Official Orlando Magic Preseason Thread - Next Game Wednesday at New Orleans

[basketballRob]

Scottie is having a nice game for the raps

Philadelphia started a bunch of short guys, with Drummond at center.

And then…?

Just pointing out that he'll never face that kind of defense in a regular season game.

Cole's easily been the best player tonight. If he keeps it up, he should definitely start next to Suggs.

[Knightro]

Cole might thrive if Mosley just rolls the ball out and lets these guys play pick up ball every night

Scrubs about to come in on this game. Solid performance from the core. Wihs we saw a bit of a better performance from Suggs but solid showing for the team in there first pre season game.

I don't think that's the way to look at it necessarily. Might be able to do this because the ball is in his hands a lot and can exploit it with Bamba. Making him start with Suggs and WCJ might make him prone to a role that is worse for him.

[tooler]

That's it for me tonight. Time to run a virus scan.

[ibraheim718]

That looks like it. Can't remember the last time I've watched a whole preseason game.

[Howard Mass]

Ehh, The Exhibit 10 and Two-Way Players to finish out a close game in Boston. That's the Preseason for you.

I was thinking more of having Suggs off ball. He seems to be able to play well with or without the ball.

I'm still a believer in Cole and still want to develop him as well.

[ChosenSavior]

The passing has been awesome tonight

[Ducklett]

I would be so embarrassed if I was the Celtics.

Mm. Maybe. I agree Suggs can play offball, just don't think Cole is a lead guard/point guard unless it's heavily iso based where he can exploit the other team. I don't mind Cole starting but yeah

[ChosenSavior]

Why did he save the ball in that instance? Haha

[ibraheim718]

If Mohsley can get you guys to compete defensively like you guys did tonight you'll probably be a little better than people think and win a few more games than you want if you still want to be bad to grab another high draft pick. I was really impressed with their defensive awareness and competitive nature tonight.

[Rick Rolled]

Would have been cool if the scrubs had held on but oh well.

[SOUL]

Grab the ball or let it go. Wtf.

Magic gonna Magic

[BDill012]

Want to see what this baseline OOB play looks like. See if coach can draw up a play to get a good look.

[ChosenSavior]

Fun game overall. Really liked how we played. We can play with that level of effort consistently, I'll be a happy fan.

[thelead]

If we're going to suck, this is the exact type of game we need 80% of the time.

[Rick Rolled]

Guess it’s better that I don’t get 50% off of bad pizza.
