The refs were so bad that it should be investigated.

They were decent in the first half at least.

June 25th is the draft, and June 30th is free agency. June 29th, we decide on Cojo, Harris, Houstan, and Queen. Paolo extension eligible on July 1st. Club option for TDS, Jett, and Black on October 31st.

Summer league in the 7/10 - 7/20

We went through alot this season, pretty analogous to how my life has been

Lets hope we bounce back stronger, and make some personnel changes. A new PG & a young center to be next up would be preferiable. A replacement for Cole as 6th man would be nice also

The final score was not indicative of how hard the team fought. Paolo goes out and its too much to stay leveled, understandably. The team put up a fight and I appreciate that. Now on to the offseason to make significant changes to our guard rotation and add shooting. We can’t run this back.

In the post game summary Brian Hill says that the Magic must address the 3 point shooting and Dante says "yes it's something they should look at"

Good man. Maybe make a thread with an offseason calendar if you can be bothered? Would be handy.

EVERYONE knows what we need at this point. Even Weltman. He's just too afraid to make a decision that he'll have to live with if it goes sideways.

I just noticed that Jett got 2-2 three pointers in garbage time.

I would have liked to see us play some of our fringe bench guys in starter-time to see how they did.

Btw, regarding three-pointers, we're just one fixed-Wagner, a returned broken brother Wagner and a single 3&D guy (like KCP) from being huge winners.
IDK what's wrong with KCP. He should have been a slam dunk for us. Maybe he's been injured all year? I did see him concerned with his right arm a few times. Give that guy a few extra three point shots made and we'd all be absolutely loving what he brings to the table overall.

our 'shooters' are BBQ chicken on defense. They would look like the 2025 Wizards.

Never seen a ref as impactful in a game as MJ, lol. There were like 2 obviously suspicious fouls called on Paolo. For how much more we drove to the hoop in actions we should have been up 5-10 FTA's on them like it usually was this whole series iirc.
