Big win against a good and tough team. It was also a good learning experience after not getting a good whistle most of the night and learning how to keep cool when a team is making a late run.

Paolo sloppy with the possession.

Harris has a knack for making timely defensive plays.

Yes, future defensive player of the year, lol.

Second biggest hater on the board. I think it's usually the negative slanted posters that take shots at Jalen. Well BTW Suggs is already special.

I can't wait to have Fultz back. Black has 0 point tonight. If Fultz can give us 10 or 12 ppg, that is a Win for us. Also Wendell Carter too. But Goga has been great. He has a break out season for us, my friend! lol

Suggs singing the Orlando Magic song and saying we don’t lose at the crib is a good feeling. We are becoming dominant at home again it’s been well over a decade since the last time.

but the team has done well without Fultz dribbling the air out and the better ball movement.

Even though Fultz can not space the floor for Franz and Paolo. So couldn't Black.

I think Fultz can be a good playmaker to make plays for Goga, Suggs, Franz and Paolo. He can set them up. Even though Fultz will take the ball away from Franz and Paolo a bit. But I think he can at least become more productive on offensive end than AB

They will all change their mind sooner or later LOL. Suggs isnt just going to be a great defender. That shot looks good, and he has slowed it down and learned how to control himself on offense. Still athletic, strong, quick and can get to the rim and is becoming a good finisher.

How would Fultz help us against an aggressive 2-3 zone. With his shooting?

Atleast Black provided good defense on Garland when he was in. We need to be spending more time learning plays and schemes to exploit 2-3 to our best ability because every team goes to it against us now

They're right now a silent minority. Look at your sweater vest thread tonight. 99% of the fans already know.

tough fought game. so thankful Paolo and Ingles were able to come back...both looked pretty serious at the time.

1. I gotta say that was an incredible performance by Suggs guarding Mitchell.
2. Looks like teams are starting to fear Goga at the rim. Saw some pretty wild shots in the paint.
3. We are three weeks away from 2024, surely the technology exists to clone a 28 year old version of Joe Ingles...because i want that guy on this team for the next decade.

As for me I like the team.

Magic fans, all star voting begins on Dec 20th. Let's get Paolo and Franz in, guys!! We seriously need to do it. This Magic team is for REAL!!

Just finished the game. Fun game! Really physical. Paolo and Ingles surviving injuries, Suggs and Isaac coming back from injuries. Absolutely loved Paolo giving love to Suggs, actually touched me how genuine it was.

The defense always gets better when Isaac plays.

Where did that come from? What did I say negative about Jalen? I really do believe he is going to be future defensive player candidate. He is in the mode of Marcus Smart. Didn’t think calling him a defensive player of the year was negative. Voted and gave the guy a vest tonight.

You are good man I do have a terrible habit of saying “lol”. But Suggs is vital to the success of this team he is pretty much the heart and soul and defensive anchor.
