What he has done the last two games given all the injuries has been simply amazing. He is definitely deserving of a spot.

His shooting has really turned the corner. I remember when everyone was crapping on him just 3 years ago. Now look at him... turning himself into a very nice 2 way player.
There was progress, tbh. Most just refused to believe.

Paolo over the last 5 games:

6.6apg
1.2spg
0.6bpg
on 46/42/78 splits
Glimpses of prime Paolo?

Lost in the insanity of Paolo is just how much Suggs has stepped up with Franz out these past two games. I would absolutely love if this spell with Franz out lit an offensive fire in Suggs that never goes out.
I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times…we win when Mo Wagner gets a lot of minutes. He fills a scoring need for this team and hustles like a man possessed.
These past two games have been such a joy to watch. Cheers fellow Magic fans.

I don't know, man. I was surprised to hear how he spoke in that clip above. I remember hearing about this earlier but it seemed like he had turned a corner. It sounds like he's taking it one day at a time.

His will to succeed is beyond admirable. It’s insanely hard to pivot one’s style of play AFTER they make it to the nba, and to do it while the media is calling you a draft bust I can’t imagine. You can tell his teammates genuinely love him too, which means he didn’t let his shortcomings in the game ruin his relationships on the court.
Paolo, Suggs, Cole and Franz are looking like a majorly strong core. How the team surrounds them is going to be the difference between being a consistent middle of the pack team or a title contender. This trade deadline is a great chance to leverage all these expirings we have. Throw out any name except for the four above (and maybe Mo Wagner for his relationship with his brother) to get a stronger supporting cast and it’ll make a world of difference.

Tonight's result seems to support my deep-seated intuition that Mo is an objectively better player than Wendell or Goga and should be starting.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

Moe showing he can play defense without Isaac, need him to continue that!! Like Mose told Paolo and Franz, "You snitched on yourself by showing you can do it during FIBA"..
Weirdly enough, whatever is happening with the roster is showing us how vital it is to hit threes.. maybe not at a historic rate but floor spacing is very important.
That's why I didn't freak out that Suggs was shooting a bunch of threes prior to this hot stint - they were open.. we need someone to take volume shots
Still gotta get into our bread and butter offense which is getting inside and getting to the rim but the toll that takes on the body just isn't possible through the whole season

I cant take this anymore. I finally had hope. We could freefall in the standings quickly.
I watched and Im so proud, everyone stepped up.
I really wish they couldve had a better record this roadtrip. I hope the guys arent out much longer. It was nice to get this win but we need our guys back.
Play Jase or Trade for Alvarado

I would imagine most players feel like this at one point or another. These are regular people but playing a game in front of many people, getting criticized for all sorts of things.

Noticed the large superfan and his wife were in Denver for the game, they got to experience this live. Good for them.

I’ve been out working on the grieving thing guys, but I wanted to come back and say I’m so proud of this team! Easily could’ve been a much better road trip
