No excuses, just a bad night. Magic didn't play well and the Celtics did. We had beaten them what, four times in a row dating back to last year. They're too good to continue losing to us forever. I don't take anything from this game. We played poorly and ran into a buzzsaw against a very good team on the road. The end. On to the next one.
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.

Eh Celtics are an elite team. They were due to beat our behinds sooner or later. I expect a better performance on Sunday

I would prefer if Fultz never played another game for the Magic frankly.

And obviously I feel the opposite way you do.

The Magic have succeeded with Paolo and Franz on the ball, great defense and the bench dominating.

None of those three things happened and we're calling for Fultz? Screw that.

Boston is the most boring team to watch. Seriously. Same **** over and over.


Agreed but it's effective for them. Stop cheating on the rotations and just play sound defense. A large portion of their looks are wide open.

I hope they get tossed in the playoffs and enjoy sweet 300M Brown contract reality next season

Knightro wrote:The Magic have played so well without Fultz and Carter that I just think it's very disingenuous to say "oh well the Magic are missing two starters too!" as an excuse when they don't play well and get blown out.

It just can't really be both. They either need those guys or they don't need those guys.


That’s fair.

I think it’s fair to also say that we’re playing below capacity, and without depth who are arguably starting calibre.

Imagine if we had WCJ off the bench for this game instead of Moe Wagner?

A bunch of our players need to snap out of it, there’s too much slumping. Loser momentum cascades, missed threes to missed FTs to missed layups to frustration and missed defense. Franz, Cole, Harris, Mo, I can go on. Stop with the loser ****.

On their second night of a back to back, we shouldn’t be this bad.

When WCJ comes back I would legit relegate Moe to 3rd stringer.

WCJ/Goga
Paolo/Isaac

Moe can play when Isaac rests or there are specific matchups he can feast on.
