Magic last 5 opponents:

86 PTS
90 PTS
89 PTS
94 PTS
88 PTS

They are absolutely suffocating teams right now

Especially impressive in this era of 3pt shooting

Add another one to the list of teams held to under 100. 

Anthony Black is really starting to develop as a ball handler and creator. He still has some dumb young player moments but he also makes a huge impact with his defense and his playmaking. 

Franz has been on a tear. 

Very good Goga game but it was against a team who's only healthy big was a rookie so you'd expect him to make an impact. 

Suggs still has those erratic games where he doesn't make an impact on offense and turns the ball over too much but hopefully he'll get there. 

I thought Mosely really coached the end of this game well.

Suggs problem is that he is trying to do stuff he is naturally not capable of. I think you are referring to these hero ball moments. 
Mimi that’s where most of his stupid turnovers come from. 

I also think he will develop this type of game either. He was like this olin college and nothing suggests he can magically develop in that true playmaker, ball handling type PG.

PHO was really undermanned, and their depth is awful, so the absences count even more, but one thing is to win those kind of games at home (like we did with NO) and another away.

So, good win, seems like everyone has learned what to do without Paolo after a rough stretch, and that experience could be really valuable in the future, especially for a young team like ours.

Winning on the road is very refreshing and important for this team. The on the road playoffs kind of games during the regular season and the real playoffs game are coming.

AB is clearly on a trajectory for stardom..

He is getting better and better...  

We got another 1 in the oven 110%

[Jay Magic 1,302]

Also AB does not take no **** and he talks smack also!! Watch him closely.. TOUGH!

[Jay Magic 1,302]

Clippers have no Norman Powell when they play us tomorrow.... we still need to not take them lightly at all.

Anthony Black has been holding opponents to 39.1% FG and 25.8% 3PT this season.

Both rank first among all guards

Real Tough Player !!!

Clippers are without Norman Powell tonight who has been on a tear to start the season.

Basically if we can slow James Harden I think we should be fine unless there's a random Mo Bamba revenge game or something insane like that.
