Discussion Everything is gonna be alright.

New York started 0 and 2, Miami is going to start 0 and 2, there are 80 more games to play.

We have a new coach, a new system to develop and we already starting to get the looks that we want in the offense and we saw that our defense can hold up with an offense like Minnesota.

Sure we need to improve on defensive boards and shooting but we've also seen that we can be better at these things in preseason.

Paolo scoring and Franz playmaking are at an all time high so no need to blow off the season and doom our future

2027 NBA Finals here we come.

Discussion mildly reactionary take: We are shooting way too many 3s

18 Upvotes

Over the last 5 quarters, we have shot 9-51 on 3s.

While the 3pt% here is obviously poor, what I don't like about this is the Opportunity cost. Paolo and Franz are both very skilled at getting to the line(granted Franz has shoulder issues rn), with both having a free throw rate above 35% for the past few years. Yet against minnesota tonight, the starters only got 13 FTs total, because we were prioritizing the 3 over any other shot. Franz has taken 14 3s in just 2 games

I'm all good with us playing at a faster pace, but we shouldn't just be chucking up 3s and forcing ourselves to constantly play in transition at all times. This is how we gave Atlanta so many easy points in the fourth, and minnesota so many easy points tonight. Especially when we have two very gifted 2pt scorers on this roster. What do y'all think?

HYPE! ITS MOTHER FUCKING GAME DAY!

51 Upvotes

IT's GAME DAY MOTHER FUCKER! Shake off the L, hold onto the ball, and let's fucking play the song!

My predictions for today:

Paolo sleep walks his way to 32/6/8 game with 3 TO. Makes a couple of threes, dishes out to shooters, continues his efficiency from last game

Franz has a strong appearance and his early shot making opens up Point Franz. he puts up 27/11/7 on some efficient shooting

Bane also has a come back game and puts up 24 points with 6 made three pointers. He throws the ball off of Lamelo Ball's face when Lamelo is already out of bounds and medics find he is not alert and oriented after the TBI from Bane's ball, but ANT reminds the medics that Ball is retarded.

Suggs continues to balance boneheaded plays with hustle and heart. He shoots better this game but still ends up doing something that makes you cringe. At one point he straight up tackles a traveling LaMelo ball, concerned that he may try to drive home after his concussion from Bane. Suggs puts up an effecient 16 points regardless

Wendell continues to be Wendell he makes a few shots, battles the bigs, and plays good defense. He puts up 8 points on 4/6 shooting with a couple of missed threes. At one point he gets a technical for picking up Lamelo Ball and moving him to out of bounds.

TDS continues to be TDS and shoots the ball well and is in the right place. He puts up 16 off the bench with 4/10 three pointers. Blocks a lamelo ball three pointer and lamelo gets called for flopping when he falls and pops ketchup packets on his hands to make it look he was bleeding.

Jase struggles but makes an open 3 pointer. Somehow him and Anthony Edwards become friends after the game

Cain dunks on Lamelo Ball and it becomes the highlight of the first week of NBA basketball. Lamelo blames his previous concussion at the post game press conference, but ANT reminds reporters that he is just retarded.

Goga takes Vooch's minutes and ends up tipping the ball in for the opponent, not once, but twice. Sean Sweeney turns red like Steve Clifford and realizes he cant play Goga because he's retarded and cant play Vooch cause he's too slow. Sweeney opts to play small ball with Paolo at the five for stretches.

Ultimately we win, Jaden McDaniels dances to "the song", and Anthony Edwards tries to convince the magic to trade Lamelo Ball for Jase Richardson. We trade for him but because our medical staff is so cautious he sits the whole season on "concussion protocols" as they observe his mental status and publish a paper about down syndrome in professional sports.

OC Weekly Orlando Magic Power Rankings

7 Upvotes

Probably should’ve started this before the opening game, but thought it might be fun to do a weekly power poll of Magic players throughout the season to look back on at the end of the season.

I will try to post a poll every Friday for voting and then the results the following week.

Will keep a results spreadsheet as well so if anyone has any questions about historical data feel free to leave a comment for me to look into.

I took off work on Sunday to catch the Magic and the Knicks in MSG. Will likely get my tickets tomorrow or Saturday but wanted to see if there’s anyone else going behind enemy lines. Will likely go in solo, but would love to sit by other Magic fans. I’ll likely get lower bowl tickets.

Can Franz really work as a co star with Paolo? It seems like we might only be able to build around one of them.

Man, I laughed so hard when Kendra reported that Sweeney said, "why aren't we playing harder?" in a timeout. Mose got so much crap for talking about playing hard.

What changes are we seeing this year that will have us playing better? Ignoring health, that's just a constant curse. Are we expecting Prunty's faster offense to not get muffled early like last year?

im sorry not an over reaction but magic need to end this nightmare with suggs.. his contract is terrible his production is horrible, his defense is over rated, his iq is trash his shooting is trash no one wants that contract and the magic cant afford to trade moreml 1st rd picks to get rid of that contract so magic are gonna have to eat it by waiving and stretching the contract. until the magic upgrade at guard this will ceiling is a 1st rd exit and overpaying black is not the answer as well. they need to upgrade from black and suggs if that happens then this team will finally be a contendor if healthy paolo franz bane hell even sweeney is legit.. suggs is the blacksheep of the team and its time to put it down

Discussion Music instrumentals blaring all game

21 Upvotes

Just got home, the actual game itself was great- very high level hoops.

With that said... Instrumentals of hip hop and rock blaring the entire game! Will this happen every game? In TV timeouts they would actually play the music along with lyrics which is always nice.. However the actual game interplay was relentless and loud AF instrumentals non stop.

They only turned it off for ref announcing review and free throws. Old man yelling at lawn moment I know. Will this be all season? I got season tickets and wasn't anticipating dj jazzy jaff with volume turned to 11 for the entire time. Thanks,

Discussion Everyone is relieved Franz is healthy but I’m upset about Penda

34 Upvotes

I thought Penda was phenomenal last year and was excited to see his second year, what he worked on over the summer, and if the bleached hair would give him any extra powers.

With Moe gone we don’t have many other big men who can move like him. Not Goga and certainly not JI.

EDIT: I just woke up and forgot Vooch was back on the team

I almost don’t care about the AB thing. We really don’t need him and Suggs imo, so this will work out. Jase is a fine backup 1.

At least it happened at the beginning of the season 😭
