Orlando Magic are in 4th place in the East. Just a game out of third and two games out of second.

I was in the Heat’s hotel in Philly on Wednesday. Weird to see several of the players just walking around and hanging out. Only one I recognized was Delon Wright.

Every time I watch D’aaron Fox I wonder why John Wall could not have improved his shooting like this kid has.

The wizards stink got to him. Players thrive when they leave, he stayed too long

I’m going to blame the refs since that is what the NBA has ruled.

The sad thing is that they missed a couple of these at the end of the Sixers and Heat play in game just a few days ago. And when you hold before the ball comes inbounds you get a free throw and possession.

That he survived last year was remarkable. Seems like Matt Williams all over again.

They surrounded him with better assistants this year, like Sam Cassel and a dude who just got hired to HC another team (brainlock, but it was announced yesterday or today).

Number one seed in the west is toast Saturday. And yes, the number one seed in the west is far better than the top seed in the East. NBA championship is Mav vs Nuggets

Bet Luka to bounce back and score more than 30. So I’m pleased.
