I like this situation. It’s a test. Let’s see if we can get the win.

I love that they are feeding Paolo and playing off of him. Those last few buckets were because of that.

Nice recovery by Cole to cut off the defender on the corner

That was an absolutely heinous defensive 3 second call lol.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Playing Wendell in the SL is costing us wins. I hope he doesn't come back.

Indiana are a bad defensive team, but for a moment we forgot how to play an offense.

Let’s see if we remember how to win. Refs are now not on our side so we are going to have to be mentally tough.

They've made more 3s than we've attempted. That's pretty remarkable, I'd be curious to know how many times that has happened in the last decade. It might not be unheard of, but surely it's very rare.

It’s less of a “test” than it is a planned disaster recovery drill.

This is what I hate about officials man.... They call it one way, you get used to it then they completely switch up on you.... I know they wanted to call that moe charge a block so bad but it was too obvious a charge

They were going to go on a run. We are on their court. We have to take this game.

Until this nonsense changes, the Magic are not a serious basketball team.

This isn't 1993. It's 2023 and making 5 threes in a friggin game ain't it.
