That’s his game lol… Magic are low key one of the nastiest watches of the league… I’ d rather tune in to a Jazz or Wiz game than watch them

nobraininmyoxygen | Cavaliers

5 | 5 hours ago

Bane and da Silva are fine to watch but Banchero’s game is miserable. The Magic would be better off selling high and putting someone who can shoot and doesn’t ball hog next to Franz.

Arixxtra

-21 | 6 hours ago

again Orlando does not care you dont like that style of play if that helps them get closer to winning games.

Constant-Low-5111

21 | 6 hours ago

But they can’t win either

KrispykreamMcdonalds | Pistons

16 | 6 hours ago

Aren’t they on a six game losing streak?

Arixxtra

-14 | 6 hours ago

that does not matter, I said help them does not matter if they win or not what matters is they are getting points on the board are people dense to the concept of this

Middle-Flower-3624

2 | 2 hours ago

“help them” implies their chances are higher when they use this play style than another style which honestly just doesn’t seem to be the case, Orlando’s squad shouldn’t be 38-34, that’s barely a better pace than last season.

Ok_Respond7928

No shit what does that have to do with anything that was said tho?

Arixxtra

-9 | 5 hours ago

what was said was people do not like how Orlando gets ther points from so many FT’s that was the whole purpose of the post saying Cavs Vs Paolo and FT’s

scarrylary | CLE

Because it works you have to foul him he’s too big and athletic.

Aeronova20 | Magic

-15 | 6 hours ago

not his fault they foul him 9 out of 10 times he drives to the rim

Far_Display7308

13 | 6 hours ago

Not saying it’s his fault just an awful watch

Arixxtra

-6 | 6 hours ago

Thats the NBA for some team’s, those team do not care if its an awful watch if it help the team win or stay in the game

Aeronova20 | Magic

-5 | 6 hours ago

He’s not baiting for it, he’s just 6’10 250 and a freight train to the rim. Why wouldn’t he drive it almost every time and dare defenders to try and stop him without fouling? Who gives af if it’s a “good watch”

FKJVMMP | MIL

11 | 6 hours ago

The people watching?

Arixxtra

4 | 6 hours ago

The team DGAF about how you the viewer feels if that style of play help them win, like what are you people on about

Far_Display7308

6 | 6 hours ago

Be fr yall gave up five first round picks to build around Paolo and you’re gonna be in the east playin. What winning is getting done.

Arixxtra

6 | 6 hours ago

Half the damn team’s better players are hurt, they are doing the best they can. No team should care what the view like watching, all that matters is getting the best advantage for the team, if that shooting FT’s all game SO BE IT.

FKJVMMP | MIL

4 | 6 hours ago

You asked who gives a fuck. People watching give a fuck. We are people watching, so we give a fuck. The team’s opinion is not relevant, nobody’s telling Paolo not to play bruising ball. Not sure what you’re missing here.

Arixxtra

-1 | 5 hours ago

and you giving a fuck does not mean shit to the team or its fans shooting FT’s trying to get points as many times as they can.

LakeErieMovement | Cavaliers

Terrorist basketball from Natalie Sago and Tony Brothers.

No flow to the game with both teams getting fouls every possession.

tandtz | Hornets

15 | 6 hours ago

40 more FTs than the Hornets v Kings game. Wasn’t a fun watch

WalkingOnSunshine_ | Cavaliers

11 | 6 hours ago

I had to rewind it on the second defensive three seconds because I initially thought there was no way.

Mobley was initially in the lane for 2 seconds, steps out and then is within arms reach of Carter before coming to help on the drive when Brothers whistles it. He’s out there making it up as he goes

scarrylary | CLE

4 | 6 hours ago

He called it and Mobley had his hand out touching Carter lol like it’s impossible for that to be 3 seconds

I don’t know what any team is supposed to do about Harden and Mitchell, let alone a Magic team missing Suggs and AB. They both can score at every level and are really really smart about using shot fakes in positions where guys have to bite. I can easily see this team coming out of the east.

Tristan da Silva was such a find for Orlando

Aeronova20 | Magic

6 | 6 hours ago

he’s been on and off this year, on to start the year, off for a stretch in the midseason and back on now

he was huge for the german national team this summer and has clearly grown a bunch too

nobraininmyoxygen | Cavaliers

3 | 5 hours ago

I wanted the Cavs to draft him but Tyson has been great so I can’t complain

Spencerfla

2 | 4 hours ago

Him and Anthony Black this year have made me want them to move off of Suggs and maybe upgrade at center.

We have no rim protection whatsoever.

tandtz | Hornets

Ty Cavs, now if you could beat the Heat in the next two matches that would be great

unwisest_sage | Magic

10 | 6 hours ago

Holy shit this year has been tough. Felt like we were prime to take the leap and yet we’ve peaked at where we were during the vucevic era and takes a hard step back.

Man I know there’s franchises have had it way tougher like the kinda and wizards but man sometimes it really sucks to be a fan for so long and every glimmer of hope just gets crushed year after year. It feels way better when you are on the come up like the hornets this year but that it all comes crashing down when you have expectations. It’s like doing cocaine how I just need more and more it gets worse Everytime till I’m just disappointed.

Glad I’ve been able to see 3 titles each from my nfl and NHL teams. They carry it forme

Damn I just looked up how many games the magic have played all time and were coming up on 3000 games soon. I’ve probably seen 2000 of over the years. My mom used to say I watched too much basketball when I was growing up and now I’m thinking she was right..

GroupBQuattr0 | Magic

One game closer to firing Mosley

Far_Display7308

-6 | 6 hours ago

You can do that but yall never going anywhere with Paolo atp

Aeronova20 | Magic

8 | 6 hours ago

surely it’s paolo’s fault we lost this game and not the fact that we were down Suggs, Franz, Anthony Black and don’t have a competent coach

GroupBQuattr0 | Magic

7 | 6 hours ago

Or a real center who can rebound

Far_Display7308

-8 | 6 hours ago

I’m not saying he lost yall this game. I just think to me there’s an obvious change you make to take a step towards being a serious team. It’s not firing the coach.

Arixxtra

2 | 6 hours ago

If you think the H.C is good you are part of the problem and you want Orlando to be a Mid team

Far_Display7308

-4 | 6 hours ago

I don’t care about Mosley tbh he’s not been great. But I’d say you are part of the problem if you wanna keep building around PB no J for three more years.

Arixxtra

5 | 6 hours ago

the fact that you have to write “PB no J” tells me you are troll, so move along

Far_Display7308

Am I crazy or did the narrative change on Paolo super quick?

Kinetik09

He’s not had the year people were wanting or expecting

This-Top-8691

3 | 6 hours ago

The narrative is as quiet as kept when PB has great games and numbers. When he has a stinker haters become loud and pop out the woodwork.

DeadlyGoats

1 | 5 hours ago

His numbers are nice, but the eye test is bad. Bad shot selection and no effort when he doesn’t have the ball. He needs to mature

Victor_Wembanyama1 | Spurs

9 | 6 hours ago

You can’t outshoot the cavs

Aeronova20 | Magic

9 | 6 hours ago

I’ve completely abandoned hope.

I’m just here for Paolo shutting up the dumbass haters with these excellent performances and getting one game closer to firing Mosley.

GroupBQuattr0 | Magic

Magic’s 6 game slide could not have possibly come at a worse time. End of season is sort of when every serious team tries to string together something (or for especially dominant teams a time to relax and fly free). Magic has free fallen into 8 seed and could fall out of play-ins entirely. Can’t imagine the morale right now.

amidon1130 | Hawks

1 | 26 minutes ago

They’re not falling out of the play-ins, no one is the bucks are too far behind.

Sketchbookhobby

3 | 5 hours ago

Great game. It really came down to the Mitchell’s quiet 40 that made the difference. They did a good job taking the three away from Bane and forcing Paulo and Carter to defend the perimeter. This Magic side are missing three starters and still kept it close.

The Cleveland Cavaliers (45-27) defeat the Orlando Magic (38-34), 136-131.
