LMAO how does this have to do with Fultz? The team can't play defense and your best player is having an atrocious game.
I don't like Fultz but he played well in the 4th, he is not to blame.

these guys talking about playoffs for the last month to give this type of effort late in the season gives me T-Mac vibes... Mister “For a guy like me, who’s been bounced from the first round of the playoffs three straight years, to finally get to experience the second round, it feels great.” then proceeds to lose the next 3 games by 20+.

The silver lining is Isaac playing a season high in minutes. They could be ramping him up to 25 mpg if we make the playoffs.

I wanted Suggs in before the 6 min mark for Moe for the extra defense, energy and scoring but bringing him when down 10 with just a shy over 3 mins to play what do you expect him to do. And he has done this so many times.Rainwater wrote:
He should have just rode it out with the bench honestly, maybe with the exception of Suggs somehow.

he played well but trading 2 for 3's when you're down isn't going to help down the stretch.

Paolo - 7-19fg 0-5 from 3. 4 turnovers.
Fultz - 8-18fg 0-2 from 3.
That’s the majority of the offense tonight. We deserved to lose.

The preparation on these road games have been extremely poor.

Fultz was awful this entire game. He had some layups but he's bad in every facet. His defense is so blatantly lazy I'm amazed he isn't pulled for that alone. It's like a non-stop string of errors with him. AND teams leave him open, clog the paint, and he isn't a great passer. If he's playing big minutes we will lose.

When the Magic cut the lead to 6 again, you need to get the substitutions in and draw up a play for a score.
Time and time again, Mosley lets the subs blow a possession or two, the lead gets back to 10, then calls timeout.
How is he not seeing this happen over and over again.

Yea tonight was a complete disaster, our game and the opponents scored. I appreciate they tried in the 4th but too far back and too much lack of execution. Just a disaster.

Of course but youre not covering the 3 point line like you should. This was just a horrible defensive game in general.

Paolo is going to need to have a MASSIVE uptick in efficiency next season.
You just can’t be a 30 USG% guy and be this far below the league average in TS% and expect to have a good team offense.
It is just not viable moving forward. Next year he has to be a lot better there or some real conversations are going to need to be had.

After Orlando played so hard this season to stay out of the playin...I believe the next 3 games will be losses (Bucks, 76ers, Bucks) and they are going to find themselves in the playin and that truly is a shame.

This game was so big. Now we have a home & home vs the Bucks and a trip to Philly.
Maybe I get my lotto pick after all.
