Offensively, WCJ, KCP, and AB played well above what they typically give us. Gary deserves credit for his defense too.

We can't win a series, but we sure can put on a fight on both Cavs or Boston.
I don't think ether would be thrilled to have us out of the playin.

Effort just doesn't take a lot of talent.

If the Magic can play with this level of effort the rest of the season, which is a lot closer to what they showed the first 2.5 months than the last 2.5 months, they can win a bunch of the games left on their schedule.

Damn, good win! That was a nice 4th Q. AB with back to back 3’s to give the team the lead with 7 minutes to go was a highlight.

This needs contexts. Adding shot attempts would be nice. If the volume isn't there, these stats really aren't significant. Black really hasn't played well for a while.

Yeah, volume just isn't there to make a conclusion just based off stats. We are talking about 3 FGM, 1 3pm, and 2 free throws. Watching him he hasn't played well.

damn... they gave Paolo a missed three on that throw ahead at the end of the game. That obviously wasn't a shot attempt.

This Cavs team won't win the championship. I don't say that just because they lost today. Everybody's gotta lose sometimes, and they haven't lost many this season. No, I say it because I don't think they're serious enough. Things have gone right for them this year without too much adversity. They spend way too much time grandstanding and showing off. When a good team really comes at them in the playoffs, I see them crumbling.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I thought this was one of KCP's best games of the season. He looked energetic defensively. Make a big clutch 3 and two clutch FTs late too.

Whenever AB is making those corner 3s it gives Magic a huge lift. This one reminded me Paolo's 50 points Pacers game, when AB shooting sealed it as well.
