    No, they're only the reigning champions when healthy, they're not that great. There's a huge difference between always complaining and providing a different point of view from the "if we were healthy we would DESTROY them", or "if we had a good shooting game we would be 2-1". Like we're the only team having injuries, problems or bad shooting nights... seems like the others are always 100%, and we're always unlucky. I told you various time that I respect your faith in the team and the way you're a great fan, but you should avoid those "Give it a rest" and judging other fans just because they're pointing out real issues, or a different point of view. ;)

    This series is a great reminder of how close we are. Critical off-season coming up, because P5 and Boogie are ready

    Cole doesn't belong in the rotation. He's a turnover waiting to happen.

    I was able to upvote too until a few days ago, now I'm not anymore. But it's a long time that I point out the things I don't like, and the ones I like too. :) Injuries for me it's, first, something that could happen to everyone. Boston was without Tatum, and now Holiday. They're key players, especially because their depth is weak, and when they miss one of the starters, they play Horford at 4, and that's an huge change to their style and a situation that help us a lot, as it become more of a fight. Also, we prepared the series knowing what players we were missing, it's a little different when you suddenly have guys out, or doubtful, that means they're not 100% even if playing. And second, last season we were full healthy and with a similar roster, and we lost from a Clevaland team that was in disarray, not the one that is dominating now. Evidence is: the same Cavs team that beat us, lost 1-4 to Boston in the next round. I would be the first to be screaming and enjoing us beating the C's, but that would still not convince me we are suddenly contenders, because we're not. Until now, we have only won one game. Let's build on that and try to make the most out of their problems, as Holiday is out again today.

    Wow so much negativity here. Where is the love and support for this basketball team? They are one game from evening up this series against the world champion Celtics. We should be applauding that instead of unleashing a bunch of negative venom filled rants. It's ok to be critical at times. And it's ok if you want to cheer for the team despite some of their obvious shortcomings. However, there has to be a healthy balance filled compromise here. We need to band together as Magic fans and do our best to support this team. After all, did we come here to lose tonight? I don't think so! We are in it to win it! Losing is not an option. So Magic fans let us unite. Blue and White Ignite!

    Give it a rest. We are a good shooting game away from being up 2-1 already. The Celtics are not that great. Tatum and Brown will get there's.... as do Franz and P5... You 1 of the critical guys on a regular and will always be complaining

    The Nuggets blew a 22-point 4th quarter lead and nearly lost to the Clippers. However, they were bailed out when AG threw down a putback dunk at the buzzer to win the game. If they had lost the game, they would have been down 3-1 in the series. They don't look like the same team. Something seems off. It could be the loss of KCP. (pause for laughter). Seriously though, the dude brought it defensively and he did hit some clutch shots for them during their championship run. He's bringing the same defense here for the Magic, even though he's not doing much offensively. Often what a player does out on the court doesn't necessarily show up in the box score after the game. KCP, Harris, and AB have been very good defensively in this series. Now if we can only get Harris and Kenny to knock down a few 3's we'll be in great shape.

    Just got back from the game as well! No voice left!! Refs are soft and weak in favor of Boston. NBA is so pathetic On the walk back to car.. I drowned out any and all attempts of Celtics fans to do any chanting.. with an overwhelming and unrelenting LETS GO MAGIC!!!! On repeat until they caved! LFG!!!

    Paolo &" Franz are the 2nd youngest duo ever with back-to-back 25-PT playoff games — only KD & Russ were younger.

    What a gritty W! Shootout to Wendell. When he’s aggressive on the glass, we’re a different team.

    I didn't come here to lose tonight. I also didn't come here to get swept. Didn't come here to get disrespected by ESPN and all other media outlets. I came here tonight to win. Plain and simple. This is my house! I smell ULTRA!

    Weltman take heed. Memphis was the hottest young team coming out of the bubble, and now their pretty much in a destroy and rebuild situation. This is what happens when you don't take advantage of your opportunity window with a young team. All that "we're a year ahead" garbage lead you here. If you're a year ahead, move like it, or else, teams behind you will jump ahead of you, and teams you were on par with will separate themselves from you. Weltman you're on the clock.

    I agree with the Jalen and Mo assessment. If they had played the entire season, I think we would have won around 52-55 games and had home court advantage in the first round. It would have been great to have them both for this Celtics series. Suggs would be a 3rd scoring option and MW would have provided solid bench scoring. Plus, they are both emotional leaders and would have loved to be a part of this physical first round series with Boston. Right now, Goga is the one who can provide the emotion and intensity. As for management, let's hope that they can get it done over the summer. A point guard and a couple of consistent 3-point shooters, and we are championship contenders. And need to stay healthy! I was there in 2009 when we sent LeBron packing in the deciding game 6 versus the Cavs to advance to the Finals. The place was rocking! You couldn't hear anyone sitting next to you unless they yelled out loud. Those were the days! We're getting close to being there again! Step up to the plate and get it done management!

    I was right there with you in the building in 2009. I’ll take you in my foxhole any day Jay. A lot of us have been fans for too long but keep staying positive. Go Magic!

    Here use this website. https://fanspo.com/nba/trade-machine This is my favorite trade machine. Your trade is bad but mostly because the salaries don't match. Your welcome.

    Let’s face it. We are going to keep this coach. And for him to somehow succeed on offense, he’ll need players that do it by themselves. Here’s a trade: POR get KCP, Cole, Jett, WCJ future top 10 protected first ORL get Simons, Ayton we draft: 15th Carter Bryant 26th Clayton 2nd round Proctor Zikorsky PG: Simons, AB, Proctor SG: Suggs, Clayton SF: F. Wagner, TDS PF: Banchero, C. Bryant, M. Wagner C: Ayton, Bitadze, Isaac, Zikorsky

    I'm too busy to really post here at the minute but I just came here to say I think it's interesting there's this growing idea this is a dirty team. Porzingis holds Goga who tries to flail his arms to get free and inadvertently catches him and that's a flagrant. Sure fine. But then we get "the Magic are so dirty" comments. Horford and KCP have a nothing coming together and people are acting like somebody did something wrong. Horford being a ***** about it doesn't make it a heinous act. And whilst this narrative is being perpetuated it just so happens the Boston Celtics shoot a **** tonne of FTs. Point being it benefits our opponents to continue to put out there the idea that we play overly physical, aggressive and dangerous. Meanwhile Luke Kornet and Al Horford can set consistently moving screens every time down the floor and that's just waived away as "refs letting it be physical" or whatever nonsense. I'm very tired, the above might be illegible. Paolo is him. Jeff Weltman will pay for his crimes if we don't build a championship contender around him.

    He has to b the laziest superstar I’ve seen. He could b so great but doesn’t try hard. Maybe out of shape. Never fallows his shot and is lackadaisical
