Yup. And not having to run point.

When this team is healthy, even with its flaws it’s still looking like a playoff squad. This is the team we say in November but even healthier. Let’s hope this is the start of building that record back up and getting everyone playing there best.

Black with another offseason of training will improve his strength and ball-handling to be an everyday player. He has a strong base but feel like he can get moved around a bit too easily.

It was so pleasing seeing Miami struggle to get anything going. They were pressing, staggering because we suffocated them.

Mosley still toying with those deep minutes to give everyone some burn. Except Goga. Maybe it’s his turn out?

Good reminder of how good this team can be tonight.

Orlando is a much different team at home than away

When our defense is on we are just as entertaining to watch as any blistering offensive team in the league.

Now if we could have both…

"Yeah was not the magic defense. The heat offense was getting good looks, just could not convert them." heat reddit copium lol, they had like 6-7 24 second violations

Magic D locked them up hard

This is the best rotation the Magic can run right now.

I love what Goga provided, but Carter is clearly better and they definitely need Moritz's scoring if Isaac is healthy and able to cover him defensively.

Now just figure out a way to upgrade the Fultz slot using expirings and picks (and MAYBE one of Jett/Houstan if it's major upgrade) and we're really cooking with gas.

A good problem to have.

Yeah... as much as i liked Gogas defense and his offensive boards, i like a C that dunks through traffic

Spoelstra bad coach. No offense, **** rotations, should probably be replaced when they're ready to compete.

Sorry, just had to do this

Nice to be healthy and motivated to play defense again.

I think Goga and Mo will depend on the matchup. Miami is not big at all so playing Mo made sense tonight. Against more physical C's Goga would make more sense.

Post #259 » by **SOUL** » Mon Jan 22, 2024 1:49 am

Goga may play tomorrow if Isaac isn't because of a B2B.

WCJ starter, Goga backup C, Moe PF.

This wcj is cool, I just want to see from him consistent effort on the glass.... 9 rebounds tonight should be the norm....in the past too many sub 8 rebound games.... From a center that's unacceptable
