Can you imagine Kuminga and Cole getting into a fist fight over who would get to shoot the ball next?

LOL. That aside, GSW is probably the best defensive team right now. Imagine them with Franz... also they all.move without the ball.. now what is one of Franz great skill????

Great win! Good defense in the 4th quarter. It's coming together for the Magic. Every starter is contributing on both side of the offense and defense. Love the unselfishness of this team. Go magic!

I feel like the current Knicks are the magic of the last few years; an ok team full of 3rd options. I do like Toppins though.

Funny you should mention Obi and the knicks being the magic of the past... they draft Obi and resign Randle :lol:

I hope this can jumpstart Suggs.

What he did tonight (outside of that rough 1st quarter), is what I expected to see coming into the season. Winning, impactful plays on both ends of the court. Maybe he's not going to be the Damian Lilliard All-NBA level player I'd hoped around draft night, but I still think he has a clear shot at becoming a Jrue Holiday, which would still be a massive win for us at 5.

I'm liking the crop of players we are starting this rebuild with. Wagner, Suggs, and WCJ are 100% core pieces in my eyes. Cole could probably be included in that as well, and Okeke is right on the fringe for me. Isaac is the X factor.

During the post-game celebration, I saw Mo smack Barrett as hard as he could on his rear end and then laughed at him.

Mo and Cole aren't right.

That was the most Jalen Suggs game that Suggs has had so far and I'm thankful for it. Great overall team win. Good resiliency by a young team to get a win on the road. Bing bong.

I don't want to get into a whole thing here but check how close Rose is playing Cole on this pivotal possession.

Cole wasn't shooting it great but that's nice gravity. OnlyFranz then plays 4 on 4 in the half-court which leaves him plenty of space to operate.

As a huge trap-game for the Knicks, this is a very winnable game for Orlando.

Well the win is not a shock. But how it happened was. The Magic shot poorly, but dominated TO differential and rebounding differential to have a massive 8 FG opportunities more than NY. That's WITH more FT attempts as well.
Losing the FG% battle and winning the game: wow.

This sort of win makes coaches happy.

Why not us? Why not now?

Orlando when healthy will start winning some games. Orlando sneaks in to the 10-seed, and then shocks the world to win the title. Movies will be made based on this season !!!!!

I am so happy right now.

With this win, Orlando is only 3-games back from a play-in slot.

OOOOOOOFFFF. That is going to be a horrendous contract for them, 4 more years YIKES! looks like Thibs has already made his mind up on Evan as well. Wonder if any team will be dumb enough to take his contract? I reckon they`re gonna be stuck with him.

We need to teach our young guys the dos and don'ts in the postgame interviews.

I have not yet watched the game. Question:

Was it Anthony on Walker and Suggs on Fournier? That's 52M for NYKs this season in ineffective guard play for the game. Wow.
