People are just happy with effort from grown ass professionals playing basketball. Sad times in Orlando.

Great D AG! Great play by Payton to keep it.

The season just started and I'm already embarrassed like we're about to finish a 20-win season

Nah, I've seen enough... I don't care if we beat the 76ers awful roster (it's only awful because they haven't commited to winning yet). Once they trade Okafor and Noel for some wings (and get another in this draft), they'll be set.

Thank you. Probably won't win but don't hang your heads and get blown out again.

Nope. 3rd game of the season and I've never, ever been so down on the team in my 20 years as a lonely fan from Portugal. This is depressing as it can be because they (FO and coaching staff) sold us this 5th year after Dwight as the one to get back in business.

Sucks that we may be another 4 years away from competing, it's like a loss decade.


Rebuilding through the draft would be the absolute worst decision ever. It's why we are in the place we are now. It's an all or nothing approach that almost never works. It was foolish of Rob to rebuild that way and doing it again would be beyond idiotic. More losing to add to this losing culture is the exact opposite of what this team needs to do. They need to get a squad that can win, and more importantly play hard every night, even if it's not a championship caliber team at the moment.

Which is really stupid because we lost the draft multiple years in a row. We needed to keep making trades, looking for talent, and trying to get THE GUY to build around. Building teams with just a bunch of random ok players never works. EVER.

Never understood why teams just don't keep going under screens when James is handling the ball.

Sure, let's put a gun to top level talent and force them to join this awful situation :lol:

Absolutely
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.

Return to Orlando Magic
