    FOR NO REASON, THE STAGE LAST NIGHT SEEMED TOO BIG FOR THE MAGIC.........NOT FOR COLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MIGHT BE TIME TO INSERT HIM AS A STARTER.....AT THE END OF THE DAY THE STARTERS ARE THE PLAYERS THAT TEAMS RELY TO WIN GAMES. TEAM NEEDS A PG THAT CAN CREATE ASSITS (5 PER GAME / 36 MPG), SCORE, SHOOT 3'S, REBOUND AND REFIEF PAOLO OF HANDLING THE BALL SO MUCH.

    I COULD BE PROVEN WRONG..... BUT THE MAGIC AS THEY ARE, CAN PLAY AND DEFEAT ANYONE, ANYDAY, HOME OR AWAY. I REALLY DON'T CARE IF WE ARE A TOP 4 OR TOP 6 SEED.

    Let's not forget that sometimes the tree (coach and staff) has to be shaken too. Their strategy is not working anymore....tempo was too slow and passive last night, they play like this some games and it simply doesn't work. Personnel adjustments to tonight's game? Absolutely, IMO. Markelle has been ruled out already, so start Cole instead of slow and passive AB (nice player though) and give that guy #7, Kevon Harris and opportunity now that he is back healthy.

    Paolo with a total of 78 turnovers (3.3 PG) as of today ranks 8th worst in the league....Cade Cunningham is # 1 with 104. If Markelle doesn't return soon I wouldn't be surprised if Cole is inserted in the starting line-up......sometimes you have to tweak things and I think Paolo and Franz, especially Paolo needs to freelance more and not handle the ball as much as he has been. Time will tell.

    Doug McDermott......career 42 % 3PT shooter. Shooting 47% this year in a team that is going nowhere, the Spurs.

    The Magic Survived SURVIVAL TIME #1: Went 12 - 5 with key wins over Lakers, Bucks, Pacers, Nuggets, Celtics. Here comes SURVIVAL TIME #2: This stretch of games versus: Cavs, Celtics (back-to back), Heat, Bucks, Pacers, Philly, Knicks, Suns, Warriors, Kings, Nuggets on the road, before returning home. If the Magic are 100% healthy they have a chance to defeat many of these teams and do well in this stretch = FUN !!! I hope this is the case very early in the stretch and Markelle, Wendell, Jalen and JI play inside the white lines.

    Injuries a galore....the Markelle one on his surgical repaired knee could linger for a long time. So far, how many games he been out? Fifteen and counting? Never pessimistic, always realistic. I'd bet the FO is looking at late lottery alternatives. We all know that there are enough good teams in the East that can leave the Magic in the dust. Go Magic.

    But not always....last night Paolo was having a career game, he had the ball a lot. Joe was not performing his usual role and was bad defensively.

    Last night games (Dec 6), 3 points baskets made by each team: Memphis 11, Detroit 11, Philly 8 , Wash 14, Bkn 11, Atl 12, SA 8 , Min 12, Mia 14, Tor 14, Cha 10, Chi 12, Okc 8 , Hou 15, Utah 12, Dallas 22, Por 16, GS 10, Den 12, LAC 12 CAVS 14, MAGIC 2 HOWEVER, THE WORST PART IS THAT THE MAGIC ARE THE 2ND TO LAST 3 PT % TEAM IN THE EAST !!!! Only the Raptors are worst. Defense, especially by the DPY (Jalen) was carrying the team...so what happens the next couple of weeks might not be fun to watch. Go Magic.

    Uncle Joe was "guarding" sideways a few times last night....did anybody noticed? Zero points, 3 fouls in 17 minutes....don't understand why Okeke can't crack playing time under last night circumstances.

    2024 NBA Draft Thread

    At 10 to 13, at what options are we looking at? The injuries to 3 starters, the 2 losses to the Nets and the loss to Cleveland last (Dec 6) and the upcoming schedule makes me wonder..... Upcoming Games: Cavs, Celtics (2), Heat, Bucks, Pacers, Philly, Knicks, Suns. In-between these 9 games, one with the Pistons and one with the Wizards.

    Recently, the high end free agents never make it to free agency, some examples are KD, Harden, Kyrie. Reason why IMO, what's going to happen IF WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO MAKE A QUICK JUMP is a blockbuster trade in which most everybody is available except Paolo, Franz, Jalen and maybe Cole and JI.

    All-Star voting begins like in 1 1/2 weeks....if the winning continues, Paolo and Franz with a great chance to crack into an elite team. Go Magic !!!

    Will have another game to prove it when the Magic face on Wednesday Cav's talented front line of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.

    The Bulls have or soon will have a fire sale....Alex could help us to be better, for sure. His contract is for this year and next @ about $10k. He is 29, a solid defensive minded veteran ( Mosley w/love him), a 2020 NBA champion with the Lakers. In the playoffs, that year, he played in all 21 games, 24 MPG. .37% career 3PT shoot.

    Former player and current NBA analyst Earl Watson said it last night in the show called Film Room on NBA TV channel while analyzing the Magic, "AND WHAT THEY ARE BUILDING BY WINNING ARE ASSESTS COACH (Sam Mitchell), THEY ARE BUILDING ASSESTS TO MAKE A BIG TRADE TO PUT THEM OVER THE TOP" Means to me, everybody but Paolo, Franz and Jalen are tradeable for the right combination of players. We'll see what move or moves can this opportunistic FO can make.....there is momentum for this to happen and relatively soon. The sooner you bring the new players to learn the team systems the better.

    Could playing Chuma ( "3 & D player" ) earlier in the game would have made something of a difference? Could Kevon Harris ( that # 7 guy) playing alongside Suggs in spurts could have help us defensively?

    If we get them in the playoffs, it is going to be a heck of a series. Hopefully we have homecourt advantage (sometimes it doesn't matter) and hopefully we figure out how to defeat them when we see them at Amway on Feb 27 and March 13.

    I hope we get Wendell for our match versus the Heat. That Adebayo guy is very physical and crafty. I want Wendell ready for this home game...it is on Dec 20.

    Houstan's is Chuma's replacement IMO. Trade Chuma but keep Houstan.

    Justin Tinsley said it......contenders are active during the trade deadline.......finally we are in this conversation........we can expect something. DeMar DeRozan anybody? In his last year of his contract....for Markelle (also in his his last year) Chuma and a pick.
