Pistons just rusty needed this pickup game
Did not expect but let's see what happens next game. Knicks in 6
The so called Dark Horses have left the Stables. We're just getting started believe me 🪄💪🏻🔥💯
We didn't even trail not one time the whole game! Just a little magic for yall!
Yeah 👍
Cavs fan here. Bickerstaff was let go in Cleveland because of his playoff coaching. He will always be outcoached… Playoff record is 9-20…
This guy never saw the Magic play during the season
as a magic fan, we all know the expectation before the season started. a top 3 top four finish. but it was a disappointing season. now, if the magic plays the way we expect them to be this playoff, i dont know if they get passed the pistons, but if they can took it to seven or second round, i'll accept that. but if this will be a gentleman sweep because of their inconsistency, then it will be a disappointing season.
And they say miami gotta a bad deal like they forgot how duncan do in the playoffs. undependable
What do you mean they waited?? They weren’t healthy!!
The heat was planning to be the eigth seed to play the piston so they can avoid playing boston but ball destroyed the plan.
Regular season don't matter people its playoff time and magic have more experience and a healthy magic team playing like this with heart and hustle can beat any playoff team because it's the will that gets you to the Championship. Regular season stats in the playoffs mean nothing
GO MAGIC 2026 !!
This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about
They’re not trading Paolo dummy
What is truly remarkable is that this wasn't a typical "walk-off" scenario—where an underdog team pulls off a fluke victory against a powerhouse—but rather a dominant performance in which they maintained the lead and applied relentless pressure from the first quarter all the way through to the fourth, never once allowing their opponent to take the lead. I have never seen a 1st-seed vs. 8th-seed matchup quite like this before.
