2024-2025 Regular Season Game 73: Orlando Magic (34-38) at Charlotte Hornets (18-53) - 7pm

This was a very nice win against a Cha team that played hard on a road back to back. Crazy its been that long we have won 3 in a row.

Everybody at least is raising their trade value the last few weeks.

[Black and Blue]

Really great to see the fight from the youngsters today. Caleb and AB being aggressive should be a mandate from the coaches.

To be honest any game where KCP doesn’t shoot much is a win in my book. I expect all of his shots to be bricks at this point.

I’m bullish on Da Silva but he has definitely hit the rookie wall hard. He should be on the bench unless absolutely necessary.

Minus the fact he's been shooting 50% from the field and 40% from three since the all star break.

Yes, he has been better this back half but was so abysmal that first half of the season it’s not like it can be erased. He is barely over 30% at three for the season, which is where we needed him most. I’d much rather we give those attempts to the kids in AB and Caleb to see if we can work with something long term and allow KCP to focus on D.

Is this what a winning streak feels like?

My goodness. The injures this year has been brutal. Praying for him to heal up.

What are these NBA players taking that is causing clots?

I think it’s the plane flights to be honest. I’m a tall guy and always have it in mind that plane flights in a condensed period of time can be problematic. These guys are taking a zillion and are way taller than me.

Do pilots and flight attendants get these?


I read that injuries along with prolonged sitting in tight spaces along with dry air from the plane increases the risk.

Need more deets, can't just drop hints like that.

Got to see the vision with AB, it's taking a bit longer but bit by bit he's starting to string together some decent basketball.......off topic but is the site looking different? i've been on the app for a minute i come back to the site and i don't remember what it looked like

[basketballRob]

Caleb can find a niche if he can consistently shoot over 40%.

Looked slightly different in my safari browser on my iPhone. Quotes are scrollable inbedded quote windows instead of full pages, which is a great refresh.

Not sure if the board looks diff on a computer cos I rarely check it on my computer.

Another banger by one AB. Where are the haters this evening?

They converted for sure by now

I'm getting back, almost there. All I asked is for him to be aggressive which he's been.

His stinkers are going to hurt though, we don't have the depth to survive bad AB games.

How do you play 30 minutes as a "point guard" and log 0 assists?

And y'all say Cole is a ballhog

[pepe1991]

Took him near 3 years, but it seems like Mosley finally figured out that you can't play more than 9 men in serious basketball league at once.

i don't even know how to feel about late Ws. Like, if you have to choose, playing Cavs is way easier first round match up than Celtics. Celtics will just steamroll through you with elite defense and 3 point barrage that we can't match.

And they tend to be bit shaky at home, at least in regular season, but they are best road team in nba. Needless to say they are defending champions and at least to me, and betting houses, still runaway favorite to win again.

lillard is small and they have better planes than we use.

Players take too much meds
