    https://www.theringer.com/the-bill-simmons-podcast/2024/3/22/24108344/orlando-magic-john-calipari-kentucky-future-anthony-edwards-experience Bill Simmons and The Ringer gushing about The Magic! Man people love Suggs. Simmons called him the best defensive guard in the league. He also says having Issak is like putting in Bill Russel for 15 minutes every night. What an amazing season for us as fans.

    78% his last ten games. Paolo is 81.8% his last ten which is great news. https://www.espn.com/nba/team/roster/_/name/orl/orlando-magic

    He’s not he shoots 84.4% this year from the free throw line and is a career 84.8%. It’s the only area he beats Paolo. But Wagner’s three point shot has disappeared.

    I was thinking the same thing. He looked like he was auditioning.

    It has helped with tanking for sure.

    We play The Knick’s Friday and The Pacers who we’ve beaten every game so far Sunday. We need those two for seeding.

    This is going to be a fun end to the season. Every single game counts so much. The NBA has to be happy with the competition.

    Thats funny I think the same way with Cole. He hit two shots and waived Paolo off for his third (which he missed). I knew that third **** was going up no matter what. I think MJ could be out there and Cole would tell him “I got this.”

    I hope Isaak is okay.

    No but I would keep my eye on Bridges this summer and that team in general. I just can’t figure out what they should do moving forward with non of their own draft picks. They could be sellers this summer or try to trade their other picks from other teams for a good player.

    He is a decent player for sure but man that is a huge contract.

    I’m just making sure you know all the board members want us to win. I can’t believe Fultz is out tonight btw.

    Great post and information for sure. Could have done without your premature victory lap though Junkie lol…….We all want them to get the highest seed possible right?

    Turk was already here and we lucked into that lineup. Lewis was supposed to be our SF but Battie got hurt and it all worked out. Paolo in his last ten games is averaging 25 Pts 6 Rebs 7 Assist with only 2.3 Turnovers. He also is shooting 52% from the field and 43% on threes. Franz in his last ten games is averaging 23 Pts 5 Rebs 5 Assist with only 2.1 Turnovers. He also is shooting 51% from the field and 36% on threes. I am not worried about their play making or turnovers this year. Obviously this year is a developmental year as we didn’t make a move for a shooter via trade. I am not sure what the coaching staff can do with the current personal to change the offense much but we are good defensively. I don’t think increasing Fultz usage is the way to go as it takes away from our two studs development. They both have improved with playmaking as the year as gone along as you can see. Hopefully Fultz just gets healthier and can contribute organically.

    Lol must have been too young to watch them play. Shaq is a top 15 player all time. Dwight is a top 100 player. Shaq owns Dwight in every way. Also no sexual assault. Imagine retiring Dwights jersey with all of his shenanigans the last few years.

    Not a good quarter at all.

    Getting knocked out of The Play In and not even making The Playoffs is my worst case scenario. If we can win two games in the first round that is the best case scenario in my opinion.

    I will probably be there also Junkie rooting him on. I’m trying to get tickets for my parents as well as they are in their 80s. It might be the last time they get to go to a game and we all have a lot of great memories of The Shaq and Penny era. Very optimistic prediction and I hope your right. Go Magic!!

    I hope he does that to Chet also when we play them. I also want Paolo to dunk on him.

    Another issue with waiting until the summer is The New CBA kicks in this summer. It will be interesting how that effects team building.
