1 half and I'm as hype as I've been all season. Mario, Ross, AG....would love to see Biz get more minutes just to see how he'd do with more space.

Vuc....should've been traded. I'll never stop beating the dead horse but we shouldve had Boogie. Smh.

Completely OT: watching the Pelicans game during the break and they're advertising jersey aprons as a free giveaway for the first 8000 fans at the next home game.

Remember when the Magic used to give away bobbleheads and various other things at random games during the season? What happened to that?

You're just so used to seeing us play through Fournier so much that you forgot what a guy just making the correct play looks like.

I've always said out of those 3 wings drafted high in that 2015 draft (Hezonja/Stanley Johnson/Winslow) that Hezonja still had the most upside. Scott Skiles was the worst possible coach for his rookie season.

Who knew? All Mario had to do was score 10 points to prove himself? :dontknow:

I'm not basing that comment on one half of basketball, the fact is Hezonja has way more offensive potential than Winslow/Johnson.

Winslow/Johnson are terrible offensive players and will always be terrible offensive players

Game is more interesting to watch when you got 4 smalls and one big.

I was living in San Francisco last two months and they give away a lot of things all the games. I watched Rockets x Warriors and got a cap, a bag and a VR glasses for free in 1 single game.

AG with 7 rebounds already. Just being down on the block gives you a ton more opportunity to rebound.

Could be anecdotal, but it seems like we're playing a little faster which benefits the team as a whole.

Ross looks like he fits pretty well right now.

Mario looked better last year, not counting this 1st half today. This year he has had deer in the headlights look all year, no confidence. Which makes no sense because he is not a rookie anymore and he played professionally in Euro. Today is just a different guy.

Ross definitely a good passer. Should have the ball way more than Evan going forward.

Yep, looks like I'll be watching Magic games regularly now, Ross being used the right way after 4.5 years of being relegated to sitting on the corners doing nothing

Elfrid Payton is wearing Lillard's ass out on the offensive end. He's a horrid defender lol.
