A big reason for this recent bench playing resurgence is Birch. Can we please just enjoy this before discussing letting go of a guy (Birch) and our current all star (Vuc) for theoreticals that are not impending decisions now with us playing some of the best Magic basketball since almost a decade?!?!?

It’s been decidedly in sync type wins since the Simmons trade. The team is playing relaxed, now believing they will not be (immediately) dismantled to pieces. The past two wins have been defensive juggernauts with surprising offensive tenacity.

Briscoe - Birch!!!!!! Love those two now.

This team is completely different than the one we saw earlier in the season. Isaac is turning into a defensive monster with a 3-pt shot!

Briscoe and Birch are fierce! May we add them to consistent contributors.

Scottie became a star at age 28. Ross is our Scottie Pippen.

Interesting article on Fultz. I think he is fine physically: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/shlomosprung/2018/11/27/pair-of-markelle-fultzs-philadelphia-76ers-teammates-discuss-what-went-wrong/amp/

Ross has been WOW too and looks inspired to be an alpha for us, as well. I will be at the game on Thursday hoping for a Fultz sighting.

I predict he plays this year, makes the second unit and crunch time minutes more explosive for us, and we surprise as an 8th seed that upsets the competition. People forget that our SL has not been the problem. It's how we've been closing out the games. Fultz will be a game changer, if healthy, playing for his dream team as a kid. He has a lot to prove to the league. I bet part of the issue has been not playing an optimal role in Philly, with the expectation that Simmons is the alpha. With Orlando, Fultz will be the court general, and he will thrive in that role.

It’s on his Instagram story (not post). You’d have to click the profile pic to see it. It’s there. I just clicked on it.

But here, he’ll be the General with BIG to execute his vision.

I noticed an addition by the mere subtraction of Simmons. And look we can all forgive Fournier if he plays in his element and doesn’t try hero ball all the time. Fournier needs to allow the flow of game to come to him, which he did last night.

Anyone observing how Gordon assist totals continue to rise?

When is Fultz available to play?

Dude Ross is like celebrating he didn’t get traded. He’s a star in my book.
