  3. A complete team win. No weak links tonight, every single player played well. Defense was on point, need to keep that effort up each game.

  6. Chuma with a second straight defensive masterclass on a superstar. He’s our Superstar Stopper.

  7. Love the way we compete but we definitely got an assist from the weather for these last two wins lol

  11. I lost all of my fake Reddit money betting against the Magic tonight.

    Please forgive me. 😅

  12. Chuma locking down the opposing teams best player has made a huge impact. It will save Franz and Paolo on the other end

  13. We really beat Phoenix and Dallas without Paolo.

    This team is weird lmao. But I’m all for it.

  14. Loved the team defense and minimizing the turnovers. Good team win! Suggs looked like a starter this game too..

  15. Once Paolo and Franz get more comfortable playing together, the league is fucked. Both of these them demand so much attention on the offensive end, our healthy starting five is gonna be a problem for everyone

  16. Our defensive effort has improved tremendously, and the wins are coming because of that, we’re a genuinely good offensive team

  17. Honestly everytime you think Orlando is going to be down and out they pull a win out of their ass and surprise everyone

    Maybe we need to doubt them more

  19. We absolutely need to play Mo minutes, this is clear as day. Mo is the best center on this team, he is a stabilizer, once Mo is on the court the game gets on track, everybody knows their roles, and Mo plays within the team pace and carries.

    This is very important for the team to have a rock that they understand and is consistent, Mo is the offensive engine and the reliable defender, he is not singled out by the opponent like others, but in fact is a huge deterrent. Mo is a superstar, he needs 30 mins every night. Once Mo is played more than 15 mins this team wins, its not a coincidence, its a clear fact that Mo is the best synergistic piece for Suggs, Paolo, and Franz. Also Dell/Mo was a legitimate combo, and its better than most big combos in the league.

    I really hope these recent games with Mo gaining minutes show that Mo is a vital part of the team to some of yall. Mo is also not “lazy” his game is also expanding, his post moves, his dribble package, his float game, his athleticism, and he is a switchable defender taking on Guards, Forwards and Bigs anywhere on the court. Mo is an important piece of this team, and the team knows it. Look at how anytime Mo is on the court the offense flows through him. The other team also doubles Mo many times, or during the picks they all collapse on the rolls leaving the ball handler open from 3 since Mo inside presence is too dominerring. Its ridiculous to leave a top 3/D center in the league playing sub 10 mins a game. The guy is a starter on any other team in the league.

    Mo honestly needs a bigger role, he has popped off every game he played quality minutes, being a piece that can absolutely be pointed at for the reason a lead accumulated. I have said it before but the Magic won that draft year, yes Luka/Trae would have been nice, but Mo is also a prize and its not a consolation prize but the grand prize.

  23. Thought we needed to get 3 wins during this home stand, did NOT think these would be the three lol

  24. I’m sorry, WHAT?

    Can someone explain to me how ya’ll are crushing it? Genuinely happy for you guys. is it good basketball or is your opponents shitting the bed?

  25. Great to get 2 in a row. Hopefully we can keep building on this when we play the Hornets in a few days!

  28. This postgame show is great. VC with Jeff and Steele, and then Dante with Q and Nick. Helped that the Magic won too!

  29. Good all around game. Big shoutout to Chuma for clamping up Book, and also another good building block game for Suggs as he continues to find his footing in the league.

    Franz and WCJ doing what has come to be expected of them so nothing surprising there.

  30. Magic 3-2 on their home stretch with two more winnable games on the docket (CHA, MIN). Ross’ in-between game has been a welcome sight this season, and Chuma’s defense has been crazy

  31. Elevator attendant at Amway in very broken English before the game told me- “stop booker we win easy”

    He was so right!

  35. GREAT high-effort defense.

    We held Dallas to their lowest scoring all season at 87 pts (and will prob stand as their lowest thru end of season)

    Held phoenix to their lowest scoring all season, 97 pts.

    Team is def clicking at Amway! Crowd stays lit!

  37. Fultz, Cole, JI, Paolo on the BENCH….y’all ready for some fireworks after the All Star break

  38. I can’t believe it’s not a loss! Two good teams beaten in a row. Are they getting into the rhythm? We’ve had straight wins like these before, only to end up losing again. I’d like to see only a few losses a week to believe. Let’s get it to 4th seed yo! I’ve had to tolerate the tanking culture and last year’s led to an amazing result(weren’t really tanking though, we just suck). Just play ball!

  39. Point Franz is legit. This is a real playoff team when healthy. We’ve competed in every game and we never stop playing hard. Play calling and substitutions are starting to look sharper too. I criticized Mose so it’s only fair to give him credit as well
