They would adamantly disagree with you.

Weltman is overwhelmingly pleased with the progress and how "ahead of schedule" the Magic are.


AND i would have to agree with them. Lol

I think 2 playoff home games to earn the extra profit is something in their wildest dreams.

I think not taking a shortcut to win a PO series this early with our young guys is their mindset.

Trade pick, Cole, AB, and Jett for Trae.

AB should have been getting consistent minutes going into the playoffs... treating Fultz like some amazing vet that deserved minutes was a fumble by Mosley.

Hopefully media just craps on us.

The FO needs to be put on notice after this.

His 0 shots really remedied that!

I'm actually legit shocked at the Goga/AB stuff going on with our fanbase, Twitter turning on Mose. Reddit in shambles.

At least my Elfrid love was because he had an all-rookie 2nd team and THEN sucked.

In Mosely’s defense…look at this roster. It’s pretty miraculous he got this record out of this group.

There really isn’t anyone he can put in to help this situation out. When the front office’s big answer is Joe Ingles, that rotation tightens up pretty quickly.

The person I’m most disappointed in is Carter. He has gone from a promising prospect to bench player to completely unreliable.

The bad shooting I was prepared for, the bad coaching and rebounding have been more disappointing. Can't believe I thought we had a chance tonight.


Yes... getting whopped would force them to make major moves rather than run it back because family

Also... not me, the only chance i know of winning a game is game 3 when adrenaline is through the roof

Putting shooters into a game where you... can't shoot? :lol:

I like Caleb. I have been begging that he gets more minutes throughout the season so that he can get into a rhythm but he had games where he literally wouldn't shoot. Someone need to pull him aside and tell him to increase his volume.


Wait minute we're complaining for a different look. We get a different look... now we're saying this probably won't work.

What would be do different with Goga and Black if you believe that with Houstan?

Low key, I’m kind of glad this is happening on a national stage. It would be pretty irredeemable to not address our lack of shooting, and overall guard play in the offseason. I was a little concerned that the front office would sit on their hands if we were actually decent in this series.

I need to understand logic of putting starters back into a game that’s clearly over

People, you do understand that Fultz played only 6 minutes in the game, while Suggs was out?

You're confused why people want Goga and AB to play instead of Fultz, Cole and WCJ?

They are young in their first playoff series. I remember in his first playoff series Giannis averaged 11 points on 37% shooting.

I can't wait to see these Cavs fans' faces when Boston sweeps them

Return to Orlando Magic
