36-point lead now down to 17. And they trimmed that lead pretty fast too. This is going to turn into a nail biter unfortunately folks. How can you blow a 36-point second half lead against this awful team?

There he is.. right on cue

Quite frankly this one was never in doubt. Do we ever get tired of winning?! It's a beautiful thing. We love our half off Papa John's pizza. That I can tell you. How does a 4-1 road trip sound? I think we'll all enjoy that, right?  It's gonna be tremendous. And how about those Pistons? Losing at home to the Wizards. They're a total disaster.

4d chess from Paolo and Franz making Cory Joseph of all people look competent as a starter (bit unfair tbh Cory was good) can roll out the old "if we play this well with Cory Joseph at PG imagine how we'll play with an actually good PG".

With Franz and Paulo on board, we're beyond playing/losing for a lotto pick. I personally like seeing the two continue to grind and get better.

Paulo's numbers over his last 10 are very impressive: 27.9, 6.5, 4.1 with shooting lines of 49.2/37.3/80.2.

Was going to write that... we're starting a guy that wasn't even meant to see playing time, that is actually a good old "order" PG, and we were finally off a good start. And good starts often set the tone for the rest of the game. We had a few awful starts in the recent homestand and lost very winnable games. At least now we're winning away, let's continue that.

You guys,,,*sigh* (pause). You reluctantly give Corey Joseph a tiny bit of credit for an above average performance in last night's game. I say 'reluctantly'  because 1) you think he is too old, and 2) because he was only brought to the Magic to fill in the roster, 3) you feel he should only see the floor during garbage time in a game.

It was during the 1st quarter that the Magic had a 30 pt. lead, and it wasn't only attributed to the play of Franz and Paolo, but it was also due to Corey Joseph's effectively handling the ball as the floor general. In a previous game that we won he performed well also as the starter.

Well, let me ask you this: How has Cole and AB been working out for you, especially during the losing streak the Magic had been on? And how about other players like Jett Howard whom some of you have wanted to be given a chance to start or just be in the rotation. Well, how have those worked out for you? Jett has not performed up to expectations, and he has been given a chance to show what he's got.

I hope Mosley gives Corey a chance again to be starting point guard until a poor performance by Corey proves it is a mistake to start him.

Edit: As the saying goes: "If ain't broke, don't fix it."
