It’s just staggering. Worst part is, it’s way down the list of failures from this front office. I just can’t belive he is making 25 million a year. He is just a corpse now. I don’t care he goes down to 15 million next year, piss him off. Been a black cloud around us ever since we drafted him

This Magic team may need some serious moves this summer. I am content with our core. But the players surrounding it is not it, period. These games exposed us like crazy. I know Jeff Weltman values continuity. But just compare us to a team like Cleveland. It is not Donovan Mitchell killed us, period. It is guys like Strus and Jerome plus Hunter that nailed the game against us.

Paolo and Franz played okay tonight. Everyone else just showed up for some cardio.


Goga hasn't been good for a while now, although has last game was pretty decent.

Disagree. He has been pretty good lately. He did have a rough stretch recently though.

1st quarter Hunter makes 3 3s in a row and game over. The Magic as a team have 5 3s….

19-31 from 3PT is really quite silly.

Dude this team has needed serious moves for 2.5 years. This is the last summer we won’t be locked into our tax’d roster.

I don’t trust the FO to even know what is needed which is sad at this point.
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

I truly think most teams run similar stuff. Nobody sees other teams doing something that works and goes "Let's do the opposite!" - he literally has forwards to work with as his ball-handlers since Cole is half SG-half PG, Suggs has loose handles, AB has aggression/handle problems at times, and we have a bunch of guys that can't even make open threes. Our two stars are also below average three point shooters and only one of them is elite inside.

Teams are smart. If I can realize this, other teams realize how easy it is to gunk up the actions of the Magic. Turning our guys into a bunch of completely different players than they are also won't work, so it's hard stuff to fix right now.

Don't worry, we have 2 1sts and a 2nd round pick to waste this summer instead of trading them for help.

I would be willing to bet if you looked through every single game this NBA season, that 5/22 is a lot more common than 19/31.

Goga hasn't been good for a while now.


Wendell hasn’t been good all season but that bum keeps getting gifted starting roles and minutes.


What other option is there? Both have been bad; Mosely has to pick between two evils and thinks that WCJ is the better option. It is a no-win situation. Besides the PG position, the Center position is the biggest issue for the magic. I don't think they have a starter.

Wasn't all that long ago that we were singing praises about how our bench was one of the best in the NBA.
I choose to believe we're just going through a funk and we'll come out of it not so long after Suggs comes back.

The FO disagrees and gave WCJ starter money less than 5 months ago...
