I like Franz and Chuma playing together. When Isaac comes back I'd like to see a lineup of Suggs, Franz, Chuma, Isaac, and WCJ.

JT and Steele are pushing hard to make Franz the player of the month.

Great to get Cole Anthony and Wendell Carter back tonight.

Let's Go Magic!

So happy to see WCJ back so quickly, great to have Cole back as well, meaning we'll be able to sprinkle more starters among the bench mob

Go Magic!

Chumas shot mechanics just don't seem consistent atm, I swear he was on the way down when he let that 3 go

Cole steps on court and Magic’s defense instantly degraded.

Has Franz even attempted a shot yet?

Cole is playing like trash

Watch out. The Cole fan-brigade will be waiting to see if he can turn it around… then bash you for this post

I will give Cole credit for 4 assists.

That's OK; i'll be in bed by then.

Franz looks fatigued out there

Is that some sort of leather Santa Claus vest that Markelle is wearing? lol

He hasn't been shy to let it fly lately. I think he has settled for too many jumpers lately. Not even trying to get paint touches.

wow our offense is horrendous so far. can’t get any looks since the starters subbed out. additionally wagner stayed in quite long but got buried in the corner, so hassani the bum can handle the ball. good stuff!

Suggs and Fultz may be back soon.

Now that we’re playing an NBA team tonight (a bad one but one that has some decent starters available), the warm and fuzzy feelings of winning are nowhere to be found
