If the New York Knicks will be having a fire sale, I would like the Magic to grab Mitchell Robinson to play center for the Magic. I didn't follow the Knicks during the regular season, but I was impressed and liked how he played during the playoffs. Mitchell Robinson - Center Ht/Wt - 7 ft 240 lbs.

Brunson was exposed in the series against the Pacers. He was real bad defending. Like Cole, he struggled to keep up with the player he was defending, and he fouled a lot. Brunson played well in the 2 games the Knicks won, other than that the Pacers defended him well and it was difficult for him to make his defender "break an ankle" with his crafty dribbling and shooting. The Pacers snuffed him out with 2 and 3-men defending him when he tried to cut to the basket.

I agree.

Well, the thing is when KAT played with Minnesota, we only played them once or twice(?) in a season. We play the Pacers 4 times in a season. For some reason, between the Pacers and the Knicks, I remember how much I disliked the Pacers a lot where Myles Turner has been one of there star players. The Pacers just had our number and always beat us. This was before Halliburton was drafted by the team. EDIT: One thing is for sure, OKC will beat whichever team wins the East.

I agree with you on both fronts, OnlyFranz. To be honest, I don't like either teams. I agree with you about KAT's demeanor--never liked him when he was in Minnesota. I also agree that Brunson whines a lot--don't like him either. But I always go with the "lesser of 2 evils". :)

I hope the Knicks can pull this one out and win the East. I'm not a Karl-Anthony Towns fan, but I definitely don't like Haliburton and the Pacers. Haliburton is too much of a whiner. He thinks he's all that.

I agree. I'm glad I decided to watch more playoffs. It's shows the difference between great basketball and average and below average basketball.

A few days ago, I was saying to myself, "I wish the Magic could get Garland on our team".

I agree. Watching how these teams are playing in the playoffs is exciting. Everything has been fast paced. The ball movement has been a joy to watch. "Nobody ball watching in these playoffs", as you stated. Orlandoholic. I had decided not to watch the rest of the playoffs after the Magic's exit, but I couldn't resist watching my second favorite team (Golden State). After their exit, I decided to watch more playoffs. I guess watching NBA basketball is in my blood. :)

I was talking about Cole when he dribbled right into a crowd underneath the basket. He was determined to put the ball into the basket. Instead of passing the ball out to a teammate, he just kept going and going until he got the ball stolen. Typical Cole. I'm sorry, I just saw your post.

I don't know why he goes dribbling into a crowd like that and loses the ball. Then he has this silly look on his face, like__"huh? What did I do? I didn't get any help!"

You know I'm tuned in. . .after the big win by our Magic. Thanks, MagicOne!

Thank you, JJZFL. Someone had to tell him. I'm sick and tired of it. He's the same one who said crazy stuff like this a few years ago.

You tell 'em big guy! (I don't know if you are big or not :P ) No disrespect to the other participants who are slightly or not at all giving major props to Cory Joseph. What you said about him, All Eyes On Me, are my sentiments. I know we are looking ahead to the future, but look at where we are right NOW. We would not be where we are right now if CoJo had not been called upon to lead us to the Magic Land, mainly due to injuries. Some have been putting emphasis on his age, but he doesn't look that old, and he has a lot of zip and court vision than starters I have seen on other teams, and some here have been saying he shouldn't be in the league. Let's enjoy the ride. LET'S GO MAGIC!!!

Whoa, Albert Lergier! Why are you on the Magics' message board doing a breakdown of how the Nuggets will fare. You know I love you. The Nuggets must be your second favorite team. :)

 MAGIC AT HAWKS ~SUNDAY~ State Farm Arena - Atlanta, GA Sunday, April 13th at 1:00 P.M. EST TV: FanDuel Sports Network

I agree. I, along with other participants like JJZL have been saying this for the longest. Not running the ball is what has been lacking. When I watch some of the other teams, they push the ball up the floor on offense. Our point guards, not name Jacobs, like to take their time putting the ball on the floor and let it roll across the half court line before picking it up. By running the ball at fast pace, it doesn't give the opponent time to set up on defense. I love the way our bench players played--ball movement and finding the open man.

MAGIC AT PACERS Gainbridge Fieldhouse - Indianapolis, IN Friday, April 11th at 7:00 P.M. EST TV: FanDuel TV (formerly Bally Sports TV)

I understand that the product the Bucks had on the floor last night were unrecognizable bench players. However, our bench players played very well. This was the point I was making in my post 20 hrs. ago after the game against the Hawks. The Magic's bench players need to be given an opportunity to play significant minutes down the stretch to see what we have (possibly if needed going into the playoffs--a bench with a significant bunch of roleplayers who wouldn't miss a beat while some of the starters are resting). Playing the bench last night gave the Magic a different look that other teams are not use to seeing. We couldn't see that in the Hawks game the other night because the starters played heavy minutes. GO MAGIC!!!!

Could someone help me with a stream for tonight's game. The one I was using doesn't work anymore. Thanks.

I am very happy that we won against the Hawks last night. Most of you know that I am a die-hard Magic fan. But my biggest concern is we have a few games to go in the regular season, then perhaps the playin. But the way the Magic played last night is not sustainable. We all know injuries do happen. First: All 5 starters played a lot of minutes and scored a lot of points. **Banchero played 37 minutes and Franz played 40 minutes** We've got to get more help from the bench (hopefully in scoring). Second: I couldn't watch the game, so I don't know who came off the bench first, AB or Cole. As much as we complain about Cole, he does get hot every now and then. Last night, he played 10 minutes and scored only one point. Third: Who was the backup center last night? I saw where Goga was listed as DNP. Is he injured?. At some point we need him against taller, bigger centers on other teams.

In reading this post, MagicOne, you had better be careful because some people might think you are one doughnut short of a dozen. :)

I'm sorry, MagicOne. It did not look good. For me, it was like when I was able to watch the games won, maybe it looked good because I could see the game (visually), but when I had to read the Gamecast, the script gave me a whole different perspective about how, method, or approach to the way the Magic were playing

I have to agree with you Argentina. I had been streaming games until tonight. I had to follow the game on ESPN gamecast. To my amazement, most of the action was from Paolo Banchero, followed by Franz (mostly from Banchero). It was like reading a chat transcript online. There was hardly any interaction from other members of the team--for example: Banchero attempts a jumpshot...Banchero grabs a rebound...Banchero makes a jumpshot...Banchero grabs a rebound.......... Yeah, I saw Franz name once and a while, also, WCJ and KCP added something to the win. But I hardly saw any other players' names. This did not look good.
