Emergency topic!

Bol Bol is running naked around the court

1/9 3PT 1st quarter (most of them open) 9/21 from the field Good news is we only trail by 6

Interesting start for the magic Bamba and Houstan first men off the bench

Ivey has some Ja Morant's flashes. I can't help been a little jealous of Detroit in this regard. Hell I'm glad the season has started

I think Bamba literally was at the top 5 shot blockers last season. Come on, he played just 12 minutes tonight, no reason to overreact.

Kind of a heartbreaking loss tonight, uh? I can't believe we can't catch a break with the injuries... Anyone knows for certain what happened with Cole tonight? There are some bright spots to get hype, but I want to win a little bit this season and I don't get what's the point with some of the line-ups we saw tonight. I hope that Mosley also wants to win more than 22 games this season.

No news about Gary Harris or Ross, right? I'd like to keep GH especially. Bamba news are good news, I think. Let the kids play a little longer

After all the drama last night, today I meditated a little bit and I think now I can pronunce some sentences about it. Please don’t take it as a moaning, it’s not. I really like Banchero. I really see in him a terryfic offensive player, with a lot of strenght and the will to succeed. I think he can do the Magic’s offense better in a lot of ways. But I still think Jabari was the #1, for several reasons: defense, shooting, development ceiling… I can live with this just fine. But I still don’t fully understand some things around the draft process or the GM’s moves. 1) Why hiding so much your pick when you have the number one? 2) Why didn’t you bring your number one player to practice? If the answer to the first question is that they expected to trade down with Houston, that was a gigantic fail. If the answer to the second question is that Banchero didn’t want to working out, why can’t you talk to him and make him see that you are really considering him as the number one pick? I’m not comfortable with treating the GM like the are all-knowing persons, and right now I’m very confused about the Magic ones after the draft. And I think we earned as fans the right to question their decisions. With all been said, I hope Banchero lead us to the glory. And that’s all I’ve got to say about that :P (sorry for my grammar, I'm not a native)

Still waiting for that trade...:'(

Wtf man

I don't see why the Sixers could want to do this... But bringing Tobias doesn't make sense with the rebuilding's plan either.. Only trades that IMO make sense right now are the ones around draft picks Edit: sorry I quoted the wrong comment

YEEEEEAHHH!!! Smith or Banchero pleaseeee

Thanks for the thread! The east is exciting AF this year. Celtics-BKN, I can't wait

I'm tired of people telling me that losing winnable matches without competing (in a humiliating way) worths a 2% higher chance of having a number 1 pick, that nobody knows even who will be.

I'd be ok with keeping Moe and Iggy in the game, rewarding them for the effort. But what's the point (except from the tanking) in letting tired GLeaguears playing the clutch? It ruined the game. See ya in october Mosley mf

Well, I watched the game all from the beginning and I'm pretty sure this was the last for me this season. Deep bench playing all the 4th quarter, I mean haha

Please God make this season ends

Right now I don't really know what kind of basketball player JI can be after two years of absence. I'm talking about things like muscle memory, coordination, in-game instincts... Actually, *IF* he is back at the beginning of the next season it would be more than two years: 26, 27 months. I can't even remember what I was doing 27 months ago :P

We didn't say a thing about the absurd challenge that Mosley took (once again), before the clutch. I think Mosley is probably our worst clutch man.

Probably he would be injured his all career xD

Cole's decision making + the absence of any kind of offensive plan down the stretch... I think I already watched this. Fun game despite the heartbreaking loss

It's like he's using a empty-answers generator over and over.

So I guess we won't see Fultz playing on this homestand either, right? -.-

Well, that was one of the worst dunk contest that I remember. And Cole wearing the Knicks jersey on the first attempt didn't make it better...
