Mo giving his version of Dikembe's finger wag.

Mo with one of the best plays of his career and they stop the fastbreak to t him up. That was really soft and pathetic officiating

A C’s bench player bumped Tatum after that last play. Is that offensive taunting for engaging with players whilst not on the court? Of course not. But a nice block can’t be celebrated.

Let him sit for the season, just to be sure.

That's how I feel. He handles the ball a bit like a guard version of AG which is bad and he is a dumb player but he does enough things where I kind of want to see him more.

His eye abrasion injury happened like two games ago and he played through it. Magic pulling him now makes me think that he isn't coming back for the remainder of the season. Hopefully that's the case. If we can lose to the Timberwolves, we are right back in the mix.

Cliff came back just in time to get the tank back on track lol.

i might not be comfortable enough to call him dumb....i'd say he's more sped up....i think with him the IQ should get better with experience....while he may not make the perfect reads but at least with more experience he'll know what he has to do....where he needs to be....he'll learn spacing.....he'll learn how to ice the pick and roll since he has some trouble with that....He's definitely showing me enough to think he can be a key player for us at some point

Reading the Boston board and they were all saying how much better Williams was over Bamba. One guy said, Bamba put up better stats today and they suspended him. Lol

Completely agree. And we are lucky because it looks Min doesn't even care about tanking because they seem like the only lottery team, maybe with exception of cleveland, still playing their top guys.

I don't think he played all that well, certainly not as good as as this stat line would indicate. But pretty neat to see something that hasn't been done in a decade.

Yeah that was his worst game in a couple weeks. He played a little out of control and took too many 3's.

The young players had some moments and The Magic maintain pace in Lotto Standings with the loss.
