Everyone keeps hyping up Isaac as some generational defender but I haven't seen anything special from him this game.

Its baffling to me that the Magic did nothing to address such a glaring hole.

There was a Magic poster arguing with me that their guards are fine early in the season. Maybe thats the teams viewpoint?


If it's not addressed this offseason its definitely a problem, but for now it's kinda just whatever. It allowed us to see Suggs was a keeper but everyone else is pretty expendable.
Suggs is a pitbull, love his game, but is he a lead guard?

He seems perfect coming off the bench, but still playing 30+mpg.

Gonna be interesting to see what they do this offseason for sure.

If the ball is going round like Cleveland has been able to do all game thus far, Orlando just doesn't have the offense to keep up. Banchero up to 5 turnovers already, sheesh.

They didn't learn sh*t from the butt kicking the Knicks gave them last season.


Are you even Watching this game

Yes I am. I am seeing fake tough guys trying to over compensate and 'prove they're tough' and letting the Magic play mind games with them just like the Knicks did.

What ever mind games you think the Magic are playing, it ain't working boss.

He's 100% a starter.

But need a scoring guard next to him, whether it's a PG or SG. Need more out of that position scoring wise.

Markelle Fultz is such a bust. He shouldn’t even be in the league yet Orlando paid him an overpaid contract lol.

Not sure if this makes me sexist but I feel the commentators are putting me to sleep. Anyone else find something that's making this game not seem super entertaining or is it just me? Lol

What happened to Franz's shot? The Cavs aren't guarding him when he doesn't have the ball.

Hes shooting 28% this season. No clue how he went so backwards on his 3 point shot.

No, they are terrible, period.

This was a problem last year with espn. So many of them sound so low energy including JJ Reddick. I didn’t care to listen to him either. He had no enthusiasm when it’s the playoffs.
