We’re much closer than we deserve to be which is fairly impressive. Cole really settled in at the end of the 2nd and helped the offense get some points on the board. Harris being ice cold from deep is painful. But if they start to fall in the 2nd half we could be right back in it.

[eyriq]

Harris is such a piece of ****

Chill? Harris defense picked up there.

He did at that. Fair point

[Last Guardian]

Safe to say Paolo kept us in it. His defense was pathetic early but it was great in the second quarter

[VFX]

On the fence about watching the second half or going back to work.

[Duke4life831]

That was a nice individual defense by Paolo on Mitchell to end the half. Paolo leaving way too many points at the line this year.

The smarter take is that there are better players that aren’t Fultz that make more sense to be had. You dont want to hear that though.

You're speaking hypotheticals that don't exist. Fultz as you admitted is the best PG option this team has when healthy and that's a fact.

Getting upset with people who are saying we need him back since he's our best option (as admitted by you) makes absolutely no sense and is pretty illogical. You need to get a grip of yourself my man.

Ok JF5. I wonder how many games this season people will keep saying “We need Fultz back”. Dude is perpetually injured with Isaac. Speaking of hypotheticals…

Everyone knows he's injury prone that's also fact. But he's still by far our best PG when he's healthy. So of course youre going to want your best players back when your team needs them ... So I don't understand where this is going

Even though its not the same caliber player. But it's like Pelicans fans being upset for many years that Zion Williamson wasn't playing. You think they shouldn't complain about wanting him back on the court as soon as possible? Come on now

[eyriq]

So... Turnovers and free throws are keeping us within reach I guess?

[ogmagicfan]

I hope it aint too serious if an ankle injury for Suggs, tbh he was so banged up the Magic shouldve rested him for some games.

Suggs is always gonna wanna play because he's an ultimste competitor, that doesnt mean he should play

Can we PLEASE hire the trainer who worked with Curry to fix his weak ankles for our team? Suggs, Paolo, Wagner, & I believe Cole have all been hit by ankle injuries the past couple seasons

[GameOver25]

The threes will start to drop. We just need to play defense like we did in the 2nd quarter. The team probably has been listening and reading about the recent success and slacked up. Time to start grinding again.

How about a trade for Terry Rozier?

Rozier
Suggs
Wagner
Banchero
Bitdaze next year ?

[ogmagicfan]

You know whats crazy, I had a dream that Paolo was gonna go off last night, 40+ pts kinda performance.

Although in the dream I had him making 5-6 3's tonight, although we do have another half of basketball, fingers crossed

[RookieStar]

The annoying thing about our team is like we'll miss 8 free throws, not hit a three, Franz will be 0-8 and it's still winnable yet those holes shouldn't be there in the first place

Not to.mention down 4 key rotational guys

[ORLMagicGirl15]

I know this is a hard game but to see Paolo and Franz’ leaps have been so cool to watch. To see Paolo learn to be a scoring closer and learning to be a playmaking closer really excite me about our future.

[Last Guardian]

Paolo has been shooting 3’s great but he’s not taking them anymore lol. Maybe he started bricking all of them in practice?

[ogmagicfan]

For everyone clammoring to see more Anthony Black on ball action, well with Suggs being out, you might just get your wish

[eyriq]

I really really want Suggs to stay healthy.

[richi_v25]

That's crazy we went from last to first in free throw attempts and it was mostly thanks to PB, that's the only reason we're not getting totally blown out right now.

He’s better than a rookie. Cool. Super high bar to clear there for a guy 7 years in the league. Cole is coming off the bench, that’s been obvious in this run.

Unfortunately your availability matters and that doesn’t absolve you of criticism when you game also doesn’t compliment your core guys.

Magic go 0-10 from 3 and I’m having a conversation in a game thread about why Fultz of all players need to be out there LMFAO.

You know what Rozier fits this team. I like that lineup actually. He can score, not really a playmaker but capable, and he won't get in the way of Paolo/Franz development.
