2024-2025 Regular Season Game 61: Golden State Warriors (31-27) at Orlando Magic (29-31) - 7pm

Anyone watching Bucks vs Nuggets

After raving about how well Christian Braun has played Reggie Miller said “I like what Mike Malone says.. don’t be KCP be Christian Braun”

We got sold a lemon

i don't think that's what he meant when he said that but it doesn't negate the fact that KCP is indeed a lemon

It wasn’t exactly what he meant.. just funny with how tonight went.. but it’s an interesting point.

Jokic or LeBron will make almost any NBA caliber guard look good. The Lakers and Nuggets find Reaves and Braun late in the draft.. meanwhile we sign the guy they are replacing for 22 mill a year

insane to think about....22 million a year.....definitely not worth it

The guys he depends on for that energy don't play and nobody has stepped up into those energy roles. We have a bunch of sulking bigs, raw kids and **** veterans left to pick up the slack while Franz and Paolo are still figuring out how to be consistent stars.

If two guys being injured can submarine the entire energy concept this significantly... that's a major problem, right?

With 2 days off, I bet Suggs is back in the next game

Suggs please come back soon and help us avoid the lottery

Why? We need the lottery.

Better off shutting Suggs down for the year

I think it is a combo of that and Mosley not being able to re energize and focus the locker room without them. Plus all these results, just snowballs.

I don't think so. I doubt we'll see him in the regular season.

Magic didn't play a bad game tonight, except the 3rd Q. We went on missing shots 5 or 6 times in a row while Steph went on fire. That was it. After that stretch, we were down by 10. The Non Steph minutes didn't turn out to be good to us either when Post got his buckets. That was it the game and we were trying to come back in the 4th Q, but it was just too late.

Magic shot more than 50% on the floor and 39% from 3. We didn't necessarily played a bad game. Just bad stretch and missing buckets killed the game.

If we play like this consistently for games, we win most of them at the end. Just not tonight.

I don’t want to go into the offseason thinking Paolo and Franz couldn’t get us into the playoffs.

I thought when Mo went out that we needed to replace his offense off the bench.

Suggs shoots 12 3s per 100 possessions, and that hasn'tbeenreplaced. Paolo and Suggs play well off each other. Suggs 3-pt percentage fell off when Paolo got injured.

But they cant by themselves. They are by themselves.

this.

Paolo and Franz combine for 68 points tonight and shot a decent %.

Thats not even considering how inconsistent they are game to game. There isn't a system on offense. Its attacking the rim every play.

The talent isn't on this team necessary to maintain anything substantial yet. It wasn't constructed at any point in this rebuild. Signing KCP cannot be the extent of your "build". Mosely doesnt have a lot to work with, but I also dont think his system is evident on offense.

Hard to sell our fans on coming out to games when we struggle to score 100 pts a game

We're stuck in 2005 while every other team is in 2025

We can't avoid or miss the playin now with the way Bulls and 76s play

If the play-in started today, we'd serve home court against the Bulls.

We win that game and face Boston.

So there's that.

[KillMonger]

18 turnovers

I hope it wasn't our fans chanting MVP for Curry.

that is the worst part of it. In the west, we'd be looking at lotto range players already.
