Thunder & Magic killed it.

How did magic kill it ?? In my opinion Franz can’t shoot or defend, Kcp is starting to show his age and they haven’t done much else worth noting

@zacharylenson5399 Franz CAN defend, if you watch possessions... but he does need to get his 3 ball back... he just needs to shoot average and we win 50 last year easy
So cool to hear my Magic called out right at the top of this episode
The Magic were playing for the 2 seed basically until the last 2 games of the season. So it's not a huge jump to think they'd be better than almost anyone but the Celtics. Provided Paolo, Suggs and Franz take another leap. And yes OKC looks dangerous!
Tristan Da Silva is going to be a problem from the getgo
I don’t care about any of this news but I am here for Nick and Pat. Thanks bros.
As a blazers fan, seeing the lakers strike out many times and making the worst draft pick in NBA history at 55 makes my heart happy!!
Orlando Magic 🪄 🏀🔥🙌
You two are the best duo in here! Bar none!
This buddy hield teeth conversation is killing me 😂
Chet wanted to make sure he made the right play, which appeared to make him a little hesitant. Regular season he played free.
Nick had me rofl with the “splash buddies” & Pats a fool saying “his head was smaller but his teeth were the same size” 💀
Raccoon squad 🦝🦝🦝🦝
Warriors are doing a Kobe on the lakers in his last years, it’s going to be underwhelming teams around curry and it’s going to be tough to watch
I'm a warrior fan and I keep receipts
Will Dawkins, the 2nd year General Manager of the Wizards, has a solid plan in place for the team. Jonas Valančiūnas will be the starting center and will assist in the development of Alex Sarr at Power Forward.

Wiz are irrelevant - come back in 25 years
Funniest pod in a while
I’m pet confident that ihart is starting
Practical basketball fans have seen Magic's growth YOY. We are so accustomed to seeing star players speed date that we have conflated player development with being stagnant. Paul George would have required a max contract and there was no room with Paolo/Franz. Klay has an injury history and KCP is a better option in terms of age and defense. This has been a measured approach to a budding franchise and no sophisticated NBA insider would deny the Magic are a top four seed in the east barring injury. If PB, FW and JS take the next step you could argue they are a potential two seed.

Yeah bro... some people don't understand how to develop players, and a culture.... people out here trying to play 2k in real life People were saying trade Anthony black cuz he didn't play in the playoffs... he's 19 jeesh chill out....
OKC OKC OKC ❤
Caruso won't start over Dort. AC is a tiny bit better but Lu just had an amazing playoff & has been the heart of this team for yrs. To tell Dort you lost your spot to a guy who is a clone of you & who wasn't starting on the Bulls, could be taken as a smack in the face. I'd start AC over iHart(so Chet is still the official Starting Center, so playing AC & Lu both in starting l/u makes sense
Bulls redeem team rocks NBA
Pat, bro, if you are gonna wear those chains you need to go to a barber at least once. That facial hair is unhinged.

Mavs, A+++..mffl
The wizards are rebuilding, let them do that in peace 🤷
