The Magic started off 13-5, went 12-18, and have since been 20-9. No particular reason, they just did. I would make a big long argument about how that's a lesson against making arguments that a team gets better or worse because of a lineup change (like Zach out or PatBev in), and that such conclusions are 99% narrative and 1% reality, but I know that nobody will believe me.

So I will just drop that note and move on.

Isaac being able to play 20 minutes off the bench certainly helped. You aren't wrong about lineup changes being narrative driven but Isaac might be the best defensive forward in the NBA. They're a different team with him on the court.

Orlando's defense is legit. There isn't anybody for Demar to pick on and they do a great job of helping.

Traveling and can't watch the game. Checking the box score... is it becoming apparent that the best active player on the team is Javonte Green?

Demar looking for a triple double via turnovers?

It will be difficult for the Bulls to win this one because they got no one that can guard Banchero and Wagner. The one guy who can is out for the season.

Honestly, I'm not sure as a fanbase, what we were expecting out of this game.

We are playing against a pretty healthy team, and despite being a playoff team, this came is pivotal in terms of seeding, so this game means more to them than to us. But also, when you factor in how inconsistent we are, and how many players we are missing, key players, I'm surprised that this game wasn't lost in the first quarter if I'm honest and we are still making it a game somehow.

One thing this team has shown despite it's massive flaws, mostly due to the incompetence of this front office, is that the players on this roster has a lot of resilience. It's just a shame that it's wasted on such a poorly put together roster.
Why so serious?

Drummond is +9 in 11 minutes so far.

Cut it down to 10 but Demar keeps turning the ball over and Coby isn't contributing.
