Tough seeing the Magic get worked like this, they started out so great, the game has changed so fast...

Maybe that ESPN prediction wasn't so far off after all .... ???

Our offseason made the team worse: J-Rich can't hit the sea, and BBD is making the worse decisions ever...

Stan has to make better use of his rotations. He sits his best players way too long.

SVG always sits Dwight and Nelson too long to start second quarters. It's amazing he hasn't figured out over the years that teams almost always going on big runs when he does that. There is absolutely no reason your best player should continually sit for the first 6-7 mins of the start of a quarter - none.

Do we have to come from behind again? Maybe but the Defense has to start it all....Get it to 10 or under at half and put in work in the 3rd

Magic need to stay calm, cut into this lead and make sure it's in single digits at the half.

I'm never really critical of Stan... but he messed up there.

Not that ESPN isn't a bunch of ignorant pricks, but realistically, a blowout was not a particularly unlikely outcome tonight. If you were convinced otherwise, I commend you for your faith. A misguided faith, but commendable nonetheless.
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.

Where is the offense going to come from? Seems like we always run into this question.
