The Magic made the playoffs! And they’re not the 8th seed! It’s been a long time coming. The Dwightmare really set the franchise back like a million years apparently, because the last time they made the playoffs was with Dwight Howard on the roster, his last year with them, the 2011-12 season. How many teams…

Terrence Ross only needed to make six shots to score 26 points. In the pre-three-point era that would have been crazy, and it’s still a bit crazy even in the three-point era. However, it’s not the most points scored this season on only six field goals. Bradley Beal scored 28 on six made shots, and…

We hear all the time about revenge games that are happening around the league. Mario Hezonja just had a major one against the Magic, but all across the NBA there are countless players playing against teams they once donned the jersey of. In the past, this was not quite as common, but in this age…

If the Orlando Magic make the playoffs (which still has a 40% chance of happening according to the inerrant basketball-reference), whoever’s the first seed should be very, very afraid of Terrence Ross. He’s turned it up a notch this season, becoming the premier off-the-bench shooter in the NBA. What if he has another notch to…

For the first time in his career, I would say that Terrence Ross has reached the greatly-desired status of “good”. Tons of players work their butts off for their whole career and never get there, and that’s what I thought Ross was going to be doing as well. He’s had single games of “good” (who…

Since I’m pretty much out of things to say about Terrence Ross, instead I’ll say some things about the guy who he just reminded me of: Terrence Williams. What happened to that dude anyway? He’s only 31 years old right now, so he should still be in the league, but he hasn’t played in the…

Given what you know about Terrence Ross and the teams he has previously played for in his career (or, more accurately, “team”), you should be able to easily guess how I’m going to describe this performance by Ross. That’s right. It’s a REVENGE GAME. Never mind that Ross was never mistreated while in Toronto. He…

I don’t get it. The Magic have won five straight now (some of them, like this one, being blowouts), and it’s not like they beat up on bottom-of-the-barrel teams to do it: -Timberwolves -Bucks -Hawks -Pelicans -Hornets Did trading for Markelle Fultz unlock some secret motivation inside the Magic players? Did trading Jonathon Simmons away…

Terrence Ross is quietly becoming one of my favorite shooters in the league. I never expected that something like this would happen, honestly. Either the “favorite” part or the “shooter” part. He’s always been an okay shooter, but in Toronto, he was content to float through games without making a consistent effort to have an…

Earlier in the season I brought up the idea that Terrence Ross, with his 14 PPG average, might have an outside shot at winning the sixth man of the year award. Now that he just had a 26-point game to complement his 30-point game a week ago, I was ready to revisit that idea. I’m…
