MagicOne, after the losing streak we as Magic fans have witnessed, every game we sit on the edge of our seats hoping for the best--to win. But every game you constantly post worst-case scenarios about our team and how the Magic will lose, and that is no fun. I know I can block you, but when another contributor replies to your posts, I want to read their opinions or rebuttals. In my opinion you need to stop with so many "worst-case scenarios"

I see Mr. Pessimistic from a few years ago has returned!

I think we can win this game y'all. Mr. Big Shot, Bobby Portis is out. I think Goga can handle Brook Lopez.

MAGIC AT BUCKS Fiserv Forum - Milwaukee, WI Saturday, March 8TH at 8:00 P.M. TV: Bally Sports FL  LET'S GO MAGIC!!!

I agree, JJZFL. From the instant replay close to and above the rim, Franz clearly missed the layup. But I'm not going to feel too bad about it. I felt sorry for Franz who gave it his all most of the game, especially in the 4th quarter. At the end of the game, he displayed his emotions and regrets for missing the shot as he bent over with his head in his hands, then walking toward the locker room without shaking hands. I really felt sorry for him. On to the next game. GO MAGIC!!!

Paolo looks extremely tired, worn out, and dejected. I can't blame him for what's happening to the team. (This is not criticizing your comment, All Eyes)

Why is WCJ starting at center now instead of Goga?

Jimmy Butler of the Golden State Warriors, formerly with the Miami Heat, says: "What?" and "Hello!" He was a mess with the Miami Heat and has helped my struggling Warriors improve their record since being traded there. Butler is a starting power forward on the Warriors. He has nothing but high praise for his new team/teamates and the Warriors' organization.

Okay, I don't know who Nico is or his reputation as a sports writer or reporter. Back to my point, and that is, the Magic are reporting that Suggs extended absence from playing is due to a bruised leg. Because as All Eyes On Me questioned in a previous post whether a "bruised leg" is bad enough to keep you off the court this long. I'm saying, if it is a bone fracture that the Magic are only reporting as a bruised leg, then I can understand why the Magic are taking precaution as to not cause further injury or even season ending injury. Why not be transparent and let the fans know exactly what Suggs injury is.

I was just reading this report about why the Mavs said they traded Luka Doncic. I'm wondering if the Mav's excuse or cover up is similar to how the Magic is treating Suggs situation. "According to Christian Clark, Mike Vorkunov and Fred Katz of The Athletic, "In November, Dončić missed five games with what the Mavericks announced as a right wrist sprain. That injury classification was not entirely true. In reality, Dončić was supposed to use time off to improve his conditioning, team sources said." "It was perhaps one of the straws that broke the camel's back. Per that report, "concern built, including with [general manager Nico] Harrison, that Dončić’s body would break down possibly sooner than anyone would suspect. It eventually reached a point where Harrison felt he had to move on from someone who could still one day be a league MVP." The point is, after Doncic missed 5 games last November. the Mavs said it was due to a right wrist sprain, but that was not true. In reality, Doncic was suppose to use time off to improve his conditioning. Now I'm not saying that in Suggs case it's a cover up where the Magic are using a bruised leg as an excuse for Suggs being out so long, but it makes you wonder if it is a cover up for some other serious injury that's keeping him out this long

It's his back, AE, it's his back. Remember the pictures I posted of different times and different games where Suggs fell on his back. The wording on one of the pictures indicated it was a serious back injury. Did y'all see how he grabbed his back while lying on the floor? Now I don't have inside information, but I believe they don't want us to panic about how serious his (back) injury is and how long it will take for Suggs to get back on the court, be it surgery or whatever. "Snoop" (me) TMF, did some research on NBA players who had debilitating back injuries that "put them out of commission" for a lengthy period of time. Larry Bird retired from basketball in 1992 due to debilitating back problems that would leave a normal man in traction for days, one source reported. According to another online article, Ben Simmons had back surgery twice, in May 2022 and March 2024 for a herniated disc in his lumbar spine. Now, I'm not saying definitively that Suggs problem is due to a back injury or herniated disc, but we shall see. I hope I'm wrong. I live with herniated discs and it makes it difficult to perform the smallest task. And by the way, I get leg pain off and on caused by the herniated discs. Edit: In reference to Simmons' leg pain, "Simmons was experiencing low back pain and leg pain, typical symptoms of a lumbar disc herniation".

GET BACK INTO THE GAME!

Edit: That is so wrong! But it's funny.

We are missing wide open shots while Denver is making a bunch. Oh, oh Denver just went deep into their bench and is still 30 pts ahead.

Okay, I'm going to be the "devil's advocate." Maybe the Magic are struggling because of the altitude. There you go.

I don't understand why players on any team argue with a referee. It doesn't do any good.

Jokic gets away with a lot. If one of our players barely touch him, it's a foul. A few minutes ago, Jokic kept pushing the Magic defender off with his arm, and no foul was called against him. It's his size.

Dennis Schröder Traded 3 Times in 24 Hours, Lands with Pistons at 2025 NBA Deadline Wow! That's amazing!

What I'm not okay with is Jimmy Butler, the class clown, having been traded to my Warriors. I hated it when Chris Paul played there last season.

I don't disagree with what you're saying. It happens many times in the nba. The warriors are my second favorite team, and when he was traded to the Warriors, I was okay with it because he played well with the Lakers. The Warriors were not a good fit for Shroeder(sp) and It's possible the Magic might not be a good fit for him either.

I agree 100%

Goga!!! Got that hook shot going.

And?, , , er. . .So? (directed at JJZL). I don't know if you read my post some time ago that Suggs style of play reminded me of Michael Carter Williams who played recklessly, out of control and was always injured. The point of my reply to MagicMan1979 was to say that being named to an all defensive team means nothing if you can't stay on your feet. Suggs doesn't help the Magic win games if he constantly gets injured from over-aggressive play resulting in injury.
