How much trauma does Mosely have from some of these losses this year? Starters in up 22 with 5 minutes left and a back to back tomorrow lol.

Ok, we're up 22 with 4:44 left, we can put the bench in even tho theyve been awful

Ive said it all fking year, we dont need a hero, we just need a capable table setter. Get the ball over halfcourt. Get the ball to Paolo and Franz. Derek Fisher 101. Mind blowing that it hasnt been realised and honestly we will probably (sadly) go back to Cole Anthony next game anyway.

What a time to be a Magic fan.

To be fair, our bench has been horrendous recently and the Pels wont pul ltheir starters, but agreed

We probably won’t win the Timberwolves game so I guess he wanted to make sure we secure the win because our bench and deep bench can’t shoot.

The rest of the team is 15/37 from the floor, just 40.5%.

Seems like it was better in the second half than that.

They should probably start Cojo all season and bring Cole off the bench for bench scoring.

The people who dont understand why CoJo has value are the same ones who didnt value what Ingles did for this team. Not everything in this game is about dribbling and scoring points.

What a novel idea.

Houston and Howard aren't NBA players, how does our organization not know this? Black, at this point, is borderline. I really hope Houston, Howard, Cole, WCJ, Harris, and KCP are all playing elsewhere next year.

Nice game. Some real tests over the next 3.

I think that's too much turnover in one off-season. But i get your point

Paolo’s last 7 games:

30.4 PPG
7.0 RPG
4.3 APG
1.9 SPG
0.4 BPG

67.2 TS%

Those are All-NBA numbers and a season’s worth of that gets you into MVP talks if your team is good enough.

That level of activity would bring Weltman’s annual average up to where it should be for his tenure…why not, one big night, rip off the band-aid, why prolong the discomfort?…like my trade posts- total makeover :lol:

Jett has had plenty of opportunities to prove he belongs. Please gift his minutes to someone else or send him back to the G-League. He is on Bonny James level. PLEASE!

CoJo is why we won this game. A competent PG who can do a bit of everything and is comfortable with the ball.

Mittens at a bare minimum.
