And he took out our only decent guard in Suggs with his elbow but it wasn't intentional.

Shut down Markelle for the season and give his minutes to Cole!

Posted this in the wrong thread, I need to quit having so many open:

I will say this, Orlando does a great job guarding the inbound pass. I still get flashback to Oladipo lead teams when we could not inbound the ball.

Great win by the Magic! Bench was superb tonight especially Moe! The All-Star break did my guy some good!

I mean, we're 4th in overall defense and we're 8th in the league in three point percentage from other teams against us - it's been a strength.

It just seems uneven some games because our shooting isn't great.

Great hard nosed win for the Magic. Paolo and Franz were not themselves but they hit big shots late when Moe was doing his thing. Cole made big plays down the stretch. Hopefully this is the start of us locking up a playoff (not play in) spot.

Why is he in the NBA reffing if he was implicated?

He was implicated by Donaghy after the fact to be clear. Not by the NBA.

Okay, but we really ran their shooters off the 3 point line, that is something I have not seen them do all season.

The bench is back to leading us to dubs? I'll take it!

I'm so glad PB was able to play tonight, he didn't take over since he's sick but he provided enough to throw the Cavs off.

Good road win. Mo Swag sensational! Big bench performance after a tough Paolo night.

I'm glad Dinwiddie is gone now.

We owe the Nets a huge beat down.

We'll be favorites against Detroit and underdogs against Atlanta. A 2-1 road trip will be nice.

With Philly loss we are now 1.5 games back. If we can pass them and build a lil gap would be huge for our 6th place chances.

Missed the game due to other commitments… how bad did Suggs get injured?

Coach said he was good enough to return but the bench was rolling.

I like our chances to get past them. We just need to stay ahead of Miami.

I was 100% sure all games are played on Friday. Wasn't that case last year after allstar break with 7 days off?

Sucks I tune in to see if Fultz is gonna get more minutes! But it seems like his days in Orlando seem numbered.
