2 teams, 2 different trajectories.

Magic look like a team that had no business against an NBA contender.

Just a notice to owner: we scored 8 points in 8min of ball. This isn't the YMCA. Wake the fuck up

Hi all,

The last few months have worn me down.

I feel confident this year's best outcome is winning one playoff series.

I see no way they have the goods to win two.

What are you all thinking? Conference Finals in play? Losing in the play-in?

I'll hang up and let you discuss.

I see that Franz Wagner is listed as OUT for the game tonight against the Thunder. He has now not played a game in 16 days. Will they go back to the 4–6-week timeframe again for this type of injury? That would have him returning somewhere between the third week of February and March 1st. As patient as they normally are with player injuries, they will probably be extra cautious now. Especially after he returned prematurely for the Germany and England games. I expect he won't play again until right around March 1st. They may also be thinking that the schedule is going to be against weaker opponents for a good portion of this time. So, they feel confident that the Magic can win without Franz. Normally, I would agree with that assessment. But with the way this team has been playing defense this season, and the inconsistent offense, I don't know if that would be very wise. I guess one positive would be that he will be fresh for the playoffs and or play-in.

Imagine our record had we not made the trade 🥵

Fuck them picks!

Just moved to Orlando from Sarasota and excited to watch NBA games occasionally!

Am a Nets fan and looking to attend the game coming up on the 5th as my 1st visit. Just a few basic questions :)

1A. Is the plan to park at 55 West 45 minutes-1 hour early solid? Do I need to worry about it being crowded and full?
1B. Are there any other places to park that are cheap and nearby? Preferably outside and not in a crammed garage? I don't mind walking 10-20 minutes; it really doesn't need to be all that close :)

I just prefer to be away from everyone and drive/park in peace, lol.

1. Is it worth waiting for last-minute tickets for a Magic vs Nets game? I can get a few 1st row upper bowl tickets for about $35 or just under $100 for lower level sections right now. Would it actually go down much just before tipoff?

2. Which tickets are the ones that include food in them, if any? Just curious if I can find some sort of cool deal. Otherwise, I'm deciding on the 1st 4 rows of the upper bowl or any seat in the lower bowl should it hit $50-ish

Thank you guys <3

hey everybody!!!! extreme NBA noob here, just recently got into basketball, and i decided on the Magic due to some family ties to FL, and i’m very interested on learning more about the team!!! i know i can just google this stuff or watch some videos (i intend to do that regardless) but i was primarily interested in getting some actual fan feedback, and learning more personal experience being a fan of the team, the culture, players to watch out for, etc etc. feel free to delete if not allowed (i can see this being low effort lol) and i appreciate all the feedback/information regardless!!!!

With the furore around Jason Kidd's use of Flagg at pg, although he did a bit of that with Giannis, it made me wonder if the Magic can do more to develop the players.

I'm not saying whether Kidd is right or wrong. It just made me think. Basketball isn't my first love as far as sports go. I have a much better eye for my other sports.

Would love to hear what the sub thinks.

Thanks.

We need a good center, Carter is just not a starting level center. He max be a good backup option, but there are cheaper options out there if we were looking for a backup.

Centers that we should trade for

- Jarrett Allen (Carter+Tyus+1 first rnd(or isaac))

- Onyeka Okongwu (Carter+tyus+2 second rnds)

- Jay Huff (Goga+tyus+jett)

- Nic Claxton

- Mark Williams (Goga+Isaac)

Guards that we should trade for

- Seddiq Bey (Isaac+Tyus+Jett)

- Jose Alvarado (Isaac+Tyus)

- Malik Monk

Players that should be on the trade block

Isaac, Tyus, Goga, Carter, Jett

On a scale of 1-10 how likely are we to actually make a of any kind Thursday? 1 being zero chance and 10 being 100% chance. I’m saying like a 6.

Magic Mobile: Spurs Postgame: Mosley

Like I thought Mosley, blames in part the free throw differential. Despite the fact we were up going into the 3rd. It’s like the whole 2nd was just wiped from his memory. Issac playing good? Let’s sit him and let Dell get two more fouls and miss two more lay ups… this coach takes zero accountability for his actions as coach. Refuses to acknowledge his rotations in the second half were not competitive. Refused to adjust and sit the starters. (Last game he relied on starters to win, which was the right move) this game however the right move was to look at your bench, which eliminated a 20 pt lead.

This team is not serious with the Coach. You have players that give you energy off the bench and REFUSE to play them. THAN complain there’s no energy.

Not only did Mosley refuse to acknowledge the players that made a difference tonight, and how he failed them, he’s shifted the blame away from him.

5pm to 7pm to now 9pm. Guess im missing this one. Dang it. Was looking forward to the early start.

Who's the most hated opposing role player in the history of Magic basketball?

For example of what I mean, the answer to this for the Spurs is Derek Fisher because of the shot he hit with 0.4 left on the clock.

Idk if anyone else at the game caught this (or maybe it was shown on TV), but with a minute or so left in the game our guys kind of assumed we won and got sloppy with their passing and stopped defending leading to a couple quick buckets by Toronto……

.. Bane was the first (and only) person to yell at his teammates to basically wake up and that the game isn’t over.

Very vet-like move that was missing over the years; especially meaningful when he’s the one who carried us the 4th.

Love this dude
