2023-2024 Regular Season Game 77: Orlando Magic (45-31) at Charlotte Hornets (18-58) - 7pm

I am not convinced that Franz can be our 2nd option.

I wasn't until the beginning of this season, then the shot struggles continued and I went back to believing 3rd option is the proper place for his career trajectory

[VFX]

Low IQ play though. Why is Suggs pushing through the screen there when literally the only thing that can happen is that basically?

Didn’t ask

My guess, and this is just a guess, had that been Fultz or Carter who committed that foul and not Suggs, you'd have had a decidedly different reaction

My guess. Didn’t ask.

yeah, this is a loss. JI's presence is huge

The whole team is just playing horrible defense...

for sure but the starters usually suck to start the game... then JI's defense (plus Mo's offense) rights the ship. Hell, Mo is unplayable without JI so losing him means losing Mo as well.

JI gives us a massive lift defensively no doubt. But their Defense with/without him is typically good. This is one of those game where it's just not there.

I'm still confused why we didn't bother to play Goga or AB in this game with the bad defense.

Char is making everything

[Knightro]

Fultz's scoring is overshadowing how awful he's been defensively.

He's not the only one, but he's been particularly bad.

Down **** 15, again!!!

Franz shouldn’t be paid whatever we thought he was

[JF5]

That's disheartening...

Get the deficit below 10 by the end of the third and I'll have hope

We've done that twice now and then allowed the Hornet to go on a run and balloon it back to 15. No honestly, we need to tie them going into the 4th otherwise it's just going to continue like it has.

Well, I think that will do it

[Knightro]

That wild ass 3PT attempt by Cole was so friggin bad. Charlotte botched the screen defense and he could have dribbled into an uncontested floater or short jumper.

Just low IQ stuff. Ends up being an easy 4 point swing.

Unfortunately the Magic don’t seem very interested tonight.

I am guessing they need the points as well.

That's been the pattern this whole game. Orlando can't get stops.

[RookieStar]

Well... of all the games to lose lol

[Knightro]

This Franz slander is unacceptable. Some of y'all need to check yourselves

[SloNick Russia]

This disaster game could result in a play-in with our ramaining schedule

Magic playing with urgency challenge = failure

[VFX]

This team is unserious.

Getting blown out by this scrub Hornets team and barely winning to Portland. I’m setting my expectations super low now.

I’m kinda hoping this Magic team gets their ass kicked in the playoffs. Probably for the best.

But we're not getting points from anyone but Paolo.
