Do yourself a favor and look at who is creating and bumping these threads.


The Magic fans have beef with everyone...

Paolo vs. Chet
Scottie vs. Franz (my personal favorite)
Suggs vs. Derrick White
Franz vs. Giddey


I’m glad I can stop picking fights about Giddey tbh

Suggs vs. Scottie started it all. During Suggs' first year, the crowd in Toronto taunted Suggs with Scottie is better chants.

The newest one is Cade vs. Franz.

No sht. Give me the names of the people who made this comparison. That's wild.

There were plenty of threads comparing them during their rookie seasons. Just go back and read through the 2024 ROY thread

The Magic fans that do post here try and defend our guys because we know people don’t watch them and some of the takes are horrible.

Most Magic fans stay on the Magic board and cause no trouble here.

This is generally true. You get the odd take overrating Paolo, which is a pretty normal thing for a fanbase to do with its focal player, and otherwise? Very chill. It's kinda nice, honestly.

The original claim was not regarding Paolo’s efficiency or defense. The poster is stating that Chet was better than Paolo because Paolo wasn’t in the finals and Chet is which is basically pointless considering the fact Chet is in the finals only because he plays on a better team with an MVP, lol.

Honestly, both players went to the right team. Chet would be a terrible fit in Orlando, from as you can see from the playoffs, he is not a go to guy as of yet and doesn’t really create for others which Paolo does.


That was not at all the claim, that isn’t said or implied anywhere.

The claim was simply that Chet’s finals performance, good or bad, doesn’t really say much in this comparison when Paolo doesn’t have any meaningful playoff experience to compare.

I’ve made the other claims already on an actual comparison. Chet is a DPOY level defender and folks are often prisoners of the moment around here.



Again Chet is being carried by SGA and Jalen Williams to the playoffs and finals. How is this better than Paolo who has to carry his trash a** team their?
