Cole has been playing some really good ball offense and defense but I wish he'd stop doing that roll the ball up the court thing. Correct me if I'm wrong but that strategy is used for saving time when your behind in the score and don't want the clock to start. Someone should tell him that when you're up 10 with two minutes to go you want the clock to move as much as possible. He did this again tonight almost daring the defender to make a move on him and it nearly bit him.
Good game but much closer than it needed to be,

Embid and WCJ may be out tonight. If that's the case Mo will have to find someone else to pick on.

Terrible officiating our guys got hacked a lot going to the rim add that to Kessler doing his best Mutombo which caused them to either go too hard off the glass or leave their shots short off the front of the rim.
Everyone says this team needs a reliable scoring two guard and I agree but getting out rebounded by twenty and giving up so many easy lay ups tells us we still need some sort of bad a$$ stopper in the front court, maybe Issac if he gets back can be that guy because Bamba and Moe Wag sure aren't.

These guys have really been good lately. In the last ten games only Brooklyn has a better record. I'm thinking 6 seed.

The main problem with Palo on the last defensive possession is him and Murray have bad blood and I think he just got a little too aggressive. He probably could have gotten by with much less effort and Murray still would have missed the shot.

I was just combing through the box scores this morning and noticed Houston shot 3 for 29 from three last night. 3 for 29

Was Gary Trent auditioning?
Bamba had 13 rebounds in 17 minutes, imagine if he actually had a motor.
Franz is Larry Bird
Good win, good night.

Nah, forget Manu Franz is Larry Bird

Trade T. Ross and the Denver 1st
for
Moses Moody and a future second
Seems this could help both teams. Gives us a young sharpshooter, and gives GS a proven vet off the bench. I think it’d take the 1st because Moody is only in his second year of his rookie deal.
I absolutely love this trade.

Not pissed at Mose either yet. He's being expected to win without a PG and 2 years without his best defender and the greenest team I have ever seen.
He's not going to end up being THE GUY but right now he may as well have to also coach blindfolded too with as many challenges as he has here
Those are very good points.
Do you think Hardy Nickerson can play point guard?

Game recap 20% from 3, 14 assists, no point guard and Bamba is terrible.

Ben Mathurin damn

We are all pretty happy with Franz playing the point forward but you can't leave him out there with no other ball handlers on the floor. And he can't be expected to do it all game long. It's a great option to have but there were a lot of times where he was getting pressed and that had to take a lot out of him. When Fultz gets back this should open him up do do some of the other things he does well (cutting and moving without the ball).
Over all looking at this game and the Memphis pre season game I have to say this is some of the most entertaining basketball this team has played in many years.

Excellent job on the starter thread TMF. One game at a time boys and girls.

This should be the most interesting season for the Magic in quite some time. There are many questions, hopes and expectations, it all remains to be seen.
One thing that I am really hoping for is that we may have found a second round pick that can actually contribute. I'm really sick of watching teams like the heat keep pulling these diamonds out of their a$$ while we sell our seconds for considerations. Houstan has a sweet shot looks like he works hard on defense and is smart. Let's hope Mosley can find a productive spot for him.

His stat line was impressive last night.

I was looking through the NBA rosters for a two guard that would fit this team and there aren't that many options. Let's hope Suggs can find a shot.
On an unrelated topic Jeff Green, Serge Ibaka and Bismac Biyambo are all still in the league.

I think that the Mitchell trade definitely puts Cleveland in the playoffs. It probably also puts Chicago in the play in or worse increasing the value of their pick next year. Boom

1 hour ago, Soul Bro said:Very impressed with Banchero and Houston last night. The smallest critique I have for Paulo is letting his guy blow by him a couple of times, but overall he looked like a star. Also a huge shout out to WeltHam and Mosley. The chemistry and culture they’ve built with these young guys is really impressive. For those players to give up vacation to cheer on our summer league guys? That’s selfless right there.
I agree it was just what we wanted to see from the rooks. It's great that there is such a good amount of support being shown by our young guys but let's not lose sight that it is Vegas.

Like a few of you are saying our two golden boys have hit the proverbial wall and with both playing in the rising stars I''m not sure how much rest they'll get over the break. Palo's free throws are down and Franz has missed too many right at the rim.
The officiating in this one was pretty bad, the charge on Markell was an obvious and one and the mugging of WCJ sure looked like a foul to me. It makes me mad and that's good because for as hard as this team plays the now deserve better.
However the thing to me that is the worst is the fact that half the arena is yelling lets go heat. I'm buying tickets tomorrow to the next heat game in March so at least there will be two more fans there cheering for the Magic. I hope you'll join me. Peace.
