Are the Orlando Magic a dirty team?

[AussieBuck]

Has been bad blood since Rookie seasons. Mo Wagner in particular besides being a goon towards all has always been extra aggressive and provocative towards Kat.



He has had like 4-5 different jerseys facing Kat and every time he acts like its this vicious huge local rivalry in a game 7 in finals, and his contract will be rescinded after game if he doesn't get under Kats skin.

KAT ain't a fight back kinda guy, no reason for Mo to adjust the goon stuff. Giannis ended up suspended for headbutting Wagner and now they seem relatively ok on court. He doesn't go at Portis either lol

kat def is a fight back guy from what i’ve seen lol. he’s even came to blows with embiid when he was in minny

I probably mis-remembered that one as Embiid taking him down and turning it into an MMA fight.

kat and mo wagner have had some absolute battles this year, some definite bad blood

Kat kinda fights back, but in an emotional and semi insecure way that may effect his game, he feels he has to dish back cuz he has undeserved bad rep as "soft" round the league since the Butler incident.

Its why goons like Mo Wagner wanna target him, they realise he is an elite 3 level scoring offensive player, and anything that may distract him or make him get in foul or tech trouble is just a bonus.

Soooo.... DET really thinks ORL are dirty after watching that IND game? Lol

I mentioned it before, but Beef Stew is dirty, it's just funny the few (not all) Pistons fans that were on their high horse while looking away while one of the dirtiest players in the NBA dons their jersey.

Detroit came out extra motivated to bully the Magic the other night.

The Magic unaware, came out and played like they normally do and bullied Detroit and went about their day haha.

You need to learn the difference between an intentional blow and an accident. No, the severity of the injury caused is not the more important aspect to focus on. Y'all wanna complain about accidents while your players are out here acting like MMA fighters.

So every injury that occurs in the NBA is because of another player being dirty? There's got to be hundreds of dirty players then. Including your Pistons. The difference again is that you actually have a dirty player in Beef Stew. The Magic have 0.

Yeah, those two dives from Cole were definitely reckless. The one on Ivey was defendable, those two seemed like frustration due to getting our asses kicked non stop lately. But if they played harder and better than you wouldn't put yourself in that position to begin with. You can't just go diving at people legs just because you're frustrated.

He’s lucky he didn’t blow out his knee. How many season ending injuries do we need to have?

The first one is maybe a bit reckless, the second one is just a hustle play. Funny that some Detroit fans still worship the badboys but whine about those kind of plays..

To answer the question: no, the Magic are not a dirty team. They play physical and defend with passion. I rather play them than the Beef Stews, the Joel Embiids or the James Hardens of the world.
