So we know the result …kudos to him …didn’t seem to bother him …with all the complaints we’ve made about this sitting guys for abnormal amounts of time …nice to have a story the complete opposite of what we’ve become conditioned too . Agree. I had exactly the same thought process Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrueMagicFan07 673 Report post Posted December 14, 2022 I thought I would copy and post the Magic's 2022 -2023 schedule to take a look at the Magic's record in the first quarter. There were 20 + (adding 6 more) games played in Quarter 1. I know that there are a total of 82(?) games played during the season. I drew a red line to separate the first half from the second half of Quarter 1. Look at how the losses played out above the red line as oppose to the losses below the red line. Season 2022 - 2023 Quarter 1 26 Games (Oct. 19 - Dec. 7, 2022) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Franchise408 116 Report post Posted December 15, 2022 So now that the Magic have 4 straight, including a 50 point quarter, are we starting to see some flashes of what this team can be capable of now that some key guys (i.e. Fultz) are getting healthy?

I think it’s more about having a true PG on the floor (no disrespect to Fultz.) I worried when their 2-5 point losses started to become blowouts about them imploding, but I’m thrilled with the progress they’ve made. We finally found some ballers.

Also, Markelle played really well tonight. i agree futz did everything you could ask of your starting PG scored, blocked, stole, and had 9 assists and stayed out of foul trouble i dont think he is an all star any more, but i think he will continue to get even better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreyMachine 398 Report post Posted December 15, 2022 in light of recent events, I see a recent conversation between Mosley and Weltman in his office going something like: Mosley: "You need to let us play at full capacity. This team can win. Let's stop with these overly cautious injuries and let's run." Weltman: "You know we aren't making the playoffs. We need to tank for Wemby. You know that." Mosley: "We can win NOW. We don't need him." Wetlman: "I beg to differ." Mosley: "Fine. I'll make you a deal. No more taking players out for non-existent injuries. We win 5 in a row and you give us back every player at full capacity. Jonathan. Wendell. Jalen. All of them." Weltman: "That's not going to happen." Mosley: "Prove me wrong." Wetlman: ".... Fine... But you have to do it in the next 10 games or else Bol is going down with a knew injury for 20 games." Mosley: "Fine... Just watch." *Mosley exits and calls a meeting with Franz and Paolo* Mosley: "You guys sick of losing? I have a way out....." 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
