Watching this team hurts. The weaknesses are so clear. What needs to be done is so obvious and yet...

Paolo and Wendell only passed it to each other the whole quarter, and they both have the same agent.

Cole Anthony is causing us too many problems on defense. He fouls too much then the team is on the penalty early. Its snowballs.

It's incredible and sad that we've gotten to this point, but my desire to watch Paolo Banchero play basketball is completely and utterly gone.

His frustrating bits can be stomached when he's actually contributing at a high level offensively, but when he's not he's legitimately probably the most damaging player in the league when you factor in his usage.

The Magic are really not in a good place right now. We've done nothing to make the game easier for Paolo and he's going to leave if we don't make an effort. Weltman better be on the hot seat this summer.

Yup, I always say imagine if they were in the west. Would have like top 6 odds at Flagg and be the 3rd worst team in that conference. Crazy.

Paolo going from an ascending offensive force to a complete garbage player on both ends is the weakness right now.

It's been obvious something with Paolo is off, doesn't serve anything for people to keep beating that horse... it's dead already

Franz Wagner has to be frustrated. He is expected to be the entire offense every game now.

We have Paolo who is shooting himself out the game and KCP and Harris not really bothering to shoot at all. Lovely.

Honestly, who cares? We win because of defense and he sucks on defense. He was critical as a high usage guy and now Franz has proven he can do it, too. Paolo's game is lazy and soft.

He tore a muscle in his core. He may not be totally right until next season.
