39 points (only 37 for Orlando though)
Lmaooo I yelled FUCK when i saw that shit go in
FUCK THEM PICKS
37 on 86.4% TS is exactly what this team was missing
That’s sustainable right?
having a guard score like this in an orlando uniform is something i haven’t experienced in a long long time. idk what to do with my hands.
Gotta Desmond your Bane, friend
You must as old as me, bc it’s been a minute
Bad trade according to /r/nba after 5 games
Not just r/nba. r/orlandomagic was on suicide watch after the start to the season.
They were playing like ass as a team that first five games, it’s not like criticism wasn’t justified. Of course judging any player or trade or team after five games is silly, though.
If we drop two in a row when Paolo comes back, if he looks rusty, I’m sure it’ll go back to being sky is falling time
Sure. They were definitely in a funk, but it’s a long season.
He’s always a slow starter to the season. Does kick into gear consistently tho
I know they gave up a ton of picks for him, but this dude is just flat out good at basketball lmao. The second half tn showed just how valuable having a guard who can get his own buckets is, and he genuinely brings the magic offense to a whole different level by himself
As well, -2pts for Bane this game from scoring on his own bucket.
18 points in the 4th quarter 🔥
He’s been so good for the Magic
37 with 17 shots is nasty
Technically he had 39 though. He did score one for the bulls
I love that the pick that was supposedly the one that pushed it into overpay status was the Phoenix pick for this year.
