Magic vs 76ers_6:00 PM on Sunday, Nov. 27th
South_Aussie_Magic replied to TrueMagicFan07's topic in Orlando Magic Forum
Love the injured hero TMF lol Who on earth is even playing this one. I was getting excited by all this Markelle hype now I just don't know!! This season is already a rollercoaster -
I could be completely wrong but didn't he also not realise it was fractured until training camp? Wouldn't that also set him back if he needed to have a small procedure if he was letting it heal while it was broken unevenly?
-
hah ... Eric Gordon with the "I'm too old for this ****" face
-
meanwhile i'd be way more satisfied with what nurkic brought against lal... mo wont rebound if he's not getting buckets
-
How often would you guys say that when the lottery looks up in the air as it did and the dust settled that THIS many of the top picks have all been fairly impressive so far. I'd be happy if we had Ivey, Mathurin, anyone. I totally think Paolo looks the goods though. He's got the it.

Ok, I'm game: Best offensive player will be? Banchero, and if he is not, we are back at the drawing board. Best defensive player will be? Splashiest might be Suggs and I'd love it if he got attention and recognition for it, but effectiveness-wise, I fully expect Carter to anchor our operation on that end. I'd hope that they can be exceptional within the next couple of years. Doubt either of them are ever DPOY candidates but this should be the answer regardless. We all know it'll be JI if he has any sliver of a chance at being in the NBA in 10 years. Team MVP will be? Not sure if this is in terms of play or culture, but if it's culture, I think Cole and Franz are the glue. Terms of play, Banchero is already the leader. Record will be? I'm going to throw caution to the wind for the first time in a dozen years and say 31-51
-
Agreed, the take aways being that we have a squad full of guys who don't quit, which is what we always saw when they used to lose a late lead in the previous incarnation. Fall behind by a couple, lost confidence, boom 10 point loss.
-
As much as this is all justified, at least with Kelle, Cole and Jalen around there is no reason for him to take ball handling duties. And I don't think they'd stand for the rubbish he pulled in SL
-
Yeah the rationale is all fine, I am just honestly confused that the name hasn't run past me at all before. Or I've completely blanked it. 5 Star you say..
-
who on earth IS that? lol
-
Not sure he meant Arenas when we got him... just Arenas in his prime. A volume scorer with low IQ who put himself before the team. I'm pretty sure Mitchell is mentally better than Arenas (most people are), but in the sense that they aren't going to win you much on their own, it's sort of fair.
-
I really thought the writing was on the wall for Ross when we kept Gary Harris and signed RoLo.. he must just be a great locker room guy.
-
If it pans out, the one thing we have been waiting for since Dwight, or maybe even TMac if we want to talk true 1st option
-
I really really hope Suggs picks it up this year
-
Washington really commit to their absolutely stunning mediocrity don't they?
-
WELCOME: ROOKIES PAOLO BANCHERO AND CALEB HOUSTAN

That would be a twist indeed. We could use a miraculous story of an unlikely rise to prominence -
no mincing words today, then, Jay lol
-
A few summers? I swear I remember that when I started lurking and watching what you guys would write and discuss in like 2009/10 ish lol Everyone's getting old, Trey lol
-
Hey that was my first sports heartbreak too lol. Nothing else has been as devastating. I was already numb by the time Beckham left Manchester United for Real Madrid
-
Have to agree, obviously i'd feel safer taking this final hurrah for the Warriors but I guess they could power through a whole series.
-
If I had money, that'd be where it would go too lol. Doesn't look like Miami is healthy enough or together enough to come back from it, but Boston is due for a couple of average games
-
Well finally! The only good thing to happen in my little bubble today
-
Maybe that could become a standard feature of the revamped draft combine
-
Are we saving this one for posterity? lol Argh i just hope whatever it is we get it right this time
-
I admit I am utterly ignorant but aside from being alright when I've seen him fill in for Luka - how can we indicate that his ceiling is that high and it's not somewhat of a product of him not being specifically scouted for as that 1 / 2 option? Having said that - if we could get him for Bamba and Ross I wouldn't be opposed personally. Nothing like a change up
