General, totally baseless, conjecture: The Osceola Magic had the best offense in the G league and are the number 1 seed. Dylan Murphy, the HC of the Osceola Magic, was on our staff last year. Last year the Magic had 6 guys listed as assistant coaches, this year with Nate Tibbets leaving late in preseason and Murphy going down to be the G league HC we only had 4 (according to what I could find publicly, it's highly probable some guys with slight variant job titles were assistant coaches in all but name) What if we deliberately sent Murphy to HC the G league team to get reps designing an offense etc so that we could bring him back as the Offensive coordinator this coming year? (And if this happens, it could bode well for Jett Howard given he's spent all year playing down there) Once again this is one hundred percent baseless conjecture and I drank quite a lot last night lol

it would probably get them banned, but i wish one of the reporters would say hey mose you say the same thing every night. How are You gonna get them to keep moving the ball in the clutch?

Complaining about Cole after that game specifically is WILD. I was more scared that anyone other than Cole was going to shoot.

The last 4 losses put a spotlight on just how thin our backcourt is. Harris out the last 2 and Suggs out the 2 losses to New York and Indy. It’s why most of us were so upset for sitting stagnant at the trade deadline. Markelle was horrible again last night but people are afraid to say it because he’s an awesome dude and we all feel bad for him. Behind that AB is too raw, and Cole and Suggs are way too inconsistent. I still can’t believe a pro basketball team had a quarter where they shot 3-22 from the field… insane

Too bad, did not capitalize on a fantastic game by JI

CT, the last game Markelle played in, it was him coming off the bench. He did not take anything away from Paolo and Franz. He was able to draw attention to himself, leaving it open for Paolo and Franz to do their thing. Markelle did not clog up the paint each time Paolo went in for those thunderous dunks. While Markelle handled the ball, the opposing players were more focused on what he was going to do instead of waiting for Franz or Paolo dribbling into paint and triple-teamed while trying to make a layup.

I would have to disagree. , Kelle comes in and can calm the team down and get them back into running some sets, Ingles can to a lesser degree. AB can’t do that, at least not yet. I’m not sure if Cole will ever, though there are flashes - he’s just not a natural PG.

LISTEN TO THAT ROAR FROM THE CROWD!!!!! ORLANDO MAGIC TO THE *****ING WORLD!!!!!!!

That game was over at half yet I inexplicably watched until the end. The Admiral Schofield points in garbage time were fun. Jalen Suggs getting riled up by Grant Williams and just going into ***** you mode was hilarious when we were already up like 25. That (definitely not a travel) behind the back Paolo dime to a stepping back Suggs 3 was one of the most fun plays of the season. Good W and rest for the starters and JI. Let's go.

I want to resign Fultz and give him a rental! Just at a vet minimum contract at this point.(or 5-8 mil max) We already did him good with a big contract, he needs to return the favor if he wants to be part of this. Hes a great mentor going forward and he can still play. But he’s definitely not the type of player, he used to be. Very sad!!

Haters gonna hate. Gave you upvotes to even it out. People don’t like to hear the truth on here.

Downvote. Lololol. People hate the truth don’t they.

Last 2 minutes, close game. Will we move the ball or have just one guy touch it each possession?

Down 1 with a minute left and we get a shot clock violation due to indecisiveness. Just can’t happen

Watching Ben McLemore and Jabari Parker duke it out in the Spanish League wasn’t in my 2024 bingo card

I don’t expect him to suddenly start making threes. I do expect he will continue to be a positive influence on the team, and that he can make the guys around him play a bit more cerebral. I think it’s all down to his health. He has shown a willingness to do what ever the team has asked of him. I don’t think he will ever be a consistent starter for us, but he is still only 25. Markelle probably isn’t going to have a big game where he can’t miss like Cole; but he isn’t going to shoot you out of a game on a night where he can’t hit crap and continues taking bad shots, also like Cole. I don’t know if anyone would give him more than a vet minimum this summer, his history just doesn’t justify much more. I would try to keep him, on a much more team friendly, short term contract; something like 3 years/$8M, with the third being a team option.

I agree 100%. Look how long Klay Thompson was out. When he returned he was in a very bad shooting slump and Warriors' fans had given up on him. But look at him now, coming off the bench. I know Markelle is no Klay Thompson, but I think that what Markelle brings to the team is something you might not get in return from letting him walk. Markelle is 25 and Klay is 32. Here is a quote about K Thompson: ("'He never gave up': How Warriors' Klay Thompson endured 941 days out of the game."Jan 9, 2022) I don't see anything in AB that you can say he brings more to the team than Markelle. Sure, AB is a good defender, but he is not spacing the floor. He has only scored 1 or 2 times in a game--no 3 pt. shots--and that's it. We need to trade Okeke and some of those other bench warmers who only play if there is a garbage time game. There hasn't been too many of those due to a lot of close games that we won. Be careful what you wish for.

I’ve got severe PTSD from the Knicks and Pacers games a few weeks ago, really not confident tonight but hoping the boys can pull it out the bag tonight! Let’s go Magic.

NBA free agents I'd like us to consider signing this summer: Jrue Holiday (P.O.) D. Russell M. Monk G. Allen T. Jones Kenatvious Caldwell-Pope I like the idea of starting two guards who can drain the three alongside Franz and Paulo. I don't trust Harris long-term, but our real weakness right now is in our bench. I don't see how we roll with Kelle and Cole next year.

Also Gary Trent really said to himself "these guys have 25 million in cap space in the summer, are in desperate need of shooting and I'm a free agent" going into this game. Dude was on fire.

RossMagic, there is no etiquette as to who starts the conversation. I'm sorry to mislead anyone.

No etiquette at all my friend, just say what you’re thinking about the game as you want and things unfold.
