Defense was poor, but they kept their heads up even though 3s weren't falling for anyone but Aaron Gordon. Nice win, very surprising to be 3-1 let's see how it continues to go.

Yes. I just don't want to get too far ahead of myself. But it is exciting to have a potentially competitive team. With three guys capable of scoring 30+ and decent depth, AND we still don't know how good Isaac can be. 

What a good night.

There is a very different feel to this team, I think our boys are growing up, and at the right time! I would love to see them all get hot in January, all the way through to the allstar break!

I felt a little cheated after the Cleveland win because we made everything and that's not a sustainable way to win games.  

This win was important.  We couldn't hit ****.  We were sloppy.  We got stops when we needed them and pulled out a win.  We out gritted a gritty team.  That's something that we can build off of.  This is sustainable.  We can repeat this team performance every night. 

Exactly. We gutted out a win with a 4th quarter comeback after a patented Orlando Magic 3rd quarter. That's something GOOD teams do. With 6 min to go I had that sinking feeling of "here we go again".

That's all I want for Christmas.

AG was a man tonight. Our guards got slaughtered, but I can't complain about 3-1 with have the last few years have gone. May AG continue this type of play and Payton hurry back!

How did this lineup look?

Hard to say because it was at the end where things get choppy with timeouts.  It worked.  I wouldn't play it too often.  Its a 4 minute ***** you up lineup

Augustin is playing about as well as you could ever ask of him

I think your right, but I hope to get Elf back quickly.

Ok.  Gordon with 41 points. Vucevic having an elite season.....3-1?... comebacks and blowout victories.  What have I missed?

Are they serious?  I guess I'll watch a full magic game for once which i haven't happened in a year.  I stop taking the team seriously.  Someone enlighten me.  I'm ignorant to all this now.

Who is truly responsible for the current growth?  That's the question for me. Is it a year of coaching staff development?  Is the front office instilling a new premise of this teams identity?  Is it the players approach to the game.

Is it all of this?
