Lol at paolo changing jerseys with mcdaniels. Lol

Would have expected a better player

They grew up together in Seattle

[RookieStar]

Yall should thank me for my sacrifice. I said earlier this is one of those games where i stop watching and the Magic magically wins lol

[penny_nz]

Great win, but I wish Black had 30 minutes and a loss instead

jk jk, great defense to end it.

Isaac is our break-glass-in case-of-emergency card but the caveat is, if we use it too much he also breaks.

[Residual-Heat]

I thought Isaac would start against that massive team, but atleast Mosley knew to close with them. Great win. We are a very dangerous team when healthy.

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Orlando is definitely a different team when we're not down 8 rotational players.

[mattyBoi]

Isaac is a special player. If he can stay healthy it changes everything.

[GameOver25]

Long bois lineup is back! Don't let us down now Mosley.

[Optimus_Steel]

WOW!!! Whatever you guys do, do not read the first 10 pages of this thread.

Good job Magic!!!

Honestly it was an awful start. They were getting demolished in the 1st Q and last month Minny had a 30pt halftime lead on our home court so the board meltdown early was warranted.

[ogmagicfan]

I love the way they played tonight. Great defense after the 1st. Love the way they called it. Yes they missed some fouls but this is basketball that people can get behind again.

I'd prefer them to call it this way, at the very least it was pretty even on both sides

Alot better than the usual "let teams play physical against us, but call touch fouls on us"

[SOUL]

Long bois lineup is back! Don't let us down now Mosley.

It's on Isaac and others to not let us down with injuries. At least, playing smart when they can. Some stuff is inevitable.

Thank you for sacrifice.

Go Magic

This game is why I scoff at people who are hellbent on giving up on Isaac or throwing him in trades for mediocre bench warmers. It's ridiculous talk.

We already waited all those years when he was injured, why throw him away now when he's contributing more than the past 4 seasons and has won us at minimum 5 games halfway thru the year.

If he's willing to take significantly less with a team option I'm all for bringing him back but I'm still not making any significant investment in him with his injury history

[Last Guardian]

We just need to use Isaac just enough off the bench to be a clear playoff team, and then start this big lineup in the playoffs.

[SOUL]

3dd would've definitely turned this off in the 1st!

[ChosenSavior]

Win was especially sweeter with them at full health. Told you we would get this W SOUL!

Great win by the Magic! Proud of the team tonight! That jumbo lineup we deploy is dope, love it

[thelead]

Man, if Fultz was just the player he was last year, it would make a huge difference. Something needs to give QUICK on that decision. He didn't have a terrible night but he made everyone else night tough on offense. I'm sure we'll see screen captures of Rudy 'playing defense' on him.

[eyriq]

Fast break points is pretty much the story here for Orlando. Defense generated offense

[Optimus_Steel]

MAGIC WIN! This was a wonderful come from behind win against the best team in The west on their home court.

Quality victory. On the road and down big.

[ogmagicfan]

No Fultz in the 4th brought a tear of happiness to my eyes.

I called it before the game that they would put Gobert on Fultz, and they grabbed the early lead due to that

Thankfully coach adjusted and brought out the trump card in the 4th right in time with the jumbo lineup
