Good win.  Fought our asses off for this one.  We're capable of winning playoff games even without JT, but there's no denying that he makes life much easier, lol. 

Crazy to me that JB puts up 36/10/5 and still has people complaining about him.  There have been nights this year that he has deserved some of the criticism.  This isn't one of them.  He was awesome.

Hauser and Kornet need to do some reflection after the game

Fantastic win without JT. White with a great 4th and even though JB still officially can?t dribble, he was awesome tonight. Happy to see he can still hit an extra gear with the knee injury.

Also, Magic are just not a serious team. Physical bordering on dirty and even that last 2 by Banchero to get to 100 instead of taking a 3 was pretty lame.

Despite the Magic not having the most impressive rotation after their two stars, it was a nice win. Pretty much led wire to wire.   JB certainly looked like he isn?t hampered at all.  A win without JT shows their depth. Kudos to Al - solid emotional performance.  Payton of course was solid again.  KP is a blast.  JB was superb.

TPs for a great home win! I have a feeling JT?s gonna sit game 3 out again now that we?re up 2-0.

I don't get it either.  Even the best players make multiple mistakes every game.  He handled a very physical (i.e. fouls a lot) team and carved them up when we needed him to have a strong game.  Not sure what people expect.  Then again there was an entire thread dedicated to how he didn't contribute to winning last season, so...

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.

Great win without JT. Took care of business at home. Hopefully JT will be back on Friday.
