Playing 4 starters around 30 mins is still playing with fire each game. Every game is a gamble.

Why can't Masai just shut down a few key guys to secure the loss. Look at the Tampa season, holding out a healthy Lowry - that was real tanking, this is half measures

Turns out Banchero and Franz are second options.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

Him and Mogbo are tank commanders, just make dumb plays after dumb plays, at least Walter has promise but Mogbo even as a rookie is a lost cause

That team sucks just don't have any defensive identity aside from Suggs and Isaac. Wagner and Banchero are pylons that can't stop anyone.

Orlando is freakin terrible. Almost your full team can’t even beat a lotto bound.

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Raps tried so hard, but the Magic refused to win.
