The defensive success rate on the plays where Andre goes to double team someone has to be astronomically low.

were gonna have to re adjust eventually it's much better to to it early in the season

This is a tough loss.. Losses like this are the kind that keep you out of the playoffs at the end of the year.. just no excuse for it. You can beat the Clippers, and win against a bunch of good teams on the road, and you can't beat the Magic at home?

Losing Reggie for 20 games the team took a huge hit. Why would getting him back not do the same thing?

Upsetting the balance is always a fear.

Calling a game at the end of the 3rd does not make sense... anything could happen... still could.

The board went from bench Ish start Beno to start Ish over Reggie in like a week. It's his first game back and he had 18/4 in 23 mins.

We lost this game because of awful collective defense and really underwhelming games offensively for KCP & Tobias.

Leuer, Hilliard, Drummond, Harris, KCP all with off nights. Cant expect a w with that much people off their game. No panicking tho its just one of those days

KCP only 6 shots...no reason to freeze him out of the offense tonight

After the road trip Pistons clearly mailed this one in, thought they were too good to try. Glad they lost. It's deserved. Magic knew Pistons weren't trying and took advantage.

I mean on a normal night sure but Magic have been hitting shot after shot and our offense has been hit or miss tonight...so this was a pretty easy one to call early in the 2nd half.

No one is blaming Reggie for this loss. I certainly am not. I just see Ish as a better facilitator for the starters. Reggie can score all he wants if he plays as the 6th man

These shot attempts tell you EVERYTHING about the teams mindset. "What's the least amount of effort necessary?"
