Extremely important 2nd tanking game against CHA tonight. If we "give" them a second straight away win it would be perfect for our season, extremely vital for our lottery chances.

I hope AG sits out the game. Let's hope we see Bambinho tonight.

The Magic is currently the #12 seed and a win tonight should take Orlando back to a play-in slotted level.

10 games in the Association tonight, and I am watching Hornets-Magic. Again. I can't tell even admit this to people in public.

[ChosenSavior]

AG playing definitely helps for the simple fact that the buddy ball offense is curbed a bit and that he can guard Hayward much better than our other "wings" did.

Same bro. People always look at me weird when I admit I am a Magic fan living in Texas lol.

[ChosenSavior]

Also much appreciation to you Knightro for putting these game threads together each game.

Let's Go Magic!

Vuc has great position with the ball, tosses it out and ask for the ball after he's been pushed off the block by 10 feet...

[ChosenSavior]

Vuc's lack of hustle really bothers me.

the sad thing is that they aren't injured or trying to tank...

[3ddman23]

Wow they are truly bad.. hopefully they can keep this up

[Knightro]

The Magic have a whole bunch of dudes who get really antsy and just decide they aren't giving the ball up when they haven't touched it for 3-4 possessions in a row.

Gordon, Ennis, Evan all do it. Vucevic pretty much always shoots when he's semi open.

It's just not fun to watch.

[3ddman23]

Has Hayward always been a magic killer. I feel like everytime he plays the magic the ball never even touches the rim. Its always a swish no matter what he throws up

[ChosenSavior]

We have passed up some really good looks and have over passed.

[SOUL]

I hate our offense. It's all broken plays. Why make the extra pass if we're passing up open shots?

[ChosenSavior]

Watching these games are becoming much harder.

[3ddman23]

So this front office/organization is just gonna stick with this for the rest of the season. There literally gonna sit on there thumbs and do nothing? Lol its just nuts how that can be allowed. It blows my mind
