We're at a 61% clip over the last 23 games against mostly playoff teams

Often with the opponent missing a key player/s , but still it's been exciting, a sensation i havent felt around Orlando for too many years to count...

Orlando has missed a ton of key players as well.

Of course, but we lost a lot of games then, just like some of these teams are doing.

It's not to diminish the excitement or the clear progress the team is making. Its just context.

To make the jump, we need to pass better, defend better and rebound better.

I'm saying that Orlando didn't have some players as well as the opponent. Pacers won 2 games from us when we were down 5 people: JI, Paolo, WCJ, Harris, and Moe Wagner. on Nov. 19th, which was a second night of a back to back. Our starting 5 for that game was: Okeke, Bol, Bamba, F. Wagner, J. Suggs. The Pacers played a whole different Magic team yesterday. If Pacers can celebrate those two wins, then I'm celebrating this one without an asterisk.

I agree with what you said about our passing and rebounding. However yesterday we set a season record for assist.

WCJs lack of points is interesting. He is steady but not flashy? He's definitely a difference maker, plus minus backs that up.

There is a reason why I generally never say anything bad about him, or his position. He is, for all intents and purposes, deserving of being a starting center. Is he top 10 good? No, if I look at it by the numbers probably not. There is an "IT" factor that he seems to have.

He does everything we ask of him on offense and plays defense. So I am good. Solid starter.
