Yeah. We have to beat Boston by a lot to make up the point differential with Brooklyn. If Brooklyn lose the last game, it won't matter.
We are only 2 points differential behind Brooklyn now. It's Boston point differential that will be tough we are 12 behind so we need to beat them by at least 13 to overtake them.

Incredible win. Complete team victory. This team is definitely finding something. What to do when WcJr comes back is a dilemma and I dunno what to do. But Goga has been outstanding and I dont want to mess with it at all.

Yeah, I think the Raptors need a tougher Dick in order for him to be successful. But give him some time I think Dick will grow.


I don't know why we passed on dick for Jett. Honestly with him and Anthony black it'd be a good draft. Black Dick would be exactly what this team needs.

Black-Dick draft combo, huh? Not sure that's what our team needed, unless we're going in that gay direction in sports.

Paolo and Franz need to be the guys we know they can become but Suggs is the ‘it factor’. If he’s scoring efficiently (his defense is a given), we are a REALLY good team.

Tough, but totally possible. Boston ain't unbeatable.

We just need to use homecourt advantage and play our game. Magic team has the skills and confidence now when we are on that nice winning streak. We have a real chance to upset the Celtics. Magic needs a bit of Turk magic and we'll get it.

I completely agree with this statement. Paolo and Franz are clearly the main guys; however, if Suggs can maintain his current play this team will be great.

Problem is we might need to beat them by more than 13, I forgot they have only played 2 games, they have not played the Bulls yet and that is likely a win for them....smh

I'm really liking Goga and Isaac's interior defense and effort around the rim! It's been amazing to watch!!

I'm thinking when Fultz and WCJ returns, it will probably push Joe Ingles out the rotation!

Ok... im a duke fans as well so im always rooting for wcj. Also.. i support Fultz like I have supported JI through adversity.

However, when they come back 100%, we need to have a discussion about them replacing Black and Goga.

Have you seen our history on injuries? It's not very good. I'm good with the low minutes if we are cruising

Paolo said they approach the in-season game as "one game as a time", focusing on themselves.

Man I am so proud of these guys right now. They’ve kept coming out strong in the first half but now they are keeping their focus in the second half. They’re talented and teachable.

Wendell is a really good starter and stretches the floor. He'll be okay... but with Fultz that will likely be a different story.

I don’t think you realize how important Ingles has been for the magic, he has been absolutely amazing.
