[Highlight] Desmond Bane banks in a 3 to give the Magic a 6 point lead with 1:16 remaining. Ja and JJJ are amused.
Pretty dope to see them supporting Bane even now that they’re all on different teams
This shit hurts me more than you can imagine lol
i’m cryin in the club rn
Y’all had a dynasty
Lmao. A dynasty of 2nd round exits. But it could’ve been one of those really fun teams everybody remembers.
I think they needed more time and fortune. This FO couldn’t build a team around them at all. Just hundreds of rookies
Maybe in the east. That roster is cooked in today’s west. OKC eating their lunch every year
C’mon now, Ja aint worry bout the west
Injuries hurt and then Ja being a dumb ass.
The GM is and has been the problem, for whatever reason he escapes criticism amongst the fanbase on reddit. It’s an interesting phenomenon.
It’s better than whatever it is now
Ehhhhhh
“The dynasty starts after you”
Y’all was close. I mean why couldnt Ja be interested in like pokemon cards instead of gun nutting as his side hobby?
It’s really cute to me
After all the shit with Ja I did not expect him to be last in Memphis.
Pistons cooked
They really wasted this season. Had Tobias on a 26m expiring, picks, and some young players to go out and find a proper second option next to Cade. Instead they blow it and enter an offseason where Jalen Duren contract negotiations are gonna be wild
I don’t understand their deadline decision to stand pat when even then it was apparent they needed another guy to shoot
They had that first seed confidence when they really shouldn’t have
Too bad they didn’t have Malik Beasley
It basically depended on whether they wanted markenen or not i guess
No other high profile player was truly available i think (giannis bullshit aside)
They probably should have signed Duren years ago when he was a lot cheaper, because he is prob going to want the max. The full max at that
He’s still on his rookie deal, earliest they could extend him was this year.
ORLANDO MAGIC 🎶
the pistons lost again
If they go out like this they’re arguably the biggest frauds ever. Honestly can’t remember a #1 seed performing like this since 2007 Dallas.
2021 Utah Jazz came close
Their second round was disappointing but backdoor sweeping the Grizzlies wasn’t bad.
I think it’s just a bad matchup for them
Nah they frauds fr who else can score besides Cade?
The only issue is we only have 1 more home game. It’s all going to come down to game 6.
The biggest issue is Franz 😭 he was just starting to play his best. We struggle enough to score as is. We really need Paolo and Suggs to figure it out, or else game 5 isn’t gonna go well
I like how this sentence can be interpreted as either a compliment or demeaning.
The most fitting possible dagger for this series
High af bank off the board to break the Pistons in half, what a heartbreaker
Another 8th seeded Floridian NBA team about to upset a 1 seed?
Duncan may be getting close to experiencing this on the other side.
Don’t even need to say NBA didn’t the Panthers do that and go to the Stanley cup finals a few years ago
Something about Floridian teams and upsetting the 1 seed in the NBA and NHL
FL used to upsetting the country
100% accurate statement
It’s only possible for an 8 seed FL team to upset the 1 seed in NBA and NHL!
Orlando heat?
They have a really good chance to make the ECF tbh
8-seed Florida NBA teams upsetting 1-seed Midwest teams. Name a more iconic duo.
Big Balls Bane
Been the Magic best player so far these playoffs
This year too. I get people clown on the haul they gave up to get Bane but he’s helped cover a lot of the team’s underperformance this year.
Insane bank on that shot
Banked 3s from close to the top of the 3 point line is such a cool shot
FUCK THEM PICKS
Bane has had some huge games for the Magic down the stretch and is by far their best shooter
Lots of people clowned that trade but you can’t say he hasn’t delivered
Pistons should’ve traded for him last year and they would’ve been actual contenders
For all the way too many darn 1st round picks in a trade for one player trades that have happened in the last few yrs. I would say he might be the best one or at the very least a lot better than that Bridges one #AnyoneWantAMulligan
Well they clowned the trade because the magic gave up a lot for him plus he AND the magic were disappointing this year…
If they lose the play in game the coach would’ve been fired before they even got to the locker room and the consensus would be that the trade was bad…
But then the magic locked in vs the hornets and have been rolling in the first round against the pistons
Interesting Ja celebration 😅
To quote Kevin Nash, “HE’S GOT A GUN!”
It was fitting that the dagger came off a bank shot.
Not really
what a moment for the magic. good for them they deserve this
From the entire fanbase dooming about the state of the franchise after the Sixers game to this. What a rollercoaster
An insane turnaround. The 76ers have to be watching this like wtf
My coworkers and I were talking about the changes that were going to happen after the Hornets loss as a statement of fact. We just knew that game was going to be an embarrassing loss. It is hard to fathom where we are now…
Never give up on the magic my guy.
Desmond Bank
Ja bringing out the guns
Im so happy they eliminated us. This is 100x more entertaining than that series would’ve been
That grizz team had some swag
This is why you get Bane. I can admit I said they gave up too much for his production but he’s making me look foolish
BANG BANG BANG
So nice to see a genuine friendship between players.
Damn and quite a few people thought the Pistons were good enough to go far in the East. Me included
Good to see the pistons responded by Thomson driving directly into 4 defenders and getting blocked
Magic has a weird month. Lol. The discourse during the playin tournament then being up 3-1 against the #1 seed. 😳😅
I feel like Bane is Robert Horry without the rings yet
As a Jazz fan, It’s cool to see Jazz Legend Triple J make a lot of cameos today. Certainly a Jazz legend. My favorite moment of his Jazz tenure so far is him getting benched in the 4th quarter in a game the Jazz won, but Adam Silver decided to fine Ryan Smith 500k for winning a game.
Why is Duncan Robinson not out there?
Dude can’t guard a wet noodle
He’s a godawful defender
Secured 1st seed just to get cooked in the first round. Dang!
Did he call bank?
I saw that midair and was like “Off” 😂

Probably for their old teammate Bain
Ice water in his veins
