A win for Orlando is a win for defense. You got to love how the NBA has officiated the game after the disastrous All-Star game.

[QUOTE=90sgoat;14903948]Where does Orlando go with this team?
Keep Wagner and Banchero both? Trade Suggs? Trade Wagner?
Wagner and Banchero both seem to operate in the same space, but Wagner needs the ball more than Banchero. Someone said a trade for Trae Young? Do you send Wagner to Atlanta? The german to the jungle? Trae and Banchero and Suggs seems like a solid core.[/QUOTE]
I dont think they need to trade anybody for now. Banchero and Wagner are a physically imposing duo and unselfish enough to play with each other. You can stagger their minutes as well. Isaac is showing some floor spacing ability at center, if they can get more shooting at guard I think theyll be in a good spot. I dont think it even has to be a top echelon point guard, just some shooters like Max Strus, Grayson Allen would help.
But that front line with Pao, Franz, JI, with Mo off the bench is big and versatile and promising. I think they got a bright future.
Wagner is a super efficient finisher. Contact doesn't bother him.
He has some of that Ginobili in his game, the use of tempo to get open. Mix of Detlef and Ginobili.
Max strus awarded a flagrant foul for trying to catch and protect Cole Anthony after an attempted hammer.
:facepalm:
Marcus Morris taking the uncontested layup in garbage time to get a score on the statsheet :facepalm
I feel like these two teams are pretty equal. Magic have higher ceiling than Cavs but a lower floor. That's because they are highly dependant on making 3's as a team. I hope Magic make it to next round because they are more fun to watch. I really like Suggs. Also have a soft spot for Fultz(the player not the poster).
Cavs have a nice team, but I'm unsure about Donovan Mitchell as their guy to push them into contention.
Also not a big fan of Garland, his offense doesn't make up for his small size on defense. They would be better off with a more traditional point guard to find Mobley and Allen more.
What did I tell y'all don't be sleeping on the Magic
thats not a foul
if refs have balls they reverse it
This is not an NBA forum.
No one is commenting on a playoff game
Banchero breakout game (for his post season career)
His teammates gotta move around more when he has the ball tho, he keeps his head up and looks for options but they kinda just stand around. Hes had to hit some tough shots and luckily he has.
Edit: I jinxed him :(
Paolo knows he has teammates?
Game saver by Mobley
Yikes, it's very tight. Too bad that last second three wasn't enough.
Refs saved Gayland on the last play. Paolo got fouled on the made 3
