That on ball pressure

Have to do better at anticipating having to make the shot instead of getting a foul call.

Crazy the difference between the hawks with Jalen Johnson (who would be our second best player) and Capela (who would be our best big) out compared to Celtics

Holiday/White/Pritchard: 42pts
Joseph/KCP/Black/Cole: 13pts

Kind of hard when your offensive creativity and sets are this bad. Literally nothing has been easy, and Paolo is demanding tons of attention.

We simply have a disaster of an offense. I personally hope we let go of Mosley, this is third year of a bottom 2 offense with one consistency. Mosley.

Riding Paolo and Franz in isolation really is getting old.

Nothing that new the guard positions need work. It would be better with Suggs but still need more.

Isn’t he the only one to score this quarter not named Paolo or Franz? At least he’s bringing defense and making an open shot. Harris doesn’t give anything more than that.

We need AB's defense

He was the only player to score outside of Paolo and Franz until the final minute of that quarter. So it was only 3 on 5 with him out there cos the other two weren’t doing jack.

We get into the playoffs, and Mosely stopped using the rotations that worked.

Jrue was all star at age of 22.

Outscored 30-16 in the 3rd. Just grotesque.

If we can't get to the line we have no shot, as good as our D has been we need to score quite a few FTs to have at least a decent offense. But when nobody can create anything outaide of Paolo and Franz it's very hard earning FTs against a disciplined and very experienced team full of really good defenders.

2 points from dell tonight.......6 points from "playoff KCP".....0 from Cory Joseph.....i mean.....these are our starters

I said it during the off-season and I'll say it again. The Magic front office did absolutely nothing to solve any of our weaknesses that were exposed in the playoffs last year. Not one move to fix what was wrong.

MasterGMer · Post #415 » by **MasterGMer** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 9:27 pm

Third Q is full of bad turnovers and bad shots. We shouldn't be hunting for 3s and we should be doing what we do the best, making plays at the basket and mid ranges.

BTW we went to the free throw line only 5 times. While Boston went there 13 for 16

If the Magic had rotations that worked consistently, they wouldn't have 41 wins.

Bingo…..

Derrick Henry with the Titans all over again lol.

200 rushing yards put the QB/(Invisible Point Guard) can’t get the job done.

Crazy that the FO knew we needed a lead guard and did absolutely nothing at the deadline

The classic dreadful 3rd quarter does the magic in again. A lot of you may not know the but the magic have been a horrific 3rd quarter team all season.

He's got a game low -15, stop it. Get some help.

They won like 12 of 16 with the rotations.
