GET A STOP.

I really liked the balance to his game in the 4th. He hunted down his shots when he knew the defense would keep giving him great looks, but he also moved the ball around and kept others involved.

Good job boys. Big comeback. We may not be winning much but our young players are growing by the game

Magic win.

Good effort by everyone tonight and some great moments as well. So happy Cole Anthony came back tonight especially after losing Jalen Suggs to an injury.

I thought about switching this one off after the first quarter, but you just can't quit on these guys. They will keep fighting.

Underated aspect tonight was Wendell's defense and effort on Jokic. He got him off kilter some. Bamba has some good weakside help too

Franz and Cole are cold blooded! Franz monster block on the MVP, tough drive and finish and game winning 3. Cole with some big ball baskets. Harris even gave us something lol.

Look cole has been really impressive, and seems like a genuine good guy. Guy walked off the court after his interview and tried to high five as many fans as he could. Pretty cool guy

Cole Anthony is so good for the city and the fanbase. He is out there giving everyone five, hyping up the crowd and the team during the last Denver time out. I know most of you guys hate him and think he is our worst player, but to have a guy like that during a rebuild is lucky.

Look Cole has his flaws, he's still developing, at times he gets tunnel vision, but I'll be dammed if he doesn't get me excited as a Magic fan! I WANT him to succeed.

Also, having people like him and Franz LOOKING for the big moment in the clutch, that's a great mental trait to have available, and he ran the 4th really well

This game was a ton of fun to watch! I'm just proud of our squad right now. So many guys to give praise to but off the top of my head, Franz, Mo, WCJ and Cole did work in that 2nd half.

AG was all smiles in that 1st half. Was hilarious to see that change in the 2nd half lol.

Top shelf game for us.

Wendell played great D. He's beefy enough to not get pushed around by Jokic and he's so disciplined when closing out. Never jumps for them. Likewise an efficient offensive game. I love it.

Having Cole back has been good too. It's true he puts up a lot of shots but sometimes we need that - he provides helpful balance for the team. 7 assists and 1 turnover is really good for him too.

Franz, the old head. That clutch 3 was beautiful. It's really amazing how multi-faceted he is for a rookie. He can do a bit of everything at a high level.

Also, well done to the lesser lights - RJ, Harris, Okeke, Ross and Mo Wagner. They didn't capitulate in their minutes. Bamba was a bit quiet but he didn't hurt us either.

Where are the Cole haters at???
Who's gonna argue that Cole ain't an NBA-caliber player or is not a guard that can run an offense or deliver wins???

We needed Anthony to be back so badly...he's back and we win against a high-level team by outhustling them in the second half. Denver didn't play their A-game, but the whole Magic squad had something to do with that fact.

Good play from all of our players, Franz and Wendell were solid. Important block by Bamba in a crucial moment of the 4th.
Good to see that Gary Harris and Ross still have some kick in them, showing some signs of life and we are competitive again.

A good win for the young guys, they really really wanted it. Cole is such an energizer when on the floor, he managed to keep all his teammates engaged and hungry for the win. Almost got a triple-double again in his first game back from being sidelined for 2 weeks with a sprained ankle. Good to see he hasn't lost a step, that's important for young players to learn if they want to make a step forward in their young careers.

Bad for the tank but still good for the team's morale. The constant losing can mess with players' minds and motivation.

True True !!!

Not many players besides Cole, Suggs and Franz can bring much excitement and keep the fans engaged. Good to have Cole back, we desperately needed his energy and hustle. We are a completely different team when he plays.

I think all the sweater vests (5 including tonight's one :lol:

) have gone to him this year. That's saying a lot. In some of the games Franz was a huge contributor as well, but nothing can rival the effective dynamic guard.

Great to see Cole back. Franz is potential all-star in the future. Yeah I said it! His ceiling for me has shot up.

IllMagic04 · Post #160 » by **IllMagic04** » Thu Dec 2, 2021 2:43 am

Great win. Cole and Fran were really good. Im really excited about Fran and JI playing together. I dunno how Fran is this good this early. Good stuff from Wendell and Bamba too. Really good team win.

We look like a different team with Cole. We need to acknowledge that. And its only his 2nd year. He still has so much room to grow.
