The schedule & because our beloved ''continuity'' was a factor for the first time thanks to this years chaotic short offseason.

I know Clifford doesn’t like coaching decision making, but Jesus Christ he needs to start if MCW is going to keep hoisting those 3s.

He’s not the only one making poor decisions but they were certainly the most frustrating.

Typical Magic game when our poor shooters revert to the expected form. Playing Fulzt and MCW together for so many minutes is a recipe for disaster. AG is just not a good scorer and is unlikely he'll ever be, when he tries to be more aggressive most of the time he ends up taking one awkward contested layup after another mixed up with fadeaways, and he's terrible at both. At this point his best offensive skill is passing.

Vuc really doesn't look good in the new defensive scheme, and the others don't look much better, there were so many completely blown rotations and confusion by our defenders. Even on one of the last plays of the game when it still was within reach we left George Hill, the best 3 point shooter in the league, completely open in the corner.

It's weird how OKC's blatantly tanking roster could well have more talent than ours, especially with Isaac out.

David Steele and Jeff Turner's attempts to hype up our mediocre players are just sad at times, at one point last night they were praising Bacon for "having it all" in terms of offensive skills after he made a layup.

it was infuriating watching MCW clank shot after shot....Not just long range, i think he missed a couple bunnies as well right at the rim....We don't really have an alternative right now but i can't wait until ennis comes back to save us from MCW.....even saying that is kinda crazy to me....Any other team MCW would not even be suited up....Just curious, do you guys really want to see cliff with another roster? like if we decided to blow it up tomorrow would you keep him on?

I'd worry for his health. I still kinda do with the current squad.

No. He is not who I'd pick for a young roster that needs to develop. I think there are things he does really well, but player development is not among them.

MCW is good in his role as a defender and a guy that can the occasional points attacking the basket. Anything outside of that is too much for his abilities. Like him or not Fournier is a huge part of our offense and without him we’re bad.

My point is...

If you can't enjoy the moment as a fan, when can you?

If you say "only when the team wins a championship," that's fine.

But I'm relishing these facts while they're true.

I'm not WeHam. I'm not Alex Martins.

I don't have to look at the big picture.

As a fan, I can celebrate the highs and find something else to focus on during the lows.

But at the end of the day, I'm still a fan.

That's me though.

Y'all can let your mood be dictated by circumstances outside your control if that's what you want. There's no one definition of what fandom is.

But after a decade of sucksville, I'm enjoying what I can.

Don’t worry, they aren’t either.
