Lol it’s a cycle. One halfway mediocre game and Paolo is viral. 7-8 consecutive awesome games and you hear nothing until the next halfway mediocre game. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen someone else get this treatment.

I mean he truly is an incredible player but nobody ever points out anything about him until his rare bad game lol

Nope we’ll just see everyone hating on Jaden and ant.

Wasn’t all Ant’s fault.

Is Randle back to being the guy that absolutely disappears for 6 minute stretches?

HarryPauler | Timberwolves

Randle is the single biggest reason for the close game and losses in the 2026 calendar year.

I do think we can’t properly evaluate him until Mosley is outta there and he gets consistent time with Wagner there too (should probably fire the medical team or rehaul that)

JediPieman63

1 | 3 minutes ago

He was actually only +15 in a 27 point win so Orlando have to be better without him. Definitely burning him at the stake and tanking again is the only solution.

Charlie_Wax | Warriors

10 | 3 hours ago

I admit to being completely conned by the Magic into thinking they could be ECF contenders going into this season.

They seem a lot more mid than I expected. All the same, I think this is a team that you really don’t want to draw in the playoffs if you are DET/NYK/CLE/BOS.

Too many dangerous pieces and too much latent potential for it to be a laugher, even for the top seeds in the first round.

ImaginaryFriends_ | Magic

They can’t get everyone to play at the same time. It’s been this way for years.

xBerryhill | Magic

Games like this remind you how good this team can be. Then there’s a handful of other games that show you how far we still have to go lol

We’re just inconsistent. Part of it is injuries, part of it is we’re just not as far along as we though we’d be

Threash78 | Magic

10 | 2 hours ago

They seem a lot more mid than I expected.

Massive amounts of injuries, once again.

CardinalDriver33

6 | 2 hours ago

They’re just not healthy. They should be a top 4 seed at worst right now but have had some absolutely shit injury luck. Maybe top 3 worst injury luck in the league. They were absolutely hooping when that wasn’t the case.

They’ll be fine if they can get right by April.

ultranonymous11 | Magic

2 | an hour ago

I think you’ve missed that everyone has been injured. Our starting lineup has played a handful of games together. Franz and Paolo have barely played together at all.

Mr_Wick18 | Magic

41 | 3 hours ago

Comments here are going to be so much less because Paolo played great.

CardinalDriver33

11 | 2 hours ago

It’s ridiculous. Hell, there’s barely any Paolo talk EVER. Except for the rare occasion that he has a bad game, then he is the #1 trending item on X. It’s a weird dynamic but I kinda like it as a Magic fan lol.

EsotericPotato | Timberwolves

36 | 3 hours ago

I don’t care what anybody says, these games where they came out and are horrible in every facet are a very bad omen for the playoffs. They don’t box out or move offball or communicate on defense and what, suddenly they’re just gonna do all of that for 48 minutes a night in the playoffs?

They’ve been building bad habits all season, just like last season, and just like last season, when they face an actually good team in the playoffs they will not stand a chance because the other team will have been playing all season they way they have to play in the playoffs. Turning up the intensity is only going to get you so far if your habits and fundamentals are dogshit

LemonButterRum

12 | 3 hours ago

Anthony can’t win with these felines.

EsotericPotato | Timberwolves

15 | 3 hours ago

He’s gotta look in the mirror too if we’re being honest. Because he’s turned into - IMO - the best pure scorer in basketball, this season he’s gotten a pass from a lot of people about the rest of his game. But 3 rebounds and horrendous defense against a team who plays so physically is just not gonna cut it. Banchero and Bane were both getting whatever they wanted in him on defense. As much as he’s progressed on offense this season, he’s regressed on defense just as badly. He does not even remotely deserve the superlative of two-way player this season.

goingtothegreek | Timberwolves

5 | 2 hours ago

My take all year has been Randle just isn’t an ideal #2 next to Ant the way his game is evolving. Two iso-dominant players is just not a winning combo.

We desperately need a PG and a backup big, always have. Moving Randle gives us an opportunity to play Beringer and Naz more, and opens up space for a PG that can facilitate when Ant isn’t iso-ing.

That said, a shooting day like this is just hard to win with regardless. Jaden/DDV/Ayo/Bones/Naz each hit 1-2 more of their wide open 3s and it’s a different ball game

moby323 | 76ers

6 | 2 hours ago

Don’t put Gobert and Naz Reid in that group

After that win over the Nuggets, there were alot of wolves fans demanding respect. But it was games like this that they have had throughout the year that make me hesitate on them.

HarryPauler | Timberwolves

4 | 2 hours ago

That’s mostly because they keep putting ant way way down in the mvp rankings. Hell I’m pretty sure they had Chet above him for some ungodly reason.

Herakleios | Magic

2 | 3 hours ago

Biggest issue is creation, creation, creation. And weirdly perimeter defense was really rough for y’all tonight. Our guards normally aren’t getting into the paint like they were tonight.

Shepher27 | Timberwolves

2 | 2 hours ago

It’s not a coincidence that like 3 out of every four games like this are afternoon games.

Aeronova20 | Magic

35 | 3 hours ago

probably the best win of the season, up there with us winning in Detroit to clinch a cup berth

love seeing Paolo so aggressive, and Bane is worth every asset we gave up idgaf

Although I don’t like our matchup with Cleveland as opposed to New York, I do like our chances in a potential second round series against Detroit.

EarthWarping | NBA

5 | 2 hours ago

Thats fair. Cleveland has themselves ahead of the Raptors lately so its really the 5th-8th spots that are close now.

1 game of difference between now.

36Vigilantes | Magic

Every single pick .. best guard we’ve had in at least a decade.

TantramanFL | Magic

1 | 17 minutes ago

I say since Penny, that is almost 3 decades (apologies to Jameer, Hedo, Armstrong). I don’t think he has a glaring weakness, just a solid player who can beat you multiple ways. Durable too.

Idk man, just feel like betting against the only team to make b2b WCF since the KD Warriors is a bit naive. May not make the finals but they’re absolutely a dangerous out for any team.

Especially for a team who only has like two guys in the rotation with a playoff tab on Bref.
