I swear Suggs is legally required to have one of these games every 2-3 months lmao

I LOVE Jalen Suggs, I have ever since he was playing at Minnehaha. But he has to be more patient and look for better shots. He has a lot of learning to do.

WOW. That is unbelievably stupid. He did not kick the leg out, players do that all the time. This officiating crew is terrible.

u/trevorbix Magic 1d ago
He definitely did, but he was cannoning into regardless. Dumb decision in my opinion, but suggs doesn't help himself

I like them punishing kick outs on shots but this ain't it. For something they never call in blatant situations, calling that one is bizarre.

Um...how in the fuck was that an offensive foul on Suggs??? Refs are on one tonight

A couple of bad decisions from Anthony Black there. Dribble it out, there's more time.

u/Depresso_Espresso_93 1d ago
Bro, when the referees this season decide they're not calling fouls, they REALLY fucking decide they're NOT calling fouls. Jesus.

Love to see the Magic playing such terrific basketball, even with their injuries. This team would contend for the Eastern Conf if fully healthy.

Damn this Jack guy is pretty good. The guys in these halftime/time out shows usually never make any shots

KENNY is saving us so hard right now. Cole is playing too overconfident. Kenny is locked in and carrying

Four 3s attempted in an entire quarter. All the "ratings are low because too many 3s and bad defense" people (wrong take imo) gotta start watching us man

Watching us sub in a bench lineup of Cole Anthony, Anthony Black, Johnathan Isaac, and Wendell Carter Jr… holy shit the depth is just insane.
2
u/SincereFan Magic 1d ago
The bench is killing us right now though. But I honestly think its because AB is the better playmaker and Cole is a SG.
They are letting Cole run the bench as the PG and I rather AB set up Cole and occasionally Cole directs.

Magic bros. I know you are without your top two players right now. Just how fucking good is this team? Jesus.

u/hanyou007 Magic 1d ago
Trust me we are just as shocked as you. I can only just point to coaching. Mose has the team on 100% buy in on defense every second. We can have moments where the offense goes 4 or 5 possessions a doesn’t hit a shot (or give up 10 turnovers in a half) because we are forcing other teams into the same thing. It also means anytime we do get hot it usually means a huge run like you saw last weekend, because the offense typically triggers off that defense.

u/Drewbacca_Hrrrgrgrar Magic 1d ago
I mean, I think this is more coach driven than anything. Mosley seems like he's fantastic at keeping the team together in the toughest moments. Without Franz and Paolo, talent-wise, it's a bottom 5-10 team in the league easily.

Nah Bam being a 50M+ player is crazy

u/TheGreenGuyFromDBZ [MIA] Udonis Haslem 1d ago
Yep he just hasn't improved at all really . Expect a half decent 3pt shot. He's meant to be a rim protector and post player but that just ain't working for him.

Is the plan to just limit them to 8 points in every quarter from now on? Seems like a good plan to me

I’m dying at how Goga and KCP both get introduced as “from Georgia” right after each other in the starting lineup

I mean, big congrats to Miami on the dub, but the Magic still pulled off that big comeback a few nights ago and this was a very low-scoring one point win. Not exactly a beatdown revenge win, but a win nonetheless.
