Why you say that?
I remember earlier in the season, he was talking about how he had a girlfriend now. Then, just now, he said he's going through some stuff off the court.

He did look teary eyed on that interview

Glad we got the win. It looked bleak in the third. My advice to Coach Mosely…play Goga every game. Only good things happen when that guy plays. Even if he doesn’t start.

I only caught the last 4 minutes of the 4th and boy did i luck out, Go Magic. Side note do players make more money if they go to OT since it's "over time" like us normal folks?

IMO Cole was put there because he is good at hunting rebounds, thanks god he managed to contribute with some clutch shots too, but still this is clearly a half glass full/empty kind of win. Some good things and then again stale offense and plenty of TO's. How many timeclock violations we got?

If Carter hadn't come back before the trade deadline and shot the lights out for a month, I think there's a real chance he would have been moved.

Because they're big dudes i forget they're young and basically kids in their early 20's, those are serious problems to have at that age. Whatever it is bounce back homie we need you.

IDK, Wendell usually owns the Bulls. Like a pretty decent sample size too.

Didn't have it tonight. I like yanking him if he's ineffective versus bruisers, but we did see Goga get exploited a bit too and our offense crumble a bit. But we need him in matchups like this to get big rebounds, D up, and finish plays. I think we have a staple of bigs who are not amazing at one thing (besides Isaac), but can play diff matchups.

He could be having his first big heartbreak.

That'll will mess you up for a while, it's a growing step in life though.

I think Wendell is still working himself back in.

Franz with 36/3/5
Paolo with 19/7/8

Just a crazy good core

I know Paulo and franz are the main guys here but I feel like this team will go as far as JI defense can take it. Just a whole different team with him in vs out. Hopefully he stays healthy and can play big minutes
