throwing up a Batsignal to any Magic fans: looking for a Jameer Nelson jersey in a men's medium. Prefer the 2009 style (modern pinstripe). If you're looking to sell, please gimme a shout.

The Magicβs halftime adjustment of βmake every shotβ and βdonβt let Cleveland make any shotsβ is paying off.

Udonis Haslem is on the floor for Miami with R.J. Hampton for Orlando. When Haslem made his NBA debut, Hampton was 2 years old.

Also, not necessarily a trope, but: it is such a delight when a character says the name of the movie. Bob Odenkirk Kool-Aid manning into Little Women to bellow βMy little women!!!β almost knocked me out of my chair

I don't know where the Magic learned to do this. They haven't been here before. Regardless of the result Sunday, you have to be proud of this group. Would have been easy for them to pack it in during that Mitchell barrage.

Not having Josh Robbins on the Magic beat is a tremendous loss. Without question the best writer in the teamβs history. The Wizards are getting one of the greats.

Jeff Turner theorized on the broadcast that Franz Wagner's resurgence could be connected to Wendell Carter Jr.'s return to the lineup. There's probably something to that. Wagner shoots 49.6/42.2 with Carter on the floor and 40.8/23.9 without him

If Kidd is in Dallas that means heβs not in Orlando. Good! Would be even better if he were completely out of the league, but we canβt all the time get what we want.

Very impressed with Paolo Banchero today. Biggest game of his NBA career and he has played very under control and hasnβt settled for too many hero shots.

As Khobi points out, Wendell Carter is the Magicβs leading scorer this calendar year. And also, last night: βEmbiid went 6 of 19 (31.5%) when Carter defended him while recording 2 turnovers and being blocked by Carter twiceβ

Gary Harris had 22 points tonight without making a two-point basket. I wonder what the most points scored without a two-pointer in Magic history is. Sounds like an Is This Anything? to me!

Good. The bills go together or not at all. That was the arrangement.
New - President Biden called Pramila Jayapal this afternoon amid standoff over strategy to advance his agenda, per three sources familiar with the matter. She left CPC meeting early to take the call. Iβm told about 20 progressives ready to vote infrastructure down tonight

there is a chance--a chance!--the Magic won't be a bottom-five offense this year. Maybe not even bottom-10. Surest way to get there is 65 games from Markelle Fultz.

Regardless of the final outcome of the season, thereβs so question that Jalen Suggs has solidified his standing as the Magicβs third core piece. All-League defensive potential and his offensive improvement is huge.

in his first 10 seasons he averaged 18.3/12.9/1.5/1/2.2 on 57.9% shooting, made eight straight All-Star teams, led the league in rebounding five times and FG% once, won three straight DPoYs, and made All-NBA eight times. He's in on the first ballot and it's not a question.

this is where the Magic really miss Markelle Fultz. The offense is completely stalled out, the ball occasionally moves side-to-side but never into the paint. Fultz can at least bend defenses by attacking the rim.

the DeVoses have owned the Magic for 32 years. They have been public figures for far longer, so we have known their politics and their values. As a family, they have donated to right-wing causes and candidates in the past. That's a matter of record.

I love Tobias Harris and I love him for Philly in particular. Orlando dumping him for two expirings which became the cap space to sign Jeff Green for a year continues to be inexplicable.
