Magic-ball can be effective but it is certainly ugly

Giving up rebounds on missed FTs is HS basketball.

He’s a two way and he is not eligible to play in the post season. Also, he played in the championship game last night.

it's a style only a fan of the team can appreciate... and even then, it's tough to watch.
That said, when the 3 is falling at a good clip, the magic look like contenders

I'm not going to pretend watching many Magic game but the first time I caught them this year they were drilling 3s and all I thought was this team is amazing.

The Hawks just look very outmatched out there,even more so without Jalen Johnson. It doesn't help the Magic are looking elite on defense.

Aside, I'm convinced if Atlanta had strong management they would be a massive free agent draw for players who want to live in the south,

Who’s your team? We don’t drill many 3s.
