I don't believe you guys, I was walking all around the Grand Bohemian for Lakers and I couldn't find anybody. Checked the publically available stuff like meeting rooms, the spa room, the weight rooms and nobody.

The Magic are not title contenders but I really believe the Magic are better than their record indicates. They are just a few pieces away.

Defense was solid and 'the others' hit shots. Great win.

Lol. What’s “the others”? Why are you making them sound like anonymous bad guys?

Ab having the most aggressive stretch of his career. 3 out of the last 4 in double digit scoring

It always irks me when people dumb down 3 pt shooting to just "hitting shots", like its just a matter of luck. There is a reason people shoot better when they have competent PG's alongside them. The absence of Cole and the presence of Cory is the reason our shot quality has gone up.

Anyone know our record when Paolo/Franz drop 30+ each? Shoutout AB with a big game off the bench.

that point did not elude me... at all. I've been on team 'get us a PG' for years now.

Fun game. Paolo, AB and Franz were terrific. Feels good to actually look good, reminds me of when things were feeling more promising last season and earlier this season.

The CoJo stuff is being overstated. Just my two cents.
