    Put Zach back in. Nurkic is sleeping.

    Every team’s best player gets geared to be stopped

    They're hugging Dame on defense.

    Dame bound and determined to get up a shot. Step back 20' jumper barely drew iron.

    So you want him to go straight C.J. mode, or do you want him to trust his teammates, who are playing well?

    We need to use him off the ball more right now. That's how you beat a defense that's geared up to stop him the way that Orlando is.

    That is such a weak call on Collins. Bigs do that all game every game. #RookieTreatment

    Do you have an excuse for his 3 fouls and single digit points?

    Dame's last 2 shots have been forced. Not good shots when not in a rhythm.

    Finally gets a foul on the break. Maybe that will get him going.

    He has single digit points because he's not isolating a shooting a ton... He's doing exactly what people want from him and he's been efficient, and now it's "he only has single digit points"....

    It's ridiculous. 3 fouls, okay. Fine. That offensive call was a bad call. 2 bad fouls... so what?

    Way to finish the half Dame. Maybe that will kick start him for the 2nd half.

    Why was the O foul a bad call? He clearly cleared him out with his arm. I thought it was a good call and a correct call.

    People also forget how long and athletic the Magic are in the frontcourt... Jonathan Isaac at SF (6'10, long, agile) and Aaron Gordon at PF (he's a goddamn pogo-stick)... It's not gonna be easy for Dame to get lay-ins. That last layup was a great, crafty finish that still almost got blocked by Isaac.
