Another questionable call going Orlando's way  ::)

I’m stuck watching the Magic coverage of the game (because I live in Orlando and the other coverage is blacked out). Overall, the Magic announcers are OK, but they have one really irritating habit that appeared last game and today.  When there is a coach’s challenge, they cut away for a commercial, and when they return, they tease that will tell you the results of the challenge after they talk about something unrelated.  They then discuss the play and the foul call, until they finally say whether the challenge was successful.  It’s a small thing, but super-annoying.

I feel better now that I’ve complained about it.

Nice quarter for JB!  Doing everything.  Scoring, blocks, assists.

Has JB actually turned a corner in his decision-making? While the "jumping in the air without knowing what you're doing" tactic is risky, usually he would've forced those up instead of making the right pass.

Tremendous stint by JB.  He’s been excellent lately.

JB seems to be embracing the assist game. He’s making the right plays. Great to see.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Jaylen Brown out there looking like Steve Nash with these passes.

Am I the only one who thinks Jaylen has been playing better than Tatum lately? Maybe my expectations for jayson are higher but idk

Banchero  is 9 for 12.

The rest of the Magic are 6 for 26.  Fortunately Franz and Anthony have been quiet so far.

This is a different Jaylen Brown. Fantastic plays.
Keep it up! They're running away.

JB really doesn't like Bitadze.  I remember JB pushed him back when Bitadze was on Indiana.

Holiday is killing it out there.  He's taken the challenge of guarding Banchero.  Did a great job on that last possession.
