You could drop Mike Tirico in the middle of a country he’s never visited, watching a sport he’s never seen before, and he will broadcast it flawlessly! Amazing
Even after 22 years in this business, days like today are hard. It is impossible to properly thank
@NikolaVucevic
in 140 characters. Nine years of giving his absolute best every night, always interacted with us, 2x All-Star, class act and terrific human! Thank you Vooch!! 🙏🏻
That’s why we love this team so much. They are hurting like hell right now, but the
@OrlandoMagic
is back, and every damn player on that team needs to hold their head up high. That was one hell of a season, especially from a 5-20 start. So proud of this team 💪🏼
I’m SO tired of this idiotic take. So let’s lose all 7 games, ruin all momentum we’ve built this year, shut guys down, not let Markelle, Wendell, Paolo, Franz, Jalen continue the fantastic years they’ve had so we can keep a 5% chance of getting 1 spot higher in the draft? Dumb.
If we screw our lotto odds and one of Portland Indy or Washington gets a top 3 pick y’all ain’t gonna like me very much. These last 7 games don’t mean a thing. You know why those other teams got better the next year ?? Because they got better in the summer.
#MagicTogether
Now 5 straight W’s for Orlando and 7 of 8(only Bucks also have 7 wins last 8 games)

Allowing 100.1ppg (2nd)
41.2% (1st)
3%-29.2% (1st)
Opponent FB points (2nd)

Opponent points of TOs (3rd)

Orlando Magic G Jalen Suggs when asked about his career-night of 27 points and 7 made long-range bombs tonight opened up about his battle with his “mental health”
He alluded to the demands of the season, the fatigue and expectations causing a “dip” for a couple days
40 wins for the first time since 2019 (42 wins)
40 wins for just the 2nd time since 2011
Half game out of 4th place in the Eastern conference. 14 games remain, the next seven at home.
23 home wins, only Boston and Milwaukee have more home wins in the East!
Winning is fun!
How about this
@OrlandoMagic
team?
3-1 road trip
3 games above .500, for the first time since 2017 (after 13 games)
Coming home for a 6-game homestand.
See you
@AmwayCenter
on Tuesday, 1st ever home in-season tournament game!
This is fun!!
Scary folks......Just spent a few minutes with
@TheRealMoBamba
and he said he has put in a ton of work on his jumper, and he’s added 28 pounds of muscle. This is a problem folks!! 💪🏼
I’m late to the party but I have to congratulate
@MGortat
on the close of a terrific NBA career. 57th overall pick in 2005, turned that into a 12-year career. True joy covering him here in Orlando! Class act, tremendous human being! Love the 🇵🇱 🔨
Can I just put it out there that I can’t freaking wait for this
@OrlandoMagic
season to start? Am I allowed to say that on July 13? Let’s go already!!!!!
Season 25 in the books!! Thank you so much
@OrlandoMagic
fans for making us a part of your gameday for another year! Big off-season and here’s to playing well into April…..or beyond… next season 👊🏻
What did we just watch?
I am so damn proud of this
@OrlandoMagic
team, there just aren’t words.
Incredible shot making, fight, resolve they left everything on the floor tonight.
Paolo is not of this Earth!!
Franchise record 25 made threes!
Chuma, Queen, Black, Suggs. Wow
Khem: ‘ I told my friend a month ago it’s my destiny to play against Toronto. My wife will be there and my three-month-old will see me play for the first time.’ The playoffs will be extra special for

#NBAAllStar
Tell me that game last night didn’t mean a lot to this team…..and to
@OrlandoMagic
fans!
9 straight wins at Amway Center, 11-1 in this building!
8-0 when holding team under 100pts
11 of next 12 games are against teams with winning records (other 1 is @ GSW) HUGE stretch
That is a BIG TIME WIN on the road! Playoff basketball baby!!
Don’t hit Jalen like that, it that only makes him mad 😡
Nets come through huge!!
Am I staying up to watch the Cavs in Phoenix? You better believe it!!
Franz gained nothing by hitting game-winning FTs against the GSW who have the 3rd best record in the NBA
Pointless 3 for Bamba and game saving block
Completely pointless for Cole to dive on the floor and force a key jump ball late
I haven’t had enough coffee for this nonsense
@MarkelleMagic
@DanteMagic
I watch to see how the young guys play. To see their development, they’ve had 73 games together, these last 9 aren’t important, we don’t gain anything with W’s 🤷🏻♂️
ROOKIE RANKS:
1st total points
1st games played (all 56-only rookie)
1st free throws made
1st-4th quarter scoring
2nd-clutch scoring
2nd PPG (15.6)
3rd-3%
4th-3’s made
4th total rebounds
4th total assists
4th total steals
5th? Franz should be Rookie of the Year!
#CarryTheHellOn
Jalen Suggs is close folks, really close. And being a pivotal part of a road win like this will do wonders for him. Also, someone please explain to him how ‘pardon my language’ works. 😬
This one stings, tale of two halves! But what an incredible season, far surpassed all expectations and each and every one of these guys will be better for this experience!
#EverybodyIn
#GoMagic
see you in October!!!
So many people owe this man an apology!!
if you had no problem writing this man off, someone you’ve never met, you damn well better step up and own your mistake.
It’s about time we get back to telling the good stories, and Markelle Fultz is THE best NBA story!! 💪🏼
@OrlandoMagic
fans let me hear you! WOW is this fun!! 6 straight and back to back against defending champs and 12-3 Celtics.
This building is ELECTRIC this year!!

Wanna wish
@Khem_Birch
nothing but the best. Nothing was ever handed to Khem! Undrafted, battled his tail off overseas, G league, and onto an NBA roster. That man earned everything he got all by himself, and I look forward to seeing him for many more years in this league 💪🏼
Congrats to
@steelemagic
on this remarkable achievement! I’m so proud to call him a colleague and a friend. We are so fortunate to have David Steele as the Voice of the

Absolutely devastated hearing this news. RIP Deb! Magic seasons won’t be the same without you, truly enjoyed all of our interactions over the years. You will be missed. 🙏🏻
Mama bear

Biggest win of the season and now back in 4th in the East! (Thanks Denver)
