That looks clean to you?

this aint wnba. Sorry.


Looks like the contact from Bam's right hand on WCJ's left hand/wrist area is what caused him to lose the ball.

Coach Mosely took a jab at the officials without saying it.

Well worded.

I’m not going to kill Mosley because that’s just low hanging fruit to me. It’s easy to nitpick rotations and complain about subs, but players still gotta execute when called upon.

Suggs checked in with 4:49 to go in the 3rd Q and didn’t exit until 3:20 to go in the 4th Q. He was gassed.

The bigger issue is that he’s not starting.


Maybe it’s an overreaction by me.

I just don’t understand why he can’t stagger lineups to take advantage of mismatches. Suggs should have never left the game tbh. Paolo coming off the bench cold and being put into a closing situation wasn’t great either.

He could've used foresight and subbed him out earlier to bring back at the end of the game.

It’s tough because the Magic’s biggest strength by a wide margin for the last two months basically has been their depth.

Tonight Mosley rode the bench about two minutes too long and it burned him, but in general the Magic having been beating people by not having any noticeable drop off when they sub.

So it’s hard for me to hammer Mosley over being too slow with his subs when the subs have carried things for so long.

I would change the lineup to be:
Cole / Fultz
Suggs / Harris
Franz / Isaac
Paolo / Bol
WCJ / Moe W

I think that would better balance skills / hustle / energy. Don't think Mose would do it though (primarily benching Fultz). Also, I'm primarily suggesting Cole goes to the starters due to his chemistry with Suggs.

Man I'm pissed

Get glasses

If you think those contact warrants a foul, then we dont deserve to win this game at all. We started the game with a lot more physicality than these and the refs didnt call a foul


Saw another angle - clear foul on Adebayo. He was literally holding on to Wendell’s left hand.

Dante and Brian Hill are showing replays and tearing into the refs and they NEVER do that kind of stuff.

Prob would have meant Suggs being on the floor for 16 minutes in a row, that's a lot to ask for.

Look at Miami's minutes distribution and look at ours. Good teams play their best players a ton of minutes. We try to beat teams with our depth, which is fine but when you find the difference makers, you have to keep them in the game. Was Suggs gassed? Probably but sub him out and get him back in the final minute. Same for JI. We were up. Win with JI and Suggs down the stretch. It's not rocket science.

Edit: We're on the same page BTW... I know it sounds like I'm aiming at you with this post but I'm just piling on :lol:

Like I said, it’s tough. Suggs had played like 13 straight minutes and was sucking wind by the end of his shift and we are upset he didn’t play 16 straight, ya know?

When the bench came in it was a 4 point game in the third quarter and they pushed it to 10 with 5 minutes left in the game. They played really well for that 10 minute stretch.

Mosley gave them the chance to keep extending it or at least maintain it and unfortunately he held on just a little too long and from 6:00 to 3:20 they shaved off 5 points.

I’m fine with starting Suggs, even over Fultz. Defense wins games. But Franz is not a SG. I’d actually either go Caleb or Kevon at SG. Kevon if you really want to make the other team miserable and Caleb if you want a pure shooter (and quick shooter and height to shoot easily). Isaac isn’t totally ready, he still moves a little awkwardly but instincts are still elite. Don’t mind continuing him off the bench.
