Can't believe we're #5 now. Gotta stay the course.

Listen. Don't want to hear any complaints. We may have lost this game but we didn't have RJ Barrett and we really could have used Mogbo tonight. IQ was rusty. You might say that the Magic were without Banchero, Franz, Black, Mo Wagner, Gary Harris and Suggs was out half the game BUT often the most injured teams are the most dangerous. To be honest we probably underestimated them and the Magic took advantage. Fact is we need to see this team completely healthy for about 2 years before we really know what we have here.

I've seen enough. Fire Masai and hand the team over to Boogie!

That torrid 1-game winning streak had people saying “play-in” lol.

Embrace the tank because we desperately need to add talent.

Need to trade Yak before its too late. Get some draft capital and call it a season this team is a dumpster fire that desperately needs assets.

The Tank Still Lives.

Finally someone speaking the truth. We also were coming off the high of a W after 11 straight losses, totally normal to see a let down after that.

Last night lots of chest thumping from team compete. Sadly it was a dead cat bounce.

Embarrassing loss but we get a few more balls.

I have embraced the tank all year, but we cant risk winning another game. Everyone must go!

Considering that we're we essentially at full strength minus RJ this loss was bad, especially with Orlando not only down their two best scorers but losing Suggs in the second quarter.

Oh well the tank rolls on

On pace for 19 win season.

Guys remember when at the beginning of last year we wanted to tank and get a top pick this year?

You do remember?

So why the heck do we have so many sarcastic comments and doom and gloom posts? Why do people keep spamming the same ****?

I knew you guys couldn’t take it lol.

Embrace the pain, and pray the lottery balls or antiCanada NBA sentiments don’t get us a worse pick :thumbsup:

I give IQ a bit more time with his rust but everyone else got to do better in terms defending/rebounding. Unacceptable still with the turnovers.

The one concerning thing about this season is how much we look out-coached nowadays against every team. I really don’t care as much about the player stuff as it’s clear we’re trying to expand everyone’s offensive game, and it’s working somewhat

Tanking season and all, but I have to admit I thought we were a lot further in this rebuild than is currently apparent. Each game, it seems more and more that Barnes is not a franchise player. The stat sheet look great most nights though.

Some people don't know pain. They didn't have to sit through the seasons where half our roster were 10 day contract guys :lol:
