Honestly, it wasn't that close. The Sixers' coach took out their starters when they were up 20 and put the guys at the end of the bench in. The Magic staters beat up on their role players hence the comeback. The Philiy coach got comfortable.

Thanks dude, doesn't surprise me to hear that smh

You want us to win and get a crappy pick Howard and be stuck like this for longer?

I'm just saying it sucks having to always lose to get a good pick.

Believe me, I've hated losing these past 6 years.

It sucks 100% and I have no doubt you have bro, it's why today I had to turn off and that might be it for me, it's unwatchable. Love this franchise and couldn't change if I wanted too, but we have to get a top pick this season and make trades.

I don't know how I am going to not be depressed when Mario walks this summer.

Can something PLEASE go right for us, just once?

That is what Skiles was envisioning with Hezonja but couldn’t get there because of Elf. Hezonja then becomes a version of Ben Simmons.

He's still struggling a bit shooting wise but this is the type of game I like to see from AG where he's getting teammates involved and looking to make the right pass. He's really capable as a facilitator when he wants to be, he's just still finding that scoring and passing balance.

The weight gain is very visible... 15 more lbs of muscle and he's ready to play center in today's NBA.

yup..... that first 12 lb made a huge difference..... i can see a khem birch type transformation. Khem was all kinds of scrawny at first. wouldn't mind him being a sf/pf for just a lil bit as he hones his skills. But.... with the way he looks now.... hitting 230-240 does not look too hard at all.

I like his game very much.

I wonder if he still has soreness in his ankle because he looked like struggled to get height on his jump on that dunk. Maybe just a bad camera angle?

Elf blew that defensive possession... Payton was way too close to Lillard 35 feet out.

In the lottery, sure. But as a mid- to late-2nd, it is tried an true.

For example, Jānis Timma's move to the NBA could easily coincide with the Magic being competent again. He is an instant asset in that scenario.

And as the 60th pick in the draft, it's fine.

This game proved two points: i) Simmons is not at an NBA-starter level of quality and ii) Orlando's bench is still awful. Couple that to ineffective PG play, I am not sure Orlando is capable of winning more than 35% of their final games (even in lots of games against co-Tankers).

I can understand why the Magic is trying to lose, but it disgusts me to see "fans" cheer for losses.

AG at PG was cool.

Mario has actually turned into a good player.

I miss Elfrid.

Vogel is still awful.

It's really peak Orlando Magic if Hezonja continues his upwards trend and then walks.

I'm already resigned to that happening to soften my annoyance.

Im so glad we are still developing Afflalo.He may be an all star one day.
I had some pretty crazy dreams last night...woke up restless started to watch the game and when I saw Afflalo is playing I knew Im safe.This is the correct reality.

Few years ago AG would have asked to defend Ben Simmons
