What makes me sleep at night is knowing that when we had our championships teams, we also had troubles with FTs ( Shaq and Nick era, D12 era ) now its a dawn of a new Magic championshio team.

This lead isn't big enough. The second half is not going to be pretty. Does anyone have stats for our second half games? We have to be one of the worst teams in the second half of games.

#4 Offense, #1 Defense, #1 net rating in the first half

#30 Offense, #16 Defense, #29 Net Rating in the second half

[Bensational]

I think a Goga/Paolo/Franz/Ingles/Harris lineup to start the 3rd might help us break the 3Q slow starts and collapses.

I wish Caleb was my son-in-law

Anyone one of them earning NBA$$$ would do for a son-in-law lol

Do they get drunk or something in the locker room at the half???

[eyriq]

Ingles wants a vest

[GameOver25]

All I want for Christmas is for Paolo to get a better looking shot.

Got to punish these guys in the paint if they want to go small

Easy to forget Caleb is still just 20 years old. I'm not writing him off as a future contributor. That jumper is just too wet.

I mean it's not unfounded, we suck in second halves lol, but at the same time we've been abnormally good in first halves, it's not supposed to be easy to beat any NBA team by 20+ from start to finish, especially on the road and with 3 starters out.

Didnt watch the first half but you would thing mosely would be hammering in there heads about there second half woes and avoiding the inevitable collapse. I guess we'll see.

[thelead]

we could possibly kickstart the bulls rebuild if we blow them out

[KillMonger]

we've seen a pattern these past few games....we get up and then we relax and lose the lead....what will happen this time? will the pattern hold form?

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Off topic but can I say how awesome it is that Ish Smith has stuck around in the NBA. I really liked him when he was playing for us. He didn’t get a lot of minutes but I was always rooting for him to make it and I’m happy that he got a ring in Denver. I was looking at the Bucks stats and saw him with them.

I also hoped that BJ Johnson would be able to make it. He played well for us when he was here too.

[RichCollab]

Let’s win the 3rd quarter!!! Yeah, I know I’m dreaming.

[eyriq]

I think we blow them out by 21

[RookieStar]

So.... 3QC is a thing right? Our 15pt lead goes down by how much? We should have a poll for this ever GT.
