Yeah I’ve long thought they should use the ball as the ‘O’ for Orlando and have the ‘M’ drape over it in some kind of ‘magical energy’ shape. Like neon with some stars or something. Something a bit more symmetrical, and less left-to-right vector energy.

like this looks better to me than the off center logo


You guys not fans of those jerseys with like shiny stars during the early Tmac days? Those kinda grew on me

This. As of right now.. esp since Fultz and JI are injured, he needs to realize he is the best player and the future of this team. Demand the ball!!

It’s this over obsession with efficiency that gets me. Not everyone is going to be efficient, they’re aren’t all going to play the same or do the same things nor do they need to. They all bring a different element to the team that can contribute to winning. Even Mo who I’m not high on based on where he was picked. Cole may not be efficient but I’d be comfortable putting the ball in his hands for a last second shot.

I didn't even look up at stats since a trades. But yea, Magic are terrible offensive and defensive team.
Cole Anthony will never be able to defend anybody, he is like Trae Young and Devonte Graham on that side of the floor, very small, t rex arms, can't contest shots, it's harder for pro shooter to shoot over broomstick at practice than over him.

Hampton is prime example why nba should be allow to send players to loans outside nba. He just doesn't belong there, too young, too raw, no control.

Ross figured he can average 20 points a game.
Hampton looks like belongs. He is raw but has been able to produce.

I agree. It seems like he converts at a high rate around the rim, which some players just can't do.
