2nd night of a b2b is all I got... which is wild too

I don't buy that he's not healthy enough to play though. His defense is exceptional when he does play.

Caleb deserves a lot of credit here too.

Isaac and Da Silva basically out of the rotation and Mosley running a more normal 9-man rotation now.

Here for it tbh.

The Magic took care of business tonight on a back to back.

On to Thursday.....

You train how you play. If you want him to play 20 mins in the postseason, he needs to be playing 20 minutes now.

Caleb stretches the floor and Isaac does not. It's that simple IMO. The Magic need the 3PT shooting more than they need the defense.

When is Cole going to come back? But how bout tat AB tonight again!! 20 points, 3 offensive rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal!!

No AB, your offense is very much needed not just your energy.

JI has played 63 fames this season already, more then last season. Conditioning is still an issue obviously.

Atlanta getting smoked in Houston too.

I think the Magic are almost certainly going to end up with the 7 seed in the play in.

Coach Mos is probably saving Isaac for the post season and tonight is a back to back

I wonder if they even pick up Jett contract option now.
Houstan makes like 3 times less and gives better value.

AB didn’t have a stellar game as far as efficiency, good to see him confident enough to take 18 shots. He was moving off the ball nicely, hitting passing lanes which have been empty for too long. He had some defensive highlights.

He’s finding form and we desperately need it. When AB plays well, the team wins. Keep it up young buck!

I simply wouldn't mess with what's working.

Keep playing 9 with Cole, Isaac and TDS just not in the mix right now.

Yes, they picked it up in October I believe.

I don't think so.

It was big that he could miss a few and still step up and take more.

AB was not making his corner 3s today, if he did he would probably go for a carrer high. He must take those shots if open anyway
