If you could think of one word that describes our Magic team this year, what would it be? Me? I would pick: re·sil·ience /rəˈzilyəns/ noun noun: resiliency 1. the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness. "the often remarkable resilience of so many British institutions" 2. the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity. "nylon is excellent in wearability and resilience" No matter what teams throw at us we keep fighting and bouncing back.

The way one Magic fan celebrates!

I just read 37 pages of this stuff and you guys are great . Just a few observations. Magic won and some of their best offensive players had less than average games. Toronto seemed to be getting some real home cooking from the refs. This team has totally bought in to what Cliff is selling. The next game and the series will not be getting ant easier, Toronto is a very good and deep team. Oh and one last thing that I can't believe anyone on here mentioned No NBA coach wearing a suit that looks like than will ever be taken seriously. GO MAGIC!!!

I am gonna watch a replay of this game later tonight and see if the refs call a foul this time on the MCW face smash.

All in game chatter in here so we keep the Magic game threads just for the games? Makes sense I reckon.....

Over the summer I couldn't stop talking about how the organization failed for not bringing in Isaiah Thomas, because we didn't have a PG that could be the starter of a winning squad. A winning record, playoff berth, and game winning shot in the post-season later... oops. My bad.

Funny!

Also, some hilarious tweets from around the league on Game 1: https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/2019/4/14/18310013/orlando-magic-toronto-raptors-2019-nba-playoffs-dj-augustin

Can watch this over and over again.

Yeah I think I'm down with that formula lol

Denton hahahaha

Dude I am so friggin’ pumped. Had to go grab a celebratory Guinness. Glad it was a happy beer and not a sad beer.

ESPN had like a 5 second delay compared to FSFL. So if you were quick enough you could watch DJ drill that triple in Gasol's face twice!

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jared Dudley is a hard player not to love. Consimate pro and great teammate.

One thing I think that is overlooked is that AG, was incredibly young as a one and done, has played on a lottery team, has had a subpar PG, no real All Star, and has still put up really good numbers, improved every year in almost every category, and as mentioned is still only 23. He was described by experts as an offensively raw talent with incredible athleticism. As players develop around him how much higher a ceiling can he have. My feeling is that Philly made a huge "LA Laker type mistake" and gave up on Fultz way too soon like the "tampering" Lakers gave up on Russell. If I am right Fultz can make Gordon and Isaac lethal, and that is not even factoring in Bamba. Yeah you might call this a big "if" but this is the kind of stuff that happens in the NBA all the time with one and dones.
