When our defense isn’t going it affects the offense. They really need to fix that.

I get that emotions are hard to contain in the moment, get your takes off, but as Matic says.. be prepared to defend those when you don't actually mean it :lol:

Because that's what you are supposed to do in today's NBA. Unfortunately Weltman forgot to get players who can MAKE 3s.

I sincerely think we should tank for Flagg after this game

No. This is the 3rd quarter. Not yet.

I’m saving a lot of them for later this season. :wink:

I can blame Mosley for a few things here and there tonight but he's not out there bricking open shots and playing terrible defense in the paint.

I am so disappointed by so many of these players. Many of them have played terribly but these are my biggest disappointments:
1. WCJ... he is supposed to be the starter and looks like a 3rd stringer filling in for Goga ironically.
2. JI... he needs to lose the weight. The center experiment has failed. He cannot fill even Goga's shoes as a center.
3. TDS... He does't look like a guy that would be playing on a contender. He's 23 so there isn't much room for growth.
4. Weltman... Can he get a guard that is a legit scorer?

Lets be honest this regular season game matters more than others and the performance is so disheartening. You lose fine but lose like this is just unexplainable.

Magic fans don't deserve a good team. You can be disappointed and not lose your minds over it.

This is different to any other loss. Consider it an elimination game where all they had to do was not lose by more then 30 points - and they’ve managed to do exactly that.

Magic don’t deserve to win anything good if they can’t handle the task of not losing by more than 30 points. Weak AF effort from them.

That's not what I'm saying though.

But if people want to overreact about all of our players or coaches and want them gone, they can watch another team. Not my fault if people can't handle losses, no matter how bad they are.

If my team has played well/competitive for 13 out of 14 games, I am not going to say "they don't deserve anything good".

Still losing in such fashion should not be tolerated.
I dont think this is on Mosely, but some players should be held accountable.
The supposed great defender and fan favourite JI for starters is like bambi out there and then Black has had at least 2 shaqtin a fool moments in under 10 minutes.

We’ve got them right where we want them.

Even if we did get the wild card, wouldn't we just be playing the Knicks again? Just imagine getting to watch this loss a second time.

Funny thing if we lose and make it into the cup, I think we play the Knicks again.

The guy took a team that lost Banchero for an extended period and after a 2-3 game cry session, rattled off an incredible streak of great play.

This team is still dreadful from 3 and we’re getting nothing - nada - nil - from Cold, Gary and Jett. WCJ is oft-injured and of questionable value when healthy. Despite a few good games of late, KCP has been the basketball equivalent of an onion ring fart. Yet here we are, 15-8. I think Mosely has been exceptional.

Exactly. I mean there are things Mose could do better, to mitigate the onslaught, but the options are like.. play Cory Joseph? Lmao I'm legit trying to think of what would've stopped this. Play KCP more on the front end of a back to back?

It's just a bad matchup for us. 5 out offense that is #1 offense in the league, against a team that lost their best interior defender currently.. means if they hit threes AND layups.. we get this.

Or they would be so mad that they would actually step up this time.

They are shooting 52 percent from 3. 55 percent from the floor. They just hit. Just one of those nights

Their starting line-up is basically an allstar team. I am not sure we beat them once in 10 attempts.
