2023-2024 Regular Season Game 60: Utah Jazz (27-32) at Orlando Magic (33-26) - 7pm

Suggs went wild from 3 late. Starting to show what he can do in a proper role. Section 109 was unusually loud tonight must’ve been thirsty Thursday business night.

I will be at the game. Go Magic!!!

Cig breaks at halftime near team shop. Hopefully you are smarter than me and don’t smoke

Just saw this and I don’t smoke. I thought there was no smoking in the arena?

Who was the one that said Franz always looks like he’s been in a back alley fight with a cat?

Last game, I said he always look like he’s been in a cat fight.

He does, every game he has claw marks and blood marks lol

He did. He has shown over and over that he is a late game pressure shot maker. Also, two of the three 3s came from Paolo post double team and Franz drive and kick out and drawing two defenders. Once WePark decide to address the 3pt shooting issue it’s gonna be many long nights for other NBA teams as Paolo and Franz are going to feast.

Looks like the heat aren't going to lose the rest of the season..... they just keep chugging along. Maybe it's bot them qe have to focus on.

Den just beat them. Miami is a weird team. Sometimes they look amazing, sometimes they look like a scrappy bad team. Weird team.

Box score thoughts:

Orlando won the FG% battle and won the game, with ....

... poor 3pt FG% and very poor FT%.
Actually this was the worst 3ball% game since the OKC game (7 games) and the worst FT% game since the Spurs game (9 games).

That of course means the Magic DOMINATED FG% inside the arc.
Not surprisingly this means the Magic won the offensive rebounding differential (+3) and the overall rebounding differential (+8).

The worst plus/minus lines were M-Wagner, G-Harris, and Houstan all at a tiny minus-1. i.e. every player that played had a (near)neutral or positive impact on winning.

This game had a collective 59 FTs taken and 67 three pointers taken. Hmm.

[DiplomaticMagic]

That game was freaking terrifying. Glad we got the W but shouldnt have been that close. We have to be more consistent if we want to avoid playin

Great win, Jazz were making tough shots all night, it was supposed to be one of those losses that you just accept the other team making too many shots they aren't supposed to, glad we hung in there and managed to shut them down in the end.

[Bensational]

In the 6th seed after this win and only 1 game back from 4th. Pretty crazy we're in striking distance of home court in the playoffs. Even the ugly wins like tonight count towards that.

[Message Boar]

Technically matched last year's win total before the end of Februari!

[Skybox]

WCJ is fine, just a bad game, he still sets good scrins, shoots 3s well...at his salary he is an OK player

no offense....i'm starting to get tired of people saying this....it's like a get out of jail free card.....he's free to play like sh t because he's on a good contract....he needs to be held accountable like everybody else....dell isn't some kid, he's knocking on 10 years in the league this is year 7 for him

We love a bargain…FOs inactivity at the TD makes me wonder if they do have a serious financially- restrained directive from ownership.

[eyriq]

Taylor Hendricks looked really good.

[Magicman125]

Taylor Hendricks looked really good.

Still wish we would've taken him in the draft.

[JoshuaPotter]

Silver lining, eyriq and Rookiestar get to enjoy Keynote’s success…

You know it!

Cough cough.....cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough

Just because I do not post during the games doesn't mean I am not reading......

Let me compare Keyonte vs Jett stateline tonight.

Oh no Jett didn't play?

What's this you say? Keyonte went 19p / 9a / 2-4 3pts?

Why it's almost like he was making a statement.

[JoshuaPotter]

I am all about the high treason of playing bench Fultz over bench Black. We won the game, so winning kinda makes me feel better.

Also that Taylor Hendricks kid looks a lot better then I thought. He actually has great role player vibes currently. Maybe even starter material long term.
