We thought we were winning bc of Paolo then when he went down we thought it Franz but it turns out it was Mo all along.

I feel like people dont appreciate him because his defense is not the best that clouds their judgement. He is an important part of this team.

Better start Cole in the 3rd or else.
Suggs is done this game, like Chevy Chase in Caddyshack

Many posters on here are so unrealistic after losing 3 of our top 4 contributors and Suggs having a right hand injury. We need to start sitting guys, let them get 100%. If we miss the playoffs this year, so be it. We certainly wont do anything in them with everyone at 75% if we make dudes play through injury and return early.

I’m not the biggest fan of his when he’s not playing alongside JI to help clean up his defensive woes but his offense is absolutely crucial to this offensively inept team.

Paolo and Franz being out made Moe 10x more important.

Suggs in foul trouble takes out our 4 top points getters. AB is also a creator being out is just a disaster.

Do you expect us to have 4 rookies on the roster next season? Because we have 4 picks if we don’t trade some of them.

Radio announcers reported that Suggs was out there playing without the use of his right hand... Is that incorrect?

What happened to Suggs? I thought he just went out due to fouls?

Has Mosley thrown in the towel already?

Suggs should get right of course, I'm saying holding guys like Paolo and Franz out 4 more months than what they would normally come back from this injury and then an entire summer by "resting" them

I think it's how he scores. Mostly going to the basket. If it was stepback 3s and cooler looking buckets we would think he's better. The fact is he was arguably the most effective bench scorer not just on the Magic, but in the entire NBA.

25 points per 36 on a 65 TS%

6 MOTY favorite Pritchard is at 19 per 36 on a 64 TS%. Deandre Hunter is probably in 2nd with virtually the same per minute stats as Mo. And I'm sure the Magic play at a slower pace than those teams, so even more impressive.
