2024-2025 Regular Season Game 42: Orlando Magic (23-18) at Milwaukee Bucks (21-17) 8:00PM

[SOUL]

It kinda just is what it is. A healthy Boston needed a last second shot to beat the Pels at home and now they're losing to the Raptors on the road.

Not jumping off the porch because of a bad game against a healthy Bucks team. I already know we need to improve around the margins, this game doesn't change much.

I don't understand how unbothered some of you are at the fact that we are in last freaking place by a mile in one of the most significant offensive statistics.

It’s not the fans that are unbothered, it’s the front office.

The Magic were in the bonus for over 3 minutes and didn’t really take advantage of it.

they're (smartly) clogging the paint.

Bulldoze through, they would have to foul.

Thank you.

Jett a healthy DNP or did he not get through his pregame workout.

[KillMonger]

If I'm mose, I'm looking at Franz like.... "suit up whatever you got to give us is probably miles better than what we have on the floor now"

They said as long as the team is succeeding they'll reward them with continuity

probably was ruled out after the pregame. No way he wouldn't get a look after all of those bricks... I hope.

The response is always like "trade Cole/GH/whatever" for someone as if that is going to turn a team around. It's not. The level of complaining and overreaction is just fan frustration, I get it, but you are essentially looking at massive moves if you want to be an elite offensive team - you simply don't want to be a defensive team.

The rest is literally waiting for Franz/Paolo/Suggs to get healthy and mature as offensive options.

We don’t need to be elite. I love a team with a defensive identity. It’s incredibly rare in this game. We can win being a tenacious, physical defensive team if we can buttress it with a competent offense. But we don’t have shooters. I really think this team, healthy, could go all the way if they found a way to pick up 2 reliable perimeter scorers.

[rcklsscognition]

Regardless of who is or isn’t healthy you can still execute the offense especially since we have a lot of duplicate players. We can’t shoot. Why? I don’t know because even the guys who only play a few minutes a game can’t hit them so the too tired from defense doesn’t work there. Of course we can win games and have a good chance to win tonight but the playoffs is the goal here and in a 7-game series this isn’t going to cut it.

We've only won these last two years because of defense.

That’s not what I was saying. I was saying us playing hard defense isn’t an excuse for us not being able to shoot threes.

I cant wait till we move on from Caleb and Gary... trade deadline couldnt come soon enough.

I mean.. we were supposed to be stack with a lot of 6'10 and higger longbois yet we had to send in Caleb??? We really are down

Jokes on you thinking they’re going to make any moves. I can already see it, we didn’t find anything that made sense or would ruin the chemistry.

Dante and Jeff announcing in a closet?

Eh, I don't. Not sure there's even an example of a team this young with their main pieces also being this young being a serious championship contender. Especially with the top teams at the moment. I feel like the front office feels this way too, and you will see more "serious moves" as the team gets older. You've seen the Nuggets do this, Bucks, etc do this adding pieces as their main guys (Jokic/Giannis) became contention level franchise guys.

I do think they are a pesky team for any team in the league when healthy though. I'd love an addition of Sexton or someone provided we don't give up too much.

[Bensational]

We’re complaining about shooting but the Bucks are destroying us with only 3 made 3’s on 6 attempts. They haven’t had to stress about chucking 3’s the way we have because they can attack the paint. We’re 11-25 from 2. Bucks are 21-34 from 2. That’s the big discrepancy tonight.

[Skybox]

Bring in the 10-day tryouts...I believe I heard that's where MEM found a few gems who could (when the core is healthy) form a hungry, desperate, and inexpensive deep bench going forward.

LMAO it sure seems like it! WTF?

[SOUL]

That’s not what I was saying. I was saying us playing hard defense isn’t an excuse for us not being able to shoot threes.

Ah, okay. Maybe so. I just think most of our guys are streaky anyway, and you take away the offensive attention from other guys on our team, they wilt even more.

Maybe you should be watching something that won’t make your blood boil.
