This! Especially since we have not been good against Portland, we are 27-40 against them.


I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking fans are starting to get arrogant. We havent proven or shown anything of note yet to earn it tbh.


These guys proved themselves last year after the atrocious start. Many, myself included, thought we'd be better off last year playing for development but these kids went out there and fought their asses off.

Crazy to see The Magic on a West Coast Trip this early in the season.

I like it though.

This. There is nothing wrong at all about getting excited and supporting your team. Actually, it's weird not to. No point in being overly cautious posting in a thread online. Whatever force runs the show behind the scenes will not be affected at all by this and neither will the W or L column.

Ayton’s a young guy but he has the face of a 52 year old

When POR faced LAC Ayton was practically useless. He now has an early 4pts?

I'm liking seeing Paolo being more aggressive offensively to start the game

There are some wickedly talented players on this roster.

Maybe more pure athleticism than we’ve ever had.

Loving the backcourt…. Not gonna lie. Fultz is pressing Scoot every second and Suggs just doing Suggs things.

I wish we’d keep Suggs on Henderson on defense, he’ll break him before his career begins.
