    We were down by 30+ pts. We would have gone into halftime down by 9 if it had not been for a missed shot and then allowing them to make a 3. I don't think the Wizards can continue to shoot the way they did in the first half. We are down by only 12 with 2 quarters to go. I think winning this game is doable.

    Gotta wake up in the second half! Especially Franz. Everyone seems to be going through the motions out there tonight. I mean I know playing in front of this crowd is like playing in front of a few hundred cardboard cutouts. I've heard more noise at a local library. However, got to be professional and take care of business.

    don't worry about them. Our boys are not playing around. Paolo is a absolute superstar I'm taking hall of fame generational talent. Let alone franz and co. We take care of our business then we r good.

    It's a good point. And I've got an essay saved in my notes I almost posted here (it was getting stupid long lol) about how I think Suggs at PG is a viable option the Magic could take long term. Then I just tried to write a TLDR of the essay and it still somehow devolved into an essay. But the TLDR of the TLDR is that the most desirable roleplayers are high feel guys with positive positional size who can pass/dribble/shoot (the reason they're desirable is because that sounds close to a description of a star but I'm not saying they can pass like Magic, dribble like Kyrie and shoot like Steph, just that they can do enough of each for their position/role). And a 6'6 guy like that is probably just as valuable to the starting 5 if not more than a "true PG" given Paolo and Franz will have a lot of the ball anyway. There is a caveat however that this team is really devoid of pull-up 3 point shooting which could be an issue which (subconsciously) I think is why a lot of Magic fans pine after the ball handling, 30 pick and rolls a game scoring guard because they see the pull-up shot making and how unstoppable that can be which is something this team hasn't had in any real way since like Jameer Nelson.

    tuned in for the last 5 minutes and have no idea what you're talking about. Paolo and Suggs have been clutch and we're playing with a fire in our bellies. Perhaps it shouldn't have been this close but this team showed out when it mattered. Learning to win in close games is certainly a necessity for teams to succeed in this league.

    Or how bad our point guards are.

    Taking my son to the game today. Only game we’ll make this year. Hope it’s a “high high” today against a team we’re battling for playoff position. They have not been able to keep us out of the paint in prior games this year. Would be nice to see that trend continue.

    I don't think their 3pt shooting will be that sustainable. Obviously gonna need a much better effort but we're not out of this yet.

    I thought it was going to be one of those games after the first half but everyone locked in defensively in the second half and we got out of there with the W. Jalen, Paolo, Franz all showed up. We're always going to have a good chance when all 3 of those guys are hitting shots. AB was good too, played good defense, confident shooting, couple of nice passes. The duo of Goga and Mo gave us enough at the 5 spot between them on defense and offense respectively. Good W. Cole Anthony continues to be the most frustrating player in the rotation. 12 shot attempts 0 assists. He actually made some plays on both ends that felt big but man I'll never not groan when we enter the Cole zone (that moment where he's hit 2 shots in a row and now nobody else will get to touch the basketball for a couple possessions).

    I wanted the Vuch-Fournier out a lot before they were traded, but I'm still a little nostalgic about Aaron. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GH6z375W0AAAles?format=jpg&name=medium

    Yeah, I expect the Heat to be one of the top 6. I’d be tempted to bet they finish at 3/4. I think Indiana is gonna wind up in the play-in, they’re falling off and their schedule is brutal. If Brunson’s injury is as bad as it looked the Knicks could fall to play-in range quickly, and the Embiid-less Sixers are just hard to get a read on. We just need to take care of business and let the chips fall. I’m just excited to be playing meaningful basketball in March that isn’t related to secretly hoping we lose a close one so it doesn’t hurt us in the lottery.

    “Suggs is one of the league's most well-rounded defensive guards, with the speed to chase waterbug point guards and the heft to jostle with big wings. He is a cinder block with arms and very fast feet. The Magic's defense is built to last; they have held steady at No. 5 in points allowed per possession. They are physical, versatile, ultracompetitive, protective of the glass. Suggs is also up to 39% on 3s after hitting just 32.7% last season and barely making any as a rookie. He has already made more 3s this season (113) than the 108 he hit combined in his first two. He's taking more -- 7.1 per 36 minutes, up from 5.8 last season. Suggs is even 28-of-73 (38%) on off-the-bounce 3s, already surpassing his career high in makes. Marcus Smart -- a common Suggs comp -- has never hit better than 36.4% on 3s in any season and has only exceeded Suggs's current attempt rate twice.” https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/39623501/lowe-nikola-jokic-most-terrifying-sight-nba Zach Lowe giving love to Suggs while also trying to figure out what we’re going to do with our guard situation this summer. Good read.

    Nobody on the injury lists!! Which is great since I am going to the game tomorrow. But ... even better if we are entering this part of the season fully healthy. We will see what that means on this up coming back to back

    One thing that was understated before the deadline is that if Suggs can develop his PG play we might not need anyone else. We’ve seen teams win the chip with faux PGs and two tall ball handlers like the Bucks with Jrue, Middleton and Giannis.

    I said before the season that if Suggs, Paolo, and Fultz could get better at 3s we'd be a team to reckon with. We got 2 out of 3 and here we are. Suggs 3-3s in a row was an exciting turn of events!

    The Magic of Cole Anthony is on full display this evening. He's dropping dimes. He's hammering down lobs. The footwork in the paint like a professional dancer. And the All-Star caliber defense is something like this world has never witnessed. Magic fans stand and cheer!
