    We are all Magic fans. We want the team to win. Pointing out that has 1 three pointer all year doesn’t mean we hate him.  He would be better off  the bench….Great kid in my opinion. 

    No that’s not a problem …lots and lots of people wanted him traded …he’s been back a handful of games and actually attempted 2 three pointers making one …we still have over 30 games left …give the guys a chance …in the meantime Weltham gave the mob the finger lol

    Said differently, nobody knows how high a 21 year old Paolo and 22 year old Franz can lift this average supporting cast who we very much know what they can do.


    I'll get back to being excited for what we are, but we have a clear ceiling this year that management is ok with and I’m going to take the rest of the day til tip-off tonight to be disappointed about.

    Go for it sir …but I do commend you for  being like the only one to comment that Fultz was the only one playing with a purpose the other night …I honestly believe people root for him to fail …well he’s here to the end of the year now …let’s see what he can do

    • The Magic have taken less than 30% of their shots from 3-point range in each of these last three wins, having done so just six times in their first 47 games. They’re 7-2 in those nine games overall, in part because they have the league’s fourth biggest differential between their 2-point value (107.9 points per 100 shots) and their 3-point value (103.5 per 100).

    The Magic’s five-game trip concludes on Tuesday in Miami, where they lost an ugly one (one of 11 games this season in which both teams scored less than 100 points) last month. They’re a game ahead of the Heat for seventh place in the East (and first in the Southeast Division).

    no we don't NEED...AB IS THE FUTURE 

    I got more on AB but I’ll wait till later to post …back on Fultz subject …the Magic are 4-2 since he became a starter again …only losses by 2 points to Dallas and 1 point to Memphis …of the 4 wins, 18 point win over Miami who had previously drubbed us twice …15 point win over Phoenix …and 2 point win over Minnesota …game in which Mohs introduced us to the “Death” lineup …all 3 of those teams had their full compliment of players and came into our game playing very good basketball 

    Edit: Fultz is actually 4-1 as a starter …he did not play the Dallas game cause was a back to back

    I said he’s a liability with the starters! 

    Amd you are basically proving my point!! I especially said that i like Fultz as the leader of the second unit. You basically proofed my point. 

    Fultz as a starter makes no sense anymore. But he’s a major player as the leader of our second unit! 

    A net 10.0 is a liability ? …but I get what you’re saying and it comes down to shooting the 3 …we’ll see if the team makes any adjustments personnel or lineup combinations …or if Fultz expands his game which he says he will do the more he plays …but that net does not show me any liability …and that group has logged the second most minutes on the team …GO MAGIC !

    the starting unit sans Fultz brought the team back.. 

    I’m not hating on Fultz. If you read my comment right, you hear that i love the player, the personality. 

    But it’s a fact that the Wolves discovered that Fultz can’t shoot outside the paint and therefore they successfully schemed Gobert to guard Fultz. The Wolves had a big lead. 

    Mosley actually made adjustments and therefore Fultz didn’t close out the game. 

    Those are facts! The Wolves coach would have never schemed Gobert to guard Simons, Murray or Tyus Jones (who are all seen like good fits for us)

    Playing Fultz off ball in the starting unit is a big liability! I stand by those words. And i say it again. I love the player and i would extend him on a good deal for sure!

    Fultz was a plus 4 in his time on the court …so you can pick whatever spots you want in the game for when they either fell behind or came back …and that closing lineup I loved …Jalen was the only guard and since he’s exceeding expectations this season shooting the 3 I had no problem with it …actually preferred it …but I do think Fultz or even Black are good defenders them selves …yeah I know you’re not hating and you’re a good poster …I enjoy reading your stuff …I would suggest you look up the numbers for which lineups are the most effective …Fultz is also an overall positive in his time on the court …I posted it a couple days ago some of the numbers are head scratchers …Banchero and Suggs near the top in the negatives …But Zach Lowe said Banchero numbers were more a reflection of who he’s been playing with and not on himself …he also said he was dying to see the death lineup and he finally did lol
