Crazy how sabonis can drive his shoulder into and break our guys nose and probably give him a concussion with no call

Not having Mo or even WCJ in to space floor on offense in OT is inexcusable.

Not having command of the situation—clearly was gonna call a TO after Fox FT but let it go only to call it with less than 4 seconds left…

Love the guy as a leader but has zero ability to scheme.


WCJ has no business in this game. Frankly he was the reason we lost, multiple botched plays on both ends to end the 4th when we had a chance to take it. We needed Gogas defense/rebounding, and WCJ was just a **** zombie out there watching the action.

After the rolling hook 2 feet away from the basket he missed, was taken out for the rest of the game. Cold start since the injury for sure. He ain't at 100%

Completely disagree with this post.

The offensive foul was done after Paolo got the rebound and it was a foul.

Goga's defense saved the magic in overtime. Honestly, Goga should haven in there in the fourth.

There's a reason Sabonis regresses into a 4th-5th option on offense in the playoffs and can't manage to stay out of foul trouble. He plays dirty, does alot of sneaky foul, pushes alot. Overall he's just a **** player

Franz and Gary both left with injuries.


The one game of the year Harris looked decent to start he gets injured, watch him go back to street clothes for the next month or more.

On the bright side. It's not when we have a super star. We have one. Dude literally was our entire offense.

We just need to get healthy and we are a playoff team. Get us a guy that can mix well with franz/P5, and we could be a contender.

The growing pains hurt but it's gonna be so satisfying when the Magic start learning how to consistently close out teams when they have the lead in clutch situations.

Wow what a game to miss…

And then everyone starts shooting well and can’t close it out. Shame.

Double OT on a second night of a back to back west coast trip is already difficult, so it’s good to see they hung around despite a zillion injuries as usual.

Win or lose, we still have two star wings and a bunch of pieces that the front office needs to sort out.

Both teams were on the 2nd game of a back to back and by the middle of 2OT both teams looked completely out of any energy

Not trashing WCj, he's one of my favorite players but i still think we should have had Goga in to finish out the 4th bc of the defense he brings.
