Certain players I don't like on the floor at the same time.... I don't like Bane and AB playing together.... One instance in the 4th stuck out..... Close game, bane has the ball drives in draws the defense and kicks out to.... AB... I said oh gahhhd.... Of course AB throws up some BS.... I rather that be almost anyone else getting a spray out 3

Definitely feels like it’s going to be a while before they can get things somewhat sorted out. And if they don’t then Mosely will eventually be fired because its simply unacceptable to have such an ineffective offensive system.

As sure as we know, Jett's option won't get picked up. If we don't have home court and win at least the first round, Mosely will be fired.

Good to have Robbins there to ask a tough question.

Mose speak is super obnoxious

Remember that. AB hesitated yet again and took a forced shot after hesitating. Should start calling him Hesitation Black.

Really arrogant for a guy that cant coach a good offense.

If Isaac sits out 22 more games, his salary can be reduced to $8m next season. We could also use him as a trade chip at the deadline. We could trade him for a $10m player, and that would give us enough to sign a good 15th player.

I definitely see JI getting traded

Bro.... I almost put my foot through my screen after I saw that.... This is year 3, why is he hesitant?

I don’t see him lasting past deadline.

I’ve never been so disgusted to be a Magic fan in my whole life and that is saying a lot. All that money, throwing away all of our picks and we are as bad as anyone in basketball right now. If this team doesn’t get their head out of their ass in the next few weeks then Mosley HAS to go. There is just no more excuses.

Orlando Magic, where magic happens for 136 points :rofl:

Haha, but more seriously, this was less of a frustrating game in terms of the expectations that have dropped with too many problems and this 76ers team being very strong at the season start. And after tonight, the picture is a lot more clearer, the team defense is probably 2 or 3x a bigger problem than something on the offense like poor team 3pt shooting.

For example, I found Suggs to gamble way too much defensively, I know he is really good at them given some time, and they create momentum. But he's getting bad luck with them at the moment, and with the faster pace the Magic are trying for, the failed gambling defense moments across the whole team are backfiring extra badly. I also wondered a lot about letting players like Maxey cook on drives in true 1v1's, but closing Maxey's shooting opportunities and for the rest of 76ers as well. Just completely stifling their offensive rhythm, even if at the cost of a 46 point Maxey game.

There was some good news to see our team offense getting loose a bit, outside of that 3 pt shooting again. And to see Paolo have a good game offensively, Franz as well yet again, was promising for us. I loved how Paolo scored very often in more slowed down attacks. Suggs and AB did get carried away with TOs offensively, but I do love this aggressive scoring mindset AB a lot. A scoring mindset over a point guard mindset will eventually help AB to do both better and better!

By the way, if I am Jase Richardson, I am living in the film room watching how Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe play offensively.

I see this fantasy of JI getting traded. Who is going to trade for a guy with an oversized contract that hardly plays?

Nah, he just reveals very little to reporters which is annoying since people want to hear anger or off-the-cuff speak, even if he's keeping it behind doors.

Ime Udoka on the other hand... :lol:

This is gonna snowball out of control i think but the issue is what does it really solve firing mosley? Make prunty the interim and nothing really changes? They need a whole new staff, they need a whole new ownership (we know that won't happen). I'm not even watching games only 4 games into the season. Never in my life have I done that before. Sucks so much to be a magic fan right now.

I just can't watch either. Can't sit and watch this garbage.

Mose gone, Paolo traded. My predictions by years end.

Only $8m is guaranteed next season. A team could save money trading for him.

And the thing is, I'm not really interested in copium like trying to frame this as character building, or any such nonsense in that realm. First of all, aside from Bane, we still boast more continuity than nearly any team in the NBA. And wasn't last season, and its associated struggles, character building? Nah, not interested.

I would bet my literal life savings that they fire Mosley and give a new coach an extended opportunity (aka more than half of a season) before they do literally anything with Paolo, Franz, Bane or Suggs.

This is the core group for now and if Mosley can't figure it out, then someone else will get the opportunity.
