xBerryhill | Magic

We take those. Miami shot 10% better than us, 2% better from deep and took more FTs and we still won.

This ref team was awful. One ref wasn’t calling anything. Others were calling a lot of ticky tack fouls. There was no consistency within the group at all.

Charlie_Wax | Warriors

Have to be pleased to be sitting at 14-9 after the rough start to the season Magic were 4-5 at one point, which happens to be the exact record the Pacers had after 9 games last season. I think this Orlando team can still be a factor in the ECF picture. Nobody is convincing in the East and they have the horses to be a problem when it counts.

I like Paolo and I know this was his first game back, but it’s also cool to see a low usage Paolo game where has a positive +/- and the Magic win.

DeyZent | Magic

absolutely. at some point Mo wagner will come back (i give it by around new years) and our bench will become even better. Games like these just show us we can still win even with off nights from multiple of our top ⁴⁄₅ players, depth is there to make a good run. ima just need Tristan to start returning to form idk what’s up with him

Aeronova20 | Magic

Franz Wagner is that mf, he and Suggs carried this team thru a Bane stinker.

And once Paolo is off his minutes restriction, we’re gonna be cookin.

Milla4Prez66 | Magic

It’s a BS narrative framed around the team struggling when he came back last year. But people don’t mention that Franz was also out, and so was Suggs and Moe. He was coming back to play with the likes of Cory Joseph, Trevelin Queen and Caleb Houstan.

He obviously needs to stop forcing bad shots and work on his efficiency but we definitely aren’t better off with him not playing.

FitTune5515 | Supersonics

It’s a narrative from the Franz Wagner and euro fans

Gavina4444 | ORL

It’s a narrative bc people love stats and don’t watch the games so they don’t have any context to use to actually provide real analysis of the magic

PapaJohnsGarlic100 | Magic

As did Powell earlier on the possession before the offensive rebound and timeouts. Really screwed themselves wasting so much time.

Orlando 5th youngest team, Miami 10th oldest and still same record as us. Bringing in Wiggins, Powell and having zero playable rookies.. Do you even know what rebuilding is lmao

cl353 | Heat

-2 | an hour ago

i mean by that logic we actually got younger by trading 35 yr old jimmy for 30 year old wiggins and then trading 37 yr old klove for 32 yr old powell

tho ur right i mispoke, retool not rebuild. turns out when u have 2 all stars under 28 and then get another near one for free u should tear everything down and rebuild

congrats on ur very playable young player jett howard tho

got younger and still the 10th oldest team in the league, pretty sad. Why point out Jett when AB spent the whole night busting your ass?

Ware, Herro, Jovic, that rookie you drafted 20th (sorry forgot his name) + how many FRP’s and swaps y’all got available could get it done. I’d want to keep Jaime. Dude might have the best foot work in the post in the league.

thepopcornisready

-2 | 2 hours ago

goddamn magic need to figure it out on offense this season. brutal watching the lead evaporate as franz / suggs / whoever just dribbled back and forth to jack up threes down the stretch

and kinda shocked the Heat couldn’t execute that last ATO play. thought we were about to see another buzzer beater.

Gamesgtd | Magic

7 | 2 hours ago

When those two get hot they try and do too much. Franz in particular fell in love with the step back. He’s so much better attacking

thepopcornisready

1 | 2 hours ago

yeah i haven’t watched much magic this season but good things seemed to happen when Suggs and Franz just drove to the cup instead of settling for jumpers

safwan105 | Magic

1 | 15 minutes ago

U need ur stars to just chuck sometimes. Especially when defenses get tight. Franz was hot so he should shoot anything

Aeronova20 | Magic

3 | 2 hours ago

listen i get that people wanna peg Paolo as a ball stopper, but i watched Suggs dribble the air out of the ball on multiple possessions down the stretch to take a contested pull up three

hanyou007 | Magic

4 | an hour ago

Trying to pin Paolo as a ball stoper when he’s led the team in assists every season he’s been here is literally the biggest tell on yourself moment out here that so many dudes here fall into.

Aeronova20 | Magic

2 | an hour ago

yeah i’ve seen some of the most insane passes from p5, and he’s definitely a willing passer.

when he goes hero mode it’s usually because the game dictates that he needs to, since no one else can get it going.

coolj492 | Magic

1 | an hour ago

paolo’s passing is somehow his biggest strength like he’s so good at it(I say “somehow” because he gets to the line better than most anybody too but his passes are magnificent)

thepopcornisready

1 | 38 minutes ago

listen i get that people wanna peg Paolo as a ball stopper

was this meant as a reply for another comment?

Aeronova20 | Magic

2 | 34 minutes ago

no? it was in response to you talking ab jalen and franz dribbling the air out the ball

thepopcornisready

1 | 31 minutes ago

ah didn’t get understand the Paolo part of the reply but i’m guessing that’s in response to the general Reddit “Ewing Theory” discourse on Paolo

treadwater23 | ORL

2 | 2 hours ago

They’ve had a top 7 offense, they just can’t shoot. And now refs aren’t calling a lot of fouls so they’re reverting into iso plays.

thepopcornisready

1 | 26 minutes ago

exactly the “can’t shoot” and “reverting into iso plays” is kinda what they need to figure out. was pretty jarring to toggle between stagnant iso 3’s and generally good things happening with swinging the ball into Franz/Suggs drives or Paolo making a play off the roll
