The fact that Kevon tried to take over and Jett couldn't get anything is a bit concerning.

It is. They dont pass the ball hahaha

Couldn't watch due to stupid blackout rules. Glad Paolo had a monster game. Would really like to see him become a superstar. He's on his way!

Healthy knicks would be a different story but we've been great about beating teams we should beat lately.

Our defense was really suffocating. Black makes difference there.
Carter got outrebounded badly. It was painful to watch. On the other hand Goga is so undisciplined. I would like to get some other center in the offseason....

Feels like we play better with Moe and even Isaac at center than with Wendell out there.

Rick Brunson & Mosely were both assistants on the Nuggets I believe in the past and are close friends

Wonder if Mosely could get Rick on our coaching staff, and Jalen to come along?

Help us ONCE lol

They went 0-7 for 3 in 4th quater, 7-22 overall in 4th.

They have two of players i really didn't like . Barrett and Barnes.

Btw, Celtics beat Nets by 50 :noway:

And we are at a point of a saeson where every single team is so damn banged up with injuries that you have no clue who will play on every given night . As fan of a game, it's very annoying.

Thats the price of an 82 game season, right?

yep, it gets worst at the end. In March you have games were random 5 bench players start against bench of other teams.

That's kind a only thing he is capable doing. He had 9 against Houston.

Box score thoughts:

Orlando won the FG% battle and won the game.

Orlando was 36-50 = 72% from inside the arc. That means the eFG% of the 46.2% of the three ball (69.3%) actually lowered Orlando's shooting lines. In other words, this is arguably Orlando's best ever shooting night in 35 years. It's gotta be top-5.

And: Orlando also shot 90%+ from the free-be line!

The Magic had three players with 20+ plus/minus lines: F-Wagner, M-Wagner, and Anthony.

Now: even though the Magic shot lights out, the team still had the same rebounding stat line as New York. WOW.

And Orlando dominated on defensive rebounds: 27-18. It's fine.

I don’t care about him- I care that ORL couldn’t stop it

I dunno who to blame though. Wcj or PB? Those guys are mediocre rebounders

Dunno…maybe it never became an issue for THIS game, but I wonder if Goga shuts that down in a tighter game.

From my point of view WCJ got outrebounded many times. I prefer JI next to Banchero.
