[JJZFL 700]

Yep.  We had that look tonight.  Nearly blew it again by not using our timeout to advance the ball.  That seems to be a frequent problem lately.  
 

Fortunately didn’t wind up mattering.  Great win!

Just an observation. But to me the team looked more relaxed on the road. They looked like the Raptors and Bulls did against us playing in Milwaukee. They played with that nothing to lose mentality. Now they just have to sustain that the next 4 games.

This is the time of the game when I start to worry.  If it becomes two v five and all we see is Franz and Paulo on offense , we stand a good chance of losing.  They MUST keep sharing the ball. 

You called it JJZFL, and they delivered in the latter minutes of the 4th quarter doing just what you suggested.

Why such negativity? This is a time to be celebrating this tremendous victory. Quite frankly, this can be the start of something big. Let's stay positive Magic fans! Never stop believing in Magic! Paolo was great tonight, wasn't he? And how about Cole? Just a great game altogether! Half off pizza tomorrow! And...I smell ULTRA!!! Go Magic!

Bench scoring tonight, Magic 26 Bucks 14. That won the game folks. Most impressive tonight was the focus and intensity. Especially on defense. The active hands and attention to detail. The communication was much better.

I know what was Mosley thinking?

Were Jeff and Dante calling the game from a hotel room somewhere in Milwaukee?

Did we have a timeout left there? If so, then that would have been a total disaster had we lost the game.

Negative? You say the games over after the 1st quarter.. bla bla bla. I'll leave it at that

We had that tremendous lead in the first quarter. It's not that I thought we were going to lose. I just didn't think we would get the win.

In the end we all know that the inevitable will take place. The Bucks are just toying with us. Doc is coaching this game like its game 7 of the ECF's. However, it was a nice little start. That is kind of a positive thing, I guess.

Bucks toying with who? Doc is a overated coach too... you're entertaining in a strange way

Kuzma and Giannis had a combined 7 missed ft's. Doc could smell the victory. However, it was our players that could smell ULTRA!
