  1. Goga made an enemy out of giannis by dunking on him. Giannis attacking him every given opportunity πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  2. Bitaze is a baby down thereπŸ’€πŸ’€. Got bodied and out muscles like 10 time in the paint in this game. Only in the NBA because of his height

  3. Magic have done an amazing job building back their franchise. Possible champs in 5 years if they keep a solid group together

  4. I don’t even care that we lost, having Paolo back and still performing like that is so good

  5. Magic announcers did not know that Giannis is in the top 10 fg% of high volume midrange shooters… They found out real quick tho!

  6. Jordan would absolutely dominate this era. He literally has every skill to pay the bill.

  7. Talking to orlando fans.. i went to the game last night. The first of this season. Anyways, what I noticed was how paolo was extremely rusty, and his timing was off, especially in the first half. I could tell he was frustrated with himself the first half because he couldn't do the things he knows he's is capable of doing. And obviously, because of the time he missed. In the second half, he was a lot better. Through and through it's easy to see how talented he is and how much he wants to win. For example in the 4th quarter giannis, like the entire game was straight up punishing goga. Goga couldn't do anything to stop giannis.. Paolo would come back into the game late in the fourth and take on the responsibility of guarding giannis, and would stop him from scoring on multiple plays. Secondly, the magic shouldn't have even been in this game, after playing the back to back. In the first half I could see how tired guys were. At one point johnathan Issac stood on the opposite side of the court on multiple plays when the magic had the ball, bent over with his hands on his knees, forcing the team to call a time out. With all the injuries, paolo never playing with 3 of the guys who played starter minutes, and having rookies, d-league guys, and 3rd string guys playing, on top of the back to back, and a rusty paolo, it's crazy the magic lead the entire game until the last 5 mins of it. To me it showed how special this team is and how ppl like myself been saying just that the past two seasons. The magic offense looked horrible, yet they were leading the game. Their defense, watching it live is unreal. At one point in the fourth quarter it was like watching a well-oiled machine, everyone on one string, all at the same time locked down on defense, without even looking or speaking to each other. That would be the play where Issac forced Lillard to turn the ball over by trying to pass to a teammates, and instead the ball went out of bounds. How orlando players just locked down like that and through certain points of the game, or I would say most of the game. Milwaukee couldn't get into the paint, or get a good shot at many stretches of the game really ahowed me why and how orlando wins games. It was just giannis was dogging goga all night, which is why goga isn't a starter like some of you think he is. Giannis couldn't do wendell the way he was doing goga. Lastly, Da silva is good and watching him on TV I can kinda of see it. But watching him live, I can see how talented he really is and how special he will be as he develops. Definitely a core peice. Most of the night he looked like the second best player for the magic, with the guys who played. Besides the 3rd quarter where black who im high on, dominated in the 3rd quarter. Another guy who doesn't appear to be super athletic until you watch him live. I had no idea he was the athletic. Just to see orlando compete and be in the game against a team with two superstars and talented role players, with all the circumstances, just let's me know how dangerous we will be once we get healthy.

  8. Also giannis dunks dont really appear to be that quick watching the highlights on a screen but in person watching him live he's off the ground and dunking in the blink of an eye before you really can stop him. I think watching him on a screen doesnt really show that. As a magic fan i was excited to see him and dame almost as much as i was to see paolo. Understanding im watching one of the current best ever live in giannis as well as watching one of the best shooters ever in Lillard. As well as understanding paolo is already great and next up. I think by yrs end paolo will prove he's the best player 25 yrs old and under. Yes against wemby, ant edwards, zion, morant, chet, cade, jaylen williams or anybody else. Ant edward, nor morant or zion, or cade started their 3 yr scoring amd doing what paolo was before his injury. And wemby next yr in his 3yr most likely wont be at 29pts a game neither.
