The team's energy is good, at least. There is ball movement, particularly since the second unit took the court. I hope Cole stays in rhythm. 

Watching Tyus Jones do everything right on the court reminds me of those who say he wouldn't have helped us at all. He is charging the minimum.

Those are called fans who don’t know basketball. Kinda like the same people who said Goga didn’t belong in the starting 5 because WCJ was a better floor spacer, rebounder, and defender.

 However as it was also previously pointed out Tyus was looking for starters minutes and we didn’t have that available for him. So while he would have definitely been an asset on this team unfortunately it was never gonna happen.

57 points is awesome. If someone would have told me that and I hadn't been watching the game, I would have assumed that we were up 8 to 10 points at halftime. However, the defense didn't show up in the first half. Need more from Jalen in the second half. Actually, we need more from all of the starters. Tyus lighting us up again! Better defense this half and we will win the game.

Tyus Jones stat line with most of the 3rd still to play- 19 points, 6 assists, 1 rebound, and 5-6 from 3. We definitely can’t use that type of guard play on our team because he's a horrible defender lol.

Wow that Cole Anthony pass was a thing of beauty.

Jalen freakin Suggs

We need to keep our composure here but win or lose I love the effort our boys gave tonight!

LFG Magic great win! Shoutout to the whole team for fighting but especially Goga with 21 points and 16 rebounds 9 of those on the offensive end. I like the team ball we showed tonight hopefully we can continue with this momentum.

So proud of this team

Amazing how much fun we are to watch when everyone gets to touch the ball on offense.  Really seems to energize our players.

Yup exactly but when the 3 point shot isn’t falling we need other guys to attack the basket and get to the line not just Franz/Paolo and to a lesser extent Suggs. 

Completely agree
