Weaker legs or heavier weight the problem?

Franz should have 2 assists if his teammates hit wide-open shots.

Paolo had Okongwu beat and then bailed him out. One day he's going to realize he's 250 if he plays with force

Don’t expect him back until after the all-star break. I’m sure he’d play tonight if was a playoff game.

Wendell, Cole, and Harris with Paolo. The coaching staff is brave.

I'm hard on KCP because a championship veteran should be that presence that makes few mistakes, makes open shots, etc. Instead, he's as inconsistent as a young player. Thats why that is an annoying signing

They're going back to turning it over every other possession. Fun.

Wendell just threw the ball out of bounds and got bailed out.

Weaker legs and conditioning? He seemed springier when he started the season.

I’d love to see him finish above the rim more though. The combo of a 250 pound freight train also skying over the rim would be an absolute force.

This is definitely not the worst Magic team I have watched, but it’s DEFINITELY the hardest Magic team I have watched. They are **** infuriating

Yeah KCP has underwhelmed so much it’s shocking. With him starting and Mosley giving Harris first man off the bench calls it’s feeling like a repeat of playing Fultz over AB all over again. If we’re going to accept poor performances may as well spend it investing in our youth.

Without the elite defense, they look below average out there. Worst in offense and average defense is tough to watch.
