AB fouling out PG13 and then hitting both free throws was huge.

We have talent that's how

I suppose many fans are still slow to adjust to the team not being total ass anymore

AB had a great game. JI had a great game. Cole did well leading the Magic with 25 points. Paolo is +18. How come this group is not special, man! We are down to 8 men standing and still everybody fought. Special, special!

Wtf we only had 8 available players and we still beat the 76ers with 2 all stars? JI played amazing, hopefully he keeps it up.

These guys might lose their seeding over the next 2 weeks, but once they get their guys back they're going to start putting belt to ass in short order.

JI’s first double-double since 2019.

Wasn't there a player poll and he was top 3 for coach that opposing players wanted to play for or something.

No idea. But he seem very popular.

Found a way. 4th seed. But the lack of bodies are going to be very costly the next 3 games.
Enjoy, savor this.

Wait, what happened to TDS/Goga?

Wow, the nba.com play-by-play had us with an extra 2 points apparently during the final minutes. I had no idea Maxey's three was actually a go-ahead shot.

We overcame an unreal amount of crap in this one. Some of it our fault (free throws and 3pt shooting), some of it not (injuries, plus what sounded like a heinous call or two). Hard to understate how huge this win is. We've done an amazing job to be where we are, but let's not kid ourselves, it's still tenuous. Maintaining top 6 isn't going to happen automatically, it's going to continue to be a nightly challenge.

TDS was sick. Tried to give it a go, but couldn't. Checked out immediately.

Goga strained his hip.

And it’s usually the All Stars that are talking to him, he seriously is liked by these guys and hopefully me day this leads to us getting someone we wouldn’t have normally had a chance of getting

Wait, what?

I don't know, the nba.com play-by-play has been crappy lately. It had us with 104 as the game ended, but then it changed and displayed 102-99 as the final score for about 10 minutes. Now it's back to 104-99.

Btw, the tv is right in front of me and I have the channel to watch, I was just being superstitious and didn't want to turn it on in fear that it would tank our chances.
