but he's only 20 years old still. Doesn't turn 21 until August.

I think he should be a first round pick. I'd absolutely be thrilled to take him at 34.

Some people on here like those Gonzaga players but give me those Baylor guards over the Gonzaga any and everyday. Baylor destroyed the sh-t out of Gonzaga, i would not draft Suggs. I think it's impossible but I like to see Teague,Mitchell and Butler on the Magic along with Max Abmas.
