What a great performance by Paolo. I don’t remember seen this all around greatness in a Magic jersey. Not just the scoring, but all around game. Too bad he didn’t break the scoring record. Some unnecessary missed FT and the refs slowed him down with some bs soft calls on Siakam in the post. Indiana been fighting Paolo in the post all game and on the other side of the court you gonna call these ticky tacky fouls. And that’s btw the difference to Lebron. Never ever in his career did Lebron ever get called for these types of soft “fouls”. 

Continuing with the refs, i’m really surprised we pulled out a W. The refs took over the game in the second half and we weren’t really allowed to do anything. A great example of the performance by the refs. AB gets called for an offensive goaltending. Looking at the scene,  AB got essentially fouled by two Pacers players, Howard attempts the putback, airballs it, the Pacer player grabs the rim, AB taps the airball into the basket and was not over the cylinder. Gets called for offensive goaltending. 

So in this particular scene, the refs did everything humanely possible wrong not seeing multiple violations, just to call AB for something that he didn’t do. Crazy… 

If that’s the only scene, aight. But it was going on and on and on. Mo getting called with a moving screen, Jackson did it the whole game. Siakam a lot as well. A lot of out of bounds calls going the wrong way. Halliburton with a crazy travel, even by NBA standards, in Crunch time to hit a three. Like two step backs, just to reshuffle his feet for a good stance and then hit the 3. 

Whoof… 

 

Ok, just watched the game, so there some hot take to it as well lol

and i don’t know what we are doing with the players that are ill here. First Cole was ill, now Caleb and Franz. 

Why would you have Caleb sitting on the bench, throughout the whole game. And i can understand trying to get Franz playing, but once he couldn’t go anymore, why sit him on the bench? There is no benefit for this. Just maximizing the risk of others getting ill as well and those who are ill don’t get the needed rest. Especially why would you have Paolo sitting next to Franz on the bench? 

Did we learn nothing from Covid?

oh wow, just to follow up on the refs. The ref Nate Green. This ref needs to be investigated. It was blatantly obvious but it’s crazy that this dude is most obvious a Pacer fan. Standout Indiana State basketball player. He tried out for the Pacers, which isn’t a crime. But when the officiating is so obviously bias, the Magic and any other NBA team should have the right to file a complain. 

The NBA has always had this problem, but it needs to be fixed. 
It’s alright to be a fan. But if it affects your job as a ref, then you should be suspended.

Refs threatened to ruin a Paolo 50 piece. Genuinely atrocious stuff from them. 

Paolo was unstoppable. Jalen hit big 3s. AB with the clutch buckets in the 4th. Proud of everyone. 

I quite liked guarding Siakam with a guard. Sure he got some points in the post from it but it got Indiana away from it's pace and space attack and bogged down in feeding the post which I think helped overall.

Super proud to be a Magic fan tonight. Beyond Paulo, Jalen looked awesome. Also AB with some huge buckets.

Following up on last night, I think we finally have a legit future PG in AB. This really gets me excited. It’s been far too long. Go Magic!

Been loving AB so far this season. Kid seems to have taken a real leap from last season. Looks more comfortable on the ball, jumper looks better, I loved the pick then and I love it still now. 

In contrast, the jury is still very much out on Jett for me though in the real minutes he's played.

I am so excited to see what he can become. He has impressed so far. I definitely see why they let Fultz go.

If you can't tolerate me at my: Ish Smith/Aaron Afflalo/Maurice Harkless/Andrew Nicholson/Nikola Vucevic* coached by Jacque Vaughn. 

You don't deserve me at my: Jalen Suggs/KCP/Franz Wagner/Paolo Banchero/WCJ coached by Jamahl Mosley. 

*Vuc doesn't necessarily deserve to be slandered.

It’s been a long time coming but we finally have a team with a super star in the making and a great supporting cast to help bring a championship to this city soon!
