Official 2023-2024 Magic General Season Thread

[drsd]

I can't bring myself to care about the in-season tournament, but yea it'd be cool to see our young squad advance.

advancing or not, let's just beat Boston!!!!!! Super excited for tomorrow's game, even if we are "due" for an L.

Hoping for a quick Thanksgiving so I can sleep in tomorrow morning and the game gets there sooner.

Happy Thanksgiving Magic fans! I know we are all grateful for how our team is performing

Anything and everything unrelated to winning the title is pointless. For example, in association football (soccer), there is often a 3rd place game. STUPID! It is literally the only game in a tourney that has nothing to do with winning a Championship. Stupid.

As an NBA extension: who "wins" the ASW events is irrelevant to me. Some things might be fun, Mac's dunks last year as a recent example, but: who cares?????

This isnt last season's Celtics team. Porzingis killed us last season, and this will be a tough game for the Magic to win.

I do like that unlike association football these tournament games count towards regular season.

It is good that there is not a semi-final game for the play-ins! (The NBA instead generated a game-83 for the championship; something I am a big fan of). Every game should count towards a title; of some sort.

I like the in season tournament because it makes the early season games more interesting and the money will make the players more interested , especially the knock out rounds

Since the 2012-2013 NBA season, Orlando has not had 1 season where they are ranked 20th or better in Offensive Efficiency rating

We're currently 21st, if we can atleast end up with 20th or better I'll be happy

Adding more shooting at the guards midseason or next offseason will help alot with that

If I was Mosley, Id start Isaac on Friday. Isaac is tailor made to be defending Porzingis. I remember him having him in jail before the injuries.

Goga is approaching 3 to 1 assist to turnover ratio

Naaaah why brake up a good thing. Lets see first what Goga can do.. but im all for benching him early for JI if he gets abused.

[eyriq]

If we win tomorrow, the Raptors beat the Nets on the road, and the Celtics beat the Bulls at home, we win the group outright. First things first, Magic need to handle their business tomorrow. And then I'll be rooting for the Raptors for maybe the first time in my life.

Start him at pg instead when wcj comes back.

I just hope Foster isn't refereeing tomorrow.

watching this back confirms that JI's legs not quite all the way back yet....it's getting there though.....he was moving at this point in time....JI today isn't moving THIS quick but that's okay i think he can get there

[OrlandoFrenchie]

Wow.
Been ages since I last posted here.
I think that was since the Fournier - Vucevic era that had definitly disgusted me from the NBA and the team I love , Orlando.
I have been following in silence for years all the moves .Like a zombie I was wandering in the dark, hoping one day I will enjoy Orlando Magic basketball again.

That day had come.
Big love from France.

I don't live locally so I'm asking this for the posters who are local to the Orlando Metro area

How long do you think the Magic will have to keep this up to get serious buy-in from the city residents? All-star break? Or a full season or 2 of this kinda production?

I don't know, but I feel like some of the RealGM fans should go yell on the street to tell Orlando residents to respect their team, instead of the General Board.
