We did beat them with their two all-star on a Paolo game winner a few weeks ago.

sure, my point being that this game was a lot harder than it needed to be... it's fine though. A road win is a road win.

On a second night of a back to back, where we got a defense masterclass from the Clippers the night before and Paolo playing like he did tonight, I will take it.

Atlanta's schedule is certainly easier down the stretch. They still play the Jazz, Nets and Sixers, so it's very likely they'll get at least three more wins for a minimum of 39.

Realistically... the Magic are probably going to have to beat the Hawks in both games (and the Wizards) to get the 7 seed in the play in.

The Magic are now 7-4 with CoJo as the starter these last 11 games... that's how badly the Magic need a real PG. Imagine if the Magic had a legit starting level PG and not an end-of-the-bench PG that is forced to start...

not going to complain about a road win on the latter half of a back to back.......though there are many things to clean up....one thing i have to say....we really have an 11 man rotation huh? heading into the post-season?

I believe you’ll find that’s called a committee. In some instances a family.

Cheer for Dallas tomorrow if you want that 7 seed in the play in.

Paolo was complete trash until the fourth, good thing they won.

Read on Twitter

it's crazy at times we can't create shots for these guys....for some reason we don't know what flares, floppy or pindowns are apparently

Few things happened tonight:
We are unofficially eliminated from direct playoffs, Bucks would have to go 0-7 with us going 5-0 to make it.

Hawks lost, they have 7 games left, 3 vs playin teams ( twice vs us), 1 vs team that can't go anywhere ( Knicks ) and 3 vs tankers

With this L Spurs locked 8th worst record and probability of 26,2% of drafting top 4 (6,0% in hunt for Flagg). Well, at least they won't need to start Biyombo after this season :lol:

God, if they win lottery again, with Castle, Victor, Flagg they will be dynasty again.

As for us, Celtics nor Pacers should have no stakes in games vs us. In theory, Celtics might chase official 60 wins season. Pacers really can't go up nor down, maybe in theory, not very probable in reality.

You know regular season is over when Thib only plays Hart 32 in a game :rofl:

What: not a fan of Biyombo outplaying Carter?

Boxscore thoughts:

Orlando lost the FG% battle but won the game. How.

Higher FGAs. And that was do to a huge TO-differential (Orlando -7), coupled to a rebounding edge (+4). That's 11 extra possession!

Coach loves this path towards winning, we can all be sure of that.

Damn…nice to wake up to a win. I didn’t even realize there was a game…I was on a plane.

Yeah, I didn't realize how many vets the Spurs had. Bismack, Barnes, Paul, that's like 50 seasons between the three.

In Naples, Italy now working on HOW FAT CAN I GET MYSELF, during this game.

(actually losing weight; giving walking around, etc.) Bad DAMN the BAD pizza is life changing. Went to "world's bet pizza" for 2024 and 2023, holy ****.
And for €10 only. Total bill for "world's best" was €20.

My only "cost" I left my car in Germany to get here. Hope it is still there when I get back so I can drive to the UK!!!!!
