    I'll give you that. And the Blazers didn't play Lillard, It was Nurks first game back and CJ's 2nd. It was Powells first game with the team.
    The magic are playing with players that are working hard and playing well.
    They are not push overs is all I'm saying. The Blazers won the game on the road as they should have. No reason to minimize it.

    And the Lakers didn’t have LeBron or AD.

    Another good point as the Lakers have gone 3-4 without them (Actually seems like AD loss has been tough to get by more so that James). They certainly are not the same for sure. But again. The Blazers were without Lillard and as i said above Nurks first game CJ's 2nd and Powell's first as well.
    Point Remains. The magic are playing hard and are competing with good teams.

    I don’t know if a couple games proves anything. If we’re not as good as the Bucks, then we’re better than the Sixers.

    Wendell Carter JR and Otto Porter Jr have contributed a LOT to Orlando. Their bench is much better than their starters. Check out the whole boxscore. Not just starters.
