Not able to watch it now, what happen to jalen?

Really weird non contact. Went for a steal and his back looks like it went out on him. Down holding how lower back and they eventually had to take him off in a wheelchair

Thanks. This is really unfortunate. It seems we really need to have football mentality and make use of all our players. Mosley is the new thibs it seems when it comes to defensive philosophy, difference is he is using more players.

I know we all want a player to play hard and be aggressive, but Suggs plays  too hard and aggressively, which sometimes ends in him being injured. Suggs style of play reminds me of Michael Carter-Williams who played for the Magic. He was also injured a lot because he played too hard and out of control.

His play rubs off on his teammates. But I agree he needs to be cautious every once in a while.

Bad start on the 4th. This is supposed to be our quarter.

TDS put the game back to where it should be when we needed it. 
 

Aside from TDS dominating this is a weird game. 
cole assisting and we have a decent 3pt shooting despite shooting a lot on 3s

It looks like the game plan was to share the ball. Spread the ball around. Corey Joseph mentioned it a couple times in the post game interview.

Mose deserves COTY and Parker/Weltman deserve executives of the year. No one is doing more with less proven players. We're still 4th in the East without our two best players. 

With that being said, it probably goes to Kenny Atkinson. People had real questions about the Cavs and their future and those are really quiet as they sit 29-4 with a new head coach. Really unfortunate as I think Mose is doing an unbelievable job this season.

Totally normal Magic win. Exactly how we all expect the Magic to play. Vintage you might say.

I’m very glad to hear it.  I’ve been one who’s advocated for a more team based approach on offense for a very long time.  
 

And again we saw that when Cole Anthony’s focus is on making his teammates better instead of looking to score all the time, he can be a huge asset for the team.

Great post and I agree 100%.  Mosley has taken our C Squad and continues to pull out wins!  How they do it is amazing when you consider they have almost no offensive players with all the injuries.  I don’t know if any Magic coach has done so much with so little including: Hill, Doc, SVG and Clifford. Even Mosely’s critics have to admit he is a great developmental coach and culture guy.
 

Parker/ Weltman deserve their praise as well. TDS looks like a great pick. He is at least a top 10 guy from his draft class at worst.  I think we have found our starting center going forward with Goga as well.
