These mistakes are brutal especially since we aren't elite offensively. Orlando continuously puts themselves in difficult situations for no reason whatsoever.

I can't even say the Magic played bad that half. They shot the ball well. A few bad turnovers as usual and some mental lapses on defense. But, Embiid is just a monster. He's hitting tough shots against tough defense. He's just the best player on the floor by a big margin tonight.

Prob not worth it for a sideout.


Yeah fortunate for us we were able to stop them from scoring there. Also we probably wouldn't have won the challenge anyways.

I'm not one to normally complain about the refs but some of those calls are questionable

AB and Kevon replacing Cole and Houstan in the first half, and we'd be leading.

The Magic don't seem likely to shoot as well as they did in the first half in the second half, so they better stop turning it over and stop friggin fouling.

WCJ actually defended Embiid fine, he has size and weigh to play him fair. No wonder Magic fans can't wait to trade him.

surprised we haven't tried to trap embiid...hes been better with it this year but passing out of doubles remain a weak area of embiid's game

What else is new? This is just the '23-'24 Orlando Magic so long as there is no true point guard on the team that can also lift their arms above their head.

12 turnovers in a half just isn't acceptable. We're not good enough to beat anybody when we're giving away that many possessions, let alone a good team. We're shooting well and actually making free throws and we're still losing. As a defensive team, that's something that should have us in the driver's seat.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.
