Looked like he was in a boot so probs out for the remaining games.

It's a good thing the Grizzlies either can't shoot the ball or they are just off tonight.

You're welcome, as always!

Bamba is doing his thing on both ends tonight. Using his length effectively on getting rebounds and scoring.

What happened to Hall. He got off to a hot start his first game with the Magic.

Side Note:

This does not have anything to do with the Magic, but what has happened to Fournier. First of all he is coming off the bench instead of starting.

I also know that he just returned from Covid Protocol, but since he returned, he only scored 2 pts in each of 2 games--in 21 minutes-- and has zero points tonight at halftime. I know some will say it's conditioning. But 2 pts.?

The Magic don't know anything about passing the ball tonight. After a rebound, one player dribbles all the way up the court and tries to score in the paint surrounded by players from the Grizzlies.

Not to insult our guys, but how in the world is Memphis this bad?

You're right. Seems like I saw some scores where Memphis beat a couple of good teams.

If the Magic could stop playing playground or pickup basketball, we might see us turn into a real developing team. There is no scheme to the way they are playing. Bamba is playing well--so is Cole.

This exactly.  Teamwork is nearly zero.  Terrible to watch.
