I find it hard to believe we lose Paolo and somehow our team turns into a defensive juggernaut that that stat sheet shows while allowing like 120+ PPG in the last 4 straight games. Chuma defended Luka the majority of the game and did a very good job. Defending Luka was also by committee. Bol Bol was up in his face a few times at the top of the 3 pt. line. Six Magic players each blocked a shot--Okeke, Carter, Bol, Bama, Suggs, Hampton. They were blocking Mavericks shots by committee. :) Over all, the Magic did a very good job on defense! Edit: Luka looked frustrated the entire game, and was always looking for the refs' whistle. He was even put on his butt a couple of times under the basket. He is a player who was always bubbly, bouncing around and flexing his muscles after making a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be even more specific i don't think it's possible for the Lakers to make the playoffs this year. It would take a miracle and perfect health from LeBron and Davis. So the Pelicans are going to have a chance at the number one if the lotto balls like them. Double edit. Just for fun i fired up the old tankathon sim lottery and the first run had the Lakers pick being number 1 and going to the Pelicans! LOL https://www.tankathon.com/ Thanks hootie …I just assumed my son had checked lol …wow the PELS looming large …I know that simulation shows the Magic picking high again but I am sick of the lottery picks …it’s time for the Magic to start winning …we’ve got lottery pick after lottery pick already on the roster 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All Eyes On Me 1,315 Report post Posted November 10, 2022 Another season where Markelle is gonna miss at least close to half of it. I love the kid, and he’s mega talented, but he’s one more injury away from us not picking up his option, if that ship hasn’t already sailed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just posted on exactly this topic in the Dallas game thread. I can’t explain it, but our defense definitely looked much better than the recent Swiss cheese performances. It wasn’t simply a matter of Dallas missing open looks. I don’t know what changed, but I hope we can figure it out so that it continues, Banchero or no Banchero.
