A second game on the road against the Lakers after a 2-0 beginning, sounds like a game that doesn't hurt so much actually to lose and you kind of relax. However, I think these guys on the Magic team got a competitive spirit that I wouldn't be surprised if we take a W at LA I don't know if Markelle 's hand is ok or if he has some kind of injury from the last game.

Oh man! JI moment! That was sick!!

Oh man JI moment! That was sick!

Second unit looks way better than first at the offensive end so far. Great night for Cole already. I'm wondering if we'll get to see the rookies tonight.

Wow the players were in the worst mood in that opening show haha

Let's go Magic! I'm really excited about this season. I hope we can start with the right foot at home tonight. I'm really looking forward to see how this team looks like. I think playing Houston is a good test to see where are we at. Finally the long wait is over!

Hi! It's been a couple of months since I wrote for the last time here. But my hype for this Magic team hasn't declined at all. I'm so happy that all our players had finally a healthy start and I really want to see in the court what we are made of. I think this season will answer some of the big questions we have about the players and the future of the team. The GMs is been really conservative and relax with the trade market so far, but if we have an interesting season, that could change. There has to be some kind of list in some Weltman's notebook with some names for the next free agency, I wonder which they are. Also, I think we are two or three good trades from being a contender team. I recently moved to Germany and the game schedules are impossible, but I'm gonna see them the morning after on the League Pass (If any of you know of a discount, let me know :p ).

Biggest LOL ever

Hi guys, long time no see! Here waiting for fortune to guide the Magic to glory again. Withmore and Dick would be just great. Not really sure about the twins tho. But i've been wrong before. Have a nice draft night down there

Mosley just put the starters on the court and sit down

Both 1st and 3rd qtrs ended with a completely wasted 24" possession from Cole Anthony. I just hate the Pistons

Caleb Houstan is currently at Lakeland, according to what i read. I wish JI could play 20 tonight, but it's not gonna happen. We need to move the ball better, if we do they can't beat us.

Well, that was a disappointing second half. Awful lack of energy and a horrible amount of live ball turnovers... They grabbed 13 offensive rebounds and killed us in transition and 2nd chance points. We needed this one, but we'll get another chances I guess. Now All Star break, some players need to recover some energy. I hope Paolo and Franz don't come back too tired from Utah.

1st and 2nd quarter seemed like two different games lol. Good defensive effort, once again from the second unit and later from the starters. Jalen Suggs out of his mind, not just on defense (as always). It's like he read our comments from yesterday's game! I hope we can keep up the intensity defensively and the pace on offense. These guys played last night, which is an added challenge.

I hadn't seen this thread until now. Thanks for making it, All Eyes on Me! My eternal love to T-Ross, one of the most explosive players to ever wear the Magic jersey. Fearless shooter and just the nicest guy! With Mo the things weren't so happy, but he had his own bright moments and for what i see and what i hear he is a great guy and an excelent teammate. I really hope he can find a place where he can shine. Thanks for being a part of this family :D

Because we got a second round for Bamba? You know Pat Bev is not gonna play in Orlando, right? I think we need to be fair in our judgements and I don't see any reason to say we fleeced LAL. I do think we won the Vuc trade. And Markelle for free is just unbelievable. However i think DEN won the Aaron Gordon's trade so far: AG x Gary Harris, RJ Hampton and this next draft 1st round DEN pick (25-30th pick). I say it because AG has grown so much these last seasons.

Oh don't get me wrong please. I love the kid and I know he's gonna give everything he can to improve. But you cannot be a long-term NBA player if you don't make shots and sadly that's been the situation this two season (I know, with all the injurys inbetween). He need to calm down and start to think a little more what he is gonna do everytime he is playing offense. I thing that's the challenge and I really hope he can make it.

I don't say it enough: I love Markelle, he made this team look different. We are +.500 since he came back and he is probably one of the biggest reasons of the team's present. Everytime someone say he is a bust it feels so unfair (I even heard they call him the worst #1 pick ever).

Critical win tonight. I loved the intensity (not so much the playing, but we won so... :P) What a nightmare season for Chicago. And what a failed project. I never imagined that the two picks that came from Vuc's trade would be so good. Go Magic!

Suggs is really hurting us in offense. He's completely out of control with his handle and shooting awful. Another setback game, i wish he could calm down a little sometimes.

I am nothing but grateful to T-Ross. Great guy, fearless shooter and the X Factor in that 2018 Playoff Run -we wouldn't make the postseason without him. I hope the Torch catch fire deep in the postseason this year.

I am focused on competing the rest of the regular season and try to make a play-in run. I don't think the FO helped that goal today, but the good news is that the East weakened a bit (compared to the west) and Chicago, Washington (direct rivals) did nothing. Thanks Kyrie???

Another disappointing deadline. In order to compete the rest of the season, we didn't improve the team. Say your truth, Weltman lovers

Payton and Wiseman worth 5 2nd each and Bamba just one? Weltman couldn't even sell well the bust he chose back in 2018

Yeah, actually Beverly will cost us more than Mo Bamba. I see Moe Wagner as a 4, not a center. I'm not defending Bamba, i'm just saying he had a friendly contract and now we just have a 2nd round and we almost never use them
