This is just beautiful on every level.

AD held to 3 points on 1/9 shooting

I wouldn't put too much into that, dude simply doesn't want to be there and is showing in his play. Just doesn't care.

Please God can we finally beat the hornets!

[tiderulz]

for those that watched the game. I see that Isaac was 7-18. not worried about the %, did he look confident in his shots? was it forced or herky jerky? starting to look more fluid in his shooting? was it all outside or did he try to drive?

Really glad about the win. But holy hell, I've never seen a star player just absolutely throw a game like AD did tonight. What a pathetic performance. I don't know how he can look any of his teammates in his eye after that performance. Lacks a ton of professionalism.

Isaac's shooting leaves a lot to be desired, but I'm glad he's taking them and being active. When he's aggressive, good things generally happen. Everyone was solid aside for Ross. Again, can't takeaway more given just how much a mess the Pelicans are. Only 1.5 back of the 8 seed.

He looked confident. He missed some early ones, but more importantly, he kept shooting.

I'm not worried about his shot. The percentage will come. He can get off his shot anytime he wants. He has the ability to be a prolific scorer, so I think it will benefit him getting used to volume and having the green light to jack em up.

The resurgence of Jonathan Isaac is the reason why we are playing so well these last 7 games. He is starting to come into his role. When he hits those 3s at a 35%+ rate, its over.

When all is said and done, there is no reason why he shouldn't become the best player on this team. He has all the tools, and I'm still treating this like it's his rookie season.

I don't care how many makes JI had, 18 shots is a good thing in and of itself.

after tonight the magic's point differential is -1.7... a month ago it was at -4.3.

He looked confident but he still has work to be done on his release imo. I'm fine with his numbers tonight, most of his misses were on open shots that he needs to be taking to keep the defense honest. He only had 1 3pt attempt that i would question and say was forced the rest needed to be attempted. Right now i don't see him as needing to become an elite 3pt guy, he just needs to be able to hit the wide open ones enough that it forces the d to come out and he can drive on them if needed, the way he's driven from the corner and gone under the basket for layups has been really nice and those kinds of moves should be his bread and butter auto points in my book right now.

A couple of his threes rolled out, but for the most part he looked confident and was aggressive. Handle on his drive needs to get better but he has finished well lately. Also fights really hard on O rebounds.

The Pelicans reminded me of the Magic in years past where a blowout appeared inevitable and I would turn off the TV in the 2nd quarter to avoid the pain. They were completely disinterested and gave a pathetic effort.

Nevertheless, the Magic took full advantage of the Pelicans lethargy and never played down to their level of effort. Our team never let down and truly look to be hungry to squeeze into the 8th seed.

It was so nice to be on the opposite side watching the Magic step on the throat of a team that looked like they didn’t want to be there. Cliff has done an excellent job with this group and is exceeding expectations!

[Nightman]

A player’s FT% is usually a pretty good indication of their shooting potential, Isaac shooting 86% is a really good sign, even if the outside shots aren’t falling right now.

Team looks really focused right now, maybe we can finally get a damn win against the Hornets before the ASB

Wowwwwwwwww

All these are remarkable. Goes to show how bad this team has been and how well they are playing compared to that.

[Optimus_Steel]

I just want to beat this annoying ass Hornets team we seemingly never beat.

Average team that has beaten us like 13 times in a row and just about all blowouts. Totally unacceptable, time to change it.

[BadHombre]

Interesting to see that the moment the team starts showing some signs of life, a lot of the Negative Nancy voices disappear.

Weak ass fans. Can’t even support their own team or acknowledge them when they do good.

Expected win (hey thanks betting houses for unrealistic odds) , Pelicans are mess . They wanted to sit Davis but nba told them that the'll fine them $100 000 for every game he sits.

Overall BEATDOWN!! Game was over after 26 min. Impressive.
Where is guy who said Vuc will now play like a** since he is officially allstar?
Even Evan menaged to have great game.
4 starters scored 20 points.
