These guys really proved me wrong today. They showed up big time.

Dang Harris airballing that three was lame. Would've been nice to go up by 8 at half with the momentum. 17 minutes and 0 points. 0-2 on threes. I know generally he shoots a pretty good percentage from three, but overall, he just doesn't bring much to the team.

No the Knicks can take it still

This game sucked to watch because I really wanted us to draft Maxey in 2020.

This team can't compete against any of the tops teams in the east. We're gonna make the playoffs, which is great and all. But it's gonna be ugly I fear.

I'd be shocked if this team won their first round series to be brutally honest. I just don't see it happening against the Knicks or Cavs or whoever we end up playing.

That game was very winnable and the offense just stunk. Two straight turnovers in that final minute by Banchero really killed this one.

The game isn't over yet. It's not looking good obviously but it's never over until it's over.

This team is always so horrid in 3rd quarters. Costing us a lot of games so far.

Turnovers + missed free throws down the stretch usually gets you beat. They pulled it out anyway though.

Yeah now let's just hope the Lakers lose.

Also looking at some of these other stats, Elfrid Payton is our franchise leader in triple doubles with 8. Turkoglu and Vucevic are under him with 3 each. Minutes played - Dwight Howard leads with 22,471. Nick Anderson is 2nd with 22,440. Howard beat him by 31 minutes. Nelson is 3rd with 19,038 minutes played. Nikola Vucevic is by far our leader in FGs made with 4490 over Anderson's 4075. Vucevic and Anderson are also by far our leaders in FGs attempted with 9003 and 8976 respectively.

Dennis Scott, Nick Anderson, Evan Fournier, Jameer Nelson, and Hedo Turkoglu if you go by 3 pointers made and attempted. Terrence Ross is 6th in those categories. If you go just by 3%, it's...sad. A lot of these guys were only on the Magic for such a short period, it shouldn't even count. Cuttino Mobley, Jodie Meeks, Courtney Lee, Dennis Scott, and Brian Cook. Rashard, Redick, and Garrity are all just under them. Cuttino Mobley shot 46.4% during his 23 games as a Magic player in 04-05.

Getting our poop pushed in badly tonight. Eventually it comes down to we just need guys who can make 3 pointers. I hate that the league is just a 3 point chucking contest at this point but it is what it is. If you can't make em, you aren't gonna win a lot of games. We've all seen that for a long time now.

I really don't get what they're doing with this lineup sometimes.

These refs really don't like the Magic. But I hate that excuse. Gotta put these games away down the stretch. Even if there is some pretty one-sided officiating.

This team is really starting to shape up. I can feel the tide turning.

When Vucevic was at the line, I thought to myself the odds of him missing one or both free throws and the Magic making a three pointer to tie or win was about 1%. That's what it felt like anyway.

LOL. They won the game but your post was still right on. Especially about the damn officiating.

I can hardly even watch the NBA anymore with the crap officiating. It's worse than ever and that's really saying something considering how bad it's always been. Also, this team could write a book on how to lose games in the 4th quarter. It's truly amazing. And then they win off 2 missed Vucevic free throws and a cold blooded 3 pointer from Suggs. LOL.

Well that's a crappy way to lose a game. Fight to come back and miraculously tie the game and they win off some junk 42 footer at the horn. Furthermore, why was there no game thread today?

Remember how everyone thought Suggs was the prize and Scottie Barnes was the bust. LOL. I knew it before it even happened because of what the internet was saying. Go against the idiots on the internet and you'll come out good most of the time.

This team sucks big time but the future looks bright as hell. Banchero is a stud and we're gonna have another top lottery pick in an awesome draft class. Wembanyama would be great, but Scoot Henderson or either of the Arkansas guards would work as well.

Cole Anthony missing the dunk. Eesh. Game was probably over either way but come on dude.

Well at least we might be in the running for Victor Wembanyama...
