Mitchell is 6-16 so it's not like he's had a cakewalk. It's his passing that has killed us.

This reminds me of the Brooklyn game on the b2b.

We don't have shooters and don't generate open 3's... and we've been undisciplined on defense tonight... and the TOs...

Lol sure Mosely game plan is the problem. His clipboard must read: let cleveland dunk and shoot wide open 3's. We will win if we do these things.

Absolutely is… Can tell you the post game conference, “We play hard and fight for each other and….” So over him not holding his players publicly accountable… I’d love to have a boss that lets me do whatever the **** I want…

of course ur troll ass wasn't here last game

Not a troll brother, call it as I see it, can assure you I’m as dedicated a fan as anyone here.. Just tired of this franchise always being about character and rainbows/butterflies—get a Draymond or Pat Beverly that will at least hold their teammates accountable… The constant inconsistency of this team tells me that the behind the door accountability isn’t there either….

Merill is better at 3's than Orlando is at free throws

Paolo for Merrill who says no

We need shooters in the worst way.

Paolo loses ball just passing half court. They kick it to Meriil for a 3.

Yeah that’s why you need a point guard.

We don’t but that doesn’t mean that you give up and let guys have uncontested buckets and rebounds. We still have a losers mentality.

I agree wholeheartedly.

No the math isn't in the Magic's favor, but they've also KILLED themselves on the margins tonight again.

8 missed free throws
13 turnovers
8 offensive rebounds allowed

It's extremely hard to win when you get more than doubled up from the 3PT line, but if you do face a huge math disadvantage, you have to dominate the margins and the Magic simply don't almost any night.

You reckon this might prod Weltman into action regarding getting shooting?? If it doesn’t I want a new FO

They just went on an 8-0 run. We had it down to 21.

Donovan Mitchell, a big, and 3 shooters.

I just wanted to quote myself...I was wrong about the first 6 minutes. They did it in a little less than 10 minutes but I think I got my point across.

I don't understand. Granted, I'm no where near NBA size and athletic ability. But Magic players are. Just stay close enough to not let them shoot. Make shooters drive. They don't want to drive. Thats how you make them struggle.

The sad thing is, Isaac on Merrill may have made this at least a attainable comeback

This is terrible think I’m pulling the plug

Too bad Isaac doesn’t play basketball.
