And tries to play 'hero ball'

All of what you said about Cole is true.

I was going to jokingly say that the trainers need to duct tape JI's legs. I was curious about taping someone's legs so I looked it up. Why do people put tape around their legs? Preventing Injury This added support can help prevent sprains, breaks, or other injuries that may occur from exercise and competitive sports. Athletes also use less restrictive tape to help prevent injuries. Elastic therapeutic tape is one of the most popular types of athletic tape.

An ugly air ball by AB

Absolutely! That is what I was referring to in an earlier post when I said AB should not have been on the court in the latter part of the 4th quarter. Point guards are suppose to be floor generals and scorers . Remember (on the Magic) Jameer Nelson, DJ Augustin. We can include Kelle when he was healthy. AB just looks clueless out there. And for his height (6'7"), he should be able to shoot and score over shorter point guards. He's no Magic Johnson--far from it--but Magic Johnson was an outstanding 6'8" point guard and awesome in scoring and assists.

But at what point? When the Magic came back down the court, I thought I saw Banchero with the ball near the top of the key with one defender near by. I kept saying to myself "drive the ball" (into the paint." )

I agree. What were we suppose to get from AB? He does not shoot the ball.

When Paolo had the ball, I was hoping he would drive into the paint to get a foul call.

I've been alluding to this, and I don't feel he is nba ready. Sometimes he runs around like "a chicken with it's neck cut off". I would have rather seen Kelle or even Cole on the floor in the last few minutes of the 4th quarter.

Wendell just lets JJ push him around under the basket. He is no match up for bigger, stronger centers.

I say AB shouldn't be out there and Goga should be given minutes.

I agree. Including moving Wendell Carter Jr. back to the starting center position. /showcase?

BREAKING: NBA All-Star Has Labral Tear In His Right Shoulder Ja Morant Has Torn Labrum Ruled Out For Remainder of Season ___________________________________________________________________ We’ve seen several star players go down over the past few days, so it’s time to analyze the aftermath of all of these injuries, while determining which players are poised to benefit the most. Ja Morant has a labral tear in his right shoulder — he’s out for the season After a long wait, Morant’s fans and fantasy managers were hyped to see him on the court and thriving again. Unfortunately, Ja’s 2023-24 season lasted just nine games, as he’s been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a labral tear in his right shoulder. It’s a tough pill to swallow if you were counting on Morant, because his fantasy teams were poised to climb up the standings. Tyrese Haliburton hurt his hammy — It could have been much worse LINK: https://theathletic.com/5190288/2024/01/09/ja-mornat-tyrese-haliburton-injury-replacements/ redirected=1&source=googlesearch&access_token=14868692&isNewUser=1

Goga did good for us as a rim protector and using his body as a shield in the paint.

 MAGIC VS HAWKS ~SUNDAY~ KIA CENTER - ORLANDO, FL Sunday, January 07th at 6:00 P.M. EST TV: Bally Sports FL

I agree. As Ball Junkie mentioned in another post, Shaq called Orlando "a dried up little pond". I have been a Magic fan since it's inception. I also remember Shaq describing himself as "a big fish in a dried up little pond" I remember watching the news everyday for Shaq's decision__whether to stay with the Magic or join the Lakers. In the news cast where Shaq made his decision, he didn't say anything, he just held up the Lakers jersey. I was so heart broken.

I agree 100% You saw how the Nuggets' bench played the majority of the third quarter and up to 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter. I was wondering when their starters were going to come back into the game. Then the starters strutted onto to the court like, "we got this". But, boy, were they in for a big surprise. The Magic kept their poise and their foot on the pedal.

122 pts. during the regular game, and we didn't have to play 2 overtimes like my 2nd favorite team (Golden State) had to do last night, and GS still lost.

Can you believe this? The Magic has beaten the reigning NBA champs twice. We swept them during the 2023-24 season and with a depleted Magic bench. We have depth, and we can beat any team. GO MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was a foul.

Jokic looks tired. Nuggets are on a back to back double overtime--Let's wear them down boys! I know you are dealing with the altitude too, but you are young---/suck it up!

The boys are fighting. LET'S GO!!!

I agree.

The Nuggets' fans look bored. I'm pretty sure that most of them are aware that the Magic's team is decimated or devoid of their best players due to injuries, and the Nuggets are playing down to the competition.
