According to Jason Beede, Paolo only turned one of his ankles. That's a relief, I was worried that he turned both.

So Jalen Suggs clearly has shown he's going to shoot the 3 at about 38-40% year to year. He ain't going anywhere and he's a legitimate factor.

Truth. Core piece. Still curious about health but so far so good

I love the Ingles signing. Admittedly, he’s a “bridge” player for ORL…1 maybe 2 seasons, playing it cool, making smart plays, bringing some crafty vet feistiness. He’s a factor in this run for sure, imo. Cole gives him a lot of credit (and a lot of s**t :lol:

) for putting him in the right places to succeed and Cole has been killing it.

That sucks about the injury. Let's hope Paolo has iron ankles like Franz, otherwise we'll be down 3 starters now. Ridiculous, and right when we're going for the all-time winning streak.

Yeah I saw Paolo limping at one point, but i dont think its too serious. Hopefully he doesnt miss much time.

Suggs highlight video for this game is going to be great :lol:

He should be fine for a while. He's still young. Knows how to play banged up. But the guy is one of the most dynamic young players in the league and knows what it takes to win games (which is so rare).

I would absolutely sit Paolo the next Wizards game on Friday and ideally have him ready to go for the road game in Brooklyn on Saturday.

But if he's fine to play, he's fine to play too.

There's only one solution. It's time to activate... Kevon Harris! 8-)

Assuming Paolo is okay, I expect him to have a big scoring game next time…there’s something about Mosely that makes me more confident that he’ll have them all ready for these “gimme” games that are so dangerous if you get complacent. They count the same as beating Denver, so good teams collect them all. Having young guys probably helps…they don’t want easy days, they want to get after it every night….that’s why they hit the wall sometimes. Defense as a foundation is more reliably counted on…shooting comes & goes…you need both to be truly great…but we’re good and, hopefully, getting better.

The 6 points he scored tonight was the fewest amount of points Paolo has ever scored in a Magic victory.

His previous low in a victory was 11 points last year.

The lowest Franz has ever scored in a victory is 2, but he got hurt right at the beginning of the game. The fewest he's scored in a win where he actually played the whole way is 8.

I hope he's not trying to play on a bum ankle like Franz.

Still more than the 1 point Haliburton scored last season. :lol:

I'll never forget that game as a reminder that even MVP candidates can have bad games.

I was actually thinking Kevon would probably fit well with this year’s hustle & muscle vibe

We're tied for #12 on offense and #3 on defense.
