You are going to miss a generational Paolo game


Love how the generational is ambiguous :lol:


Paolo certainly cleared up the ambiguity! Generational indeed!

Orlando is just a completely different team at home. Like.. night and day difference.


They played great in Miami , Memphis was a tough back to back and also Memphis had a little extra juice being their home opener

KCP drive at the end of clock and pass to WCJ for the dunk were very refreshing, still can't make 2s so far

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.

Magic were under 500 on the road last season, it would be awsome to win 25 game on the road all season

KCP has shown me very little.

Harris isn’t even trying. Cold is a disaster. But we already knew that. 3.5 games isn’t nearly enough for me to consider him a bad signing, but early returns aren’t great.


As a Magic fan I hope I eat crow later but nah he sucks, should have used that money on an actual shooter not a guy that "used" to shoot. That drive to the rim was nice but the Pacers are also super tired from the b2b so I'm not sold just yet.

Gotta keep the killer instinct the 2nd half. Cant force Paolo the ball, he will get his touches and chances for sure. But I'd still love a 50 piece lmao

It was just a redundant signing tbh. Gary Harris already exists. There were other concerns. It’s just hard to justify when the guy is 2/14 from 3.

Need more stops, man we are really missing JI......were missing some of our defensive edge.... When JI sends a shot into the front row it gives the team energy and makes the opps think twice driving into the paint

Cole better have a good second half because if not it will be every game he's been bad

I loved Suggs doing EVERYTHING he could to get the ball in Paolos hands late second. Thats a good teammate. But just imagibe if Cole was out there. He woulda thrown up 5 threes of his own trying to make it the Cole and Paolo show and Paolo would go cold.

Thats the difference between a good teammate and a bad one.

I wonder what Indy’s defensive game plan will be the 2nd half. Let’s hope they go back to single coverage on Paolo.

In any event, we need to spam the hell out of the Paolo/Suggs 2-man game. Clear out the floor and see if they would rather leave Suggs open from deep or single cover Paolo.
