I get what you're saying, but look...

This team has been awful offensively the entire time he's been here. Some of it is roster construction, but even you would admit there's zero tactile acumen offensively to speak of with this staff.

The whole selling point with Mosley has been defense, effort, culture. And none of that is happening. So what is he offering if those things aren't there?


Would we be saying the same thing if our team did the opposite and struggled when our injuries hit and played better once guys tried to work their way back? Either way, look at all the injuries, the roster makeup, etc, this team was destined to be near .500 or below it this year. People got an inflated sense of hope with our inspired play with injuries. You don't go from legit top 3 COY to fired in a year and it solely being suddenly the guy forgets how to coach - it's such copout finger pointing BS that this team would do while firing yet another coach while having a bottom 10 offense for a decade straight no matter who the coach is.

We know Weltman won't get fired. If they go together and Mose had SAY in the team not making moves? Sure, get rid of them both. But expecting to make chicken salad out of chicken **** and then solely pointing at one person that has had only praised heaped his way for the last 2 and a half season is BS. You know that.


Of course you can. Dwayne Casey won coach of the year in 2018 and got fired the same off season, and the raptors went on to win the title the very next year. I'm not saying Mosely should be fired, everything has been a dumpster fire from top to bottom but it really doesn't matter he has been top 3 in coy. If he needs to go he needs to go.

Listen, hate on Mose all you want. At some point the players just have to hit some open shots. And the players just suck at it.

Good job coming back, Magic. I'll let Wagner have that tip in shot any day. Today just wasn't the day!

Cole and Black combined shoot 4/17 with 3 combined assists and 4 combined turnovers.

Sweet.

Was the Franz miss a choke miss or a tough shot?

When you come all the way back like that, you have to finish it off. Teams pretty much always do. Not us I guess, but other teams.
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.

That was heartbreaking.

They played with urgency towards the end but oh my goodness, they never should have been down this much to begin with.

They have got to start hitting more open shots to open up this offense.

Paolo, Franz, Suggs, and Mo. You keep them and make everything else, including future picks, available to improve the team with legit difference makers.

I’d fire Weltman at the end of the season and give Mose one year under the new FO for evaluation.

That Anthony black sequence pretty much ended the game.... But we still had a shot at it, knowing Franz this is going to haunt him for a minute

It was an uncontested layup.

I think Franz expected there to be more of a contest and he just put it up off the glass too hard.

I would fire Mosley as well. There's no need to have a new GM inherit a coach. Let the GM bring on his own coach.
