We're gonna need more shooting from both Fultz & Paolo to open up our offense. Neither with a made 3 to start the season

Suggs was on one tonight man....If he can keep playing like this and can keep the fouls to a minimum it might not be crazy to say all defense......

Not only that but we struggle playing in Portland historically. We earned the win despite not closing it out pretty. Take it and keep improving.

Bruh this is going to be the first 82-0 team. Sooner you accept it the more relaxed you'll be watching

This team was not very good on the road last year so these development steps of grinding out away wins against lesser opponents are necessary for growth.

Funny enough, the Magic are now 3-0 in Portland under Mosley.

Portland played better than most people on this board anticipated. They are athletic and played hard being their home opener, and they do have capable players. People were acting like this was a Bobcats team from like 12 years ago.
