I push back on this significantly. The Magic hunt mismatches ALL THE TIME. Especially late games.

They just do it very slowly with Paolo or Franz and neither one of them is as close to as good as Maxey is in isolation.

3 players beat us tonight.

This offense is so hard to watch and the defense has disappeared

What a dreadful start to the season

Our inability to shoot 3s continue. Oh well, onto the next. Have a good night Magic fans. Don’t let this loss upset you tomorrow.

Sadly, there is no benefit to tanking.

Someone tell ICE Jeff Weltman’s name is Jefe Jorge Blanco and maybe they’ll deport him

We played well for 3 minutes during this 4th. Other than that it was a "let's outrun them and outscore them" prayer.
With that mentality we'll be a completely dismantled team by December, looking at trading in despair and a lottery ahead.

Something needs to give.

95% really? This is a team loss. We just couldn’t stop them. We would be winless if not for WCJr

he played terrible for 80% of those minutes. But yes, he had an amazing 3-5 minute stretch in the 4th quarter of that win.

Suggs was running in circles looking for an open man except the one he was supposed to be on. A rare moment he made me furious.

Defense will fall to near the bottom of the league after this one. Congratulations I guess.
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.

Yep saw it this 2nd half. Too late this game though.


There has to be a middleground... but yes this team isn't built to play super fast.

Fast... but not a crazy pace.

They just need to be more efficient in the half court

He can only blame himself with that sequence of fouls during the third.

Suggs has not played well defensively tonight at all.

Most nights it's controlled chaos, but tonight has absolutely not been one of those nights. It's been just out of control.

Wendell had a 54 TS% last year and worse so far this year. Not easy to do as a center.
