That the ref took forever on the second one was embarrassing. Almost missed two obvious calls within seconds.

It falls off a cliff every other year. He's just missing wide open looks

Orlando GM got to be fired. That offense is unnaceptable and even with Suggs injured, starting CoJo is pathetic and he is their best shooter. WTF.

Orlando are a couple of pieces away from being serious contenders tho, and they should've gotten at least one piece this deadline.

This game will be 5 1/2 hours with all the whistles, isn't it?

Silver loves the extra commercials and the score going up is 'good for the game'

Someone remind Banchero he is big and strong and mean like a bull...

Orlando has too many non-shooters on the floor. Zero spacing right now. Everything is a brick. Hard to watch.

I get "playoff refereeing" is a thing but the zebras are literally just letting Orlando do whatever.

I was sure Anfernee Simons was going to the Magic at the deadline. The guy is from the area and named after Penny fkn Hardaway. It was a perfect fit

The Magic try to attack Trae but end up with a midrange shot from Paolo. Such a poorly constructed roster.

Counter run from the Magic in the 4th for the double digit victory. Already winning the Hawks -1.5 3Q bet so i don’t care about this game LOL.

Unless i get this really value Magic ML bet. LOL

You seen an optometrist lately? Or do you not understand what causes blood to leave the body?

Who wins?
