It’s like this team is stuck in a loop and can’t see their way out. They think the only way to catch up to a team is shoot 3s, which they can’t. They have no creativity. Every good team have figured us out. And it will not change until Orlando learn to shoot or make a change to get someone who can shoot.

The issue is twofold - Mo Wagner sucks without Ingles and Isaac most of the time and WCJ clearly isn't healthy.

I’d like someone to ask Mose:
“If Goga is the best option to close games in the 4th, why doesn’t he play until late in the 2nd quarter?”

This was a 3 point game with 09:37 to go.

Since then 26-6 in favor of the Sixers.

Must be nice to have a team that's able to shoot.

Same problem rearing it's head again, the shooting problem has to be addressed soon...

He probably wanted more "shooting" but he couldn't really get many good looks when he was out there because paolo and franz were dribbling the air out of the ball.

What the hell is wrong with WCJ? He was out with a broken hand and he's playing like he was suffering from a completely different injury.

Hard to win a game when you score 6 points in a 9 minute stretch of the 4th :lol:

Classic case of a team playing like absolute garbage when the opposing team's MVP-level player sits. Maybe we were always going to be garbage tonight regardless, but it rubs me the wrong way that we've done this twice now and blown two important opportunities against Miami and now Philly. These guys need a reality check if they think they're good enough to cruise against anybody. If this team wins a game, it's because they were focused and played well in at least most of their key areas.

The East is close. I hate to say it guys I see us dropping possibly down to 7th/8th easily, especially with January's schedule.

Bro... Houstan 40% from 3 Suggs 37% from 3 and Banchero 38% from 3.

Game ended at that point when we for some dumb reason doubled Reed for a wide open Harris 3.

I mean you need somebody who has at least a remote chance of putting it in the basket

When you don't make threes, it just eliminates the margin for error completely.

The defense has to be great. The rebounding has to be great. The turnovers have to be low. The free throw attempts have to be high.

So many things need to go right when a team doesn't have that ability to equalize with the 3PT shot.

Can we just play the Wizards defense every night
