It was at 11:25 of the second quarter when Miller fouled Franz hard. I don't think Franz had scored before that. At 9:44 of the 2nd quarter, Miller was talking more after a foul.

By the time Melo got injured we had already taken the lead.

We're 1-2 when Issac doesn't play, and we're giving 117 ppg.

His knee/ankle/whatever probably need the time off after getting hit by Horford.

Joe Ingles pushed Horford into Isaac.

it wasnt Ingles. Horford was trying to box out Mo. At first i thought Horford flopped but looking at it more closely it looks like he stepped on Mo's foot and tripped. watch around 7:30 mark

Loved this game. The Cole Anthony resigning feels like one of the most important ones for the next several years. And Franz and Paolo are firmly in alpha mode with Fultz and Carter out.

For the first time I can remember, there is no one on this team who I question their contribution. Everyone has a role and they play it well. I do worry about what will happen when Fultz and Carter come back, but I guess that is sweating the small stuff. Good game, everyone!

And lastly, wish it was Bridges getting hurt instead of Ball. Nothing I dislike more than seeing Bridges back in the league.

The way he’s playing right now I’m OK with his wild occasional dumbass plays. Like the five on one fast break he tried to do tonight

Mosely said they held out Isaac as a precaution. So it doesn’t sound serious. It also sounds like it was the team's decision. Isaac was suited up for the whole game on the bench.

Well yeah that little **** head Ball is their best player. Probably thinks Franz is too white to be good just like C his prick daddy

Cole Anthony is now 2nd in the NBA in total points scored off the bench.

Great win!! I was worried about Charlotte, they are sneaky dangerous.

Now Washington is awful. We still cant take them lightly because its still the NBA and anyone can beat anyone, but if Im Mosley, I am definitely resting Suggs and maybe someone else.

I missed the game and it's bed time. Fortunately the NBA has the perfect highlight video for me:

hello people, hope you enjoyed your weekend as much as i did lol

Last time Magic started with 12-5 record was on January 24th, 2011 ( so damn long ago that i was still "minor" by US laws :rofl:

)

Btw by boy Cole now officially walked into serious 6th man conversation.

Box score thoughts:

Orlando won the FG% battle and won the game

Orlando had more FG attempts because of a mildly positive TO ratio and offensive rebounding differential. But this game was won because of elite FT opportunities, and an OK'ish percentage that led to a made FT differential of 10. Those extra FTs was essentially the reason the Magic won this game.
