I knew we were bad in the 3rd quarter but I didn't realize that we were the worst shooting team in the 3rd quarter...I think we might need more shooters.

Suggs makes plays where there are seemingly no places to make plays. I've never seen anyone do that so much.

Or have the players you have get better at shooting. But wait.. pepe would say players can't get better.

[IllMagic04]

Great shot but I didn't even pump my fist to celebrate. Just a unimpressive win. But I guess its better then an impressive loss

Let me tell you, staying up until 4:45AM to lose that in overtime would have felt brutal for me

Your a tropper for that. When we win a championship you should get a ring. Most times I dont even stay up for west coast games lol

Give them the beatdown on Friday.

Who is the commentary with Q Rich on the Post Game show?

F all y’all talking **** about a win. Yea it isn’t pretty but this is the game in the last 10 years we always blow it. We are not **** good enough to start bitching about wins

I agree with this. A win is a win, especially on a back to back and especially on a game winner by our dude

Rather lose playing the right way than win playing like ass. We aren't contenders so i'm more interested in habits over Ws

[Knightro]

The Magic and that's all that matters. When the season ends, they're not going to not count this one in the standings because it was ugly.

This team still badly needs a real point guard and more shooting.

[MasterGMer]

Another game for us to study. How did we let a 19 points lead go away in the 4th Quarter again? If we lost, this could be the worse loss than Brooklyn. I am glad Paolo and Franz step up in the 4th. But TOs again hurt us. We have to grow. A win is REAL nice! But Friday is only getting tougher because DeRozen is back. But I think we will win!

Paolo is HIM

He is not lol

NOT IS HIM.

He can be a good NBA player without being a franchise player… I’ve never said he sucks, just don’t think he’s someone who can be the best player on a contending team—I don’t see it…

4-12 FG, 7-10 FT and the worst +/- on the team tonight… Give most NBA players volume with the ball in their hands and the opportunity and they will undoubtedly deliver sometimes… He’s a good player, just not a franchise player and they will put their eggs and money in the wrong basket…

You can say the same about Wemby. No one knows how these guys are going to develop. We're just going to have to wait and see.

Congratulations, Magic, we missed one less shot than the Bulls did.

As frustrating as that was, seeing our young guys Paolo and Franz learn to fight through those tough times and pull out a win was worth it, and ultimately enjoyable.

Imagine that...

Agreed. I laugh when people say things like "this is a worthless win", any NBA win for a young team desperate to earn late game experience is very important.

Still a painfully young team and need a dependable scorer to close out games for us. Franz is in a funk this year it seems.

Blown leads are frustrating, but I mean.. we're GETTING the leads which is the good thing. Better than in years past where we're just fighting and clawing to stay within 10 only to hope to get hot.

I figured out why they suck so much at the end of games. They slow their pace way down which throws them all off and makes them commit turnovers nonstop. It's like taking a kid who has been hyper for two hours straight and telling them to slow down and read a book. Not going to work.

They need to continue to play their game. Not slow down and “protect the lead”. Unless this is the team blatantly ignoring Mosely, it seems like a coaching issue. I wonder how a game would go if they didn’t take their foot off the gas pedal and kept their rapid scoring pace. It’s definitely what they are best at this season.

Plus they are relying way too much on Paolo and his game simply isn’t there yet. Sure give him the ball with the game on the line, but this whole ISO Paolo thing that starts at the beginning of the fourth quarter is not working.

[MasterGMer]

Paolo is struggling most of the game. He needs to go downhill quicker and more determined to the hoop. But I know he can improve on that area for sure.

Also Paolo is PAOLO! He made a 3 and drew fouls plus making the winning shots. That is Clutch. Paolo didn't lose the game for us and TO did almost. But Paolo WON the game for us!

[basketballRob]

Oh boy, Mosely said he trusts Black at the end of the game because he's been there before. Black is 19 and already getting leaned on like a vet.

It's certainly not a worthless win. The goal is to make the playoffs so there are no worthless wins. But it was so unimpressive. Like theres nothing to really be excited about. Just a unimpressive performance against an unimpressive opponent

Great shot by Paolo to win the game, happy we pulled that one out on the road

[ogmagicfan]

I'm really confused why Franz passed the ball to Black to then get intentionally fouled.

He's alot better FT shooter than AB, gotta make better decisions there
