Orlando is on a 4-23 streak 

Post#1 » by The_Hater » Sat Jan 6, 2018 9:05 pm

And they traded Dipo one season before he blew up into the star player they needed.

Worst team in the NBA right now?

Let’s just hope their next lottery pick is going to be more impactful than the previous 10.

It must be tough being a magic fan

They have had Shaq, Penny, TMac, and a prime Dwight Howard. Can’t feel too sad for them.

They haven’t had their top 3 guys for almost all of those games so I don’t think it’s indicative of where they are as a franchise, but that is still pretty embarrassing. A G-league team should be able to at least win 4/27 games

I haven't seen any Magic games since the Celtics last played them. Are they tanking or are they just that bad? I know they lost Nikola Vučević but weren't they bad even before that injury?

People need to stop with the Victor thing. He was nothing special while with the Magic, Nobody expected Victor to play this well and there is no telling he would be playing like this if he was still in Orlando.

But the Magic are terrible, lol.

They are the worst run team with the worst culture. Only the Suns can match their incompetence.

They are a wasteland where talented lottery picks go to die because this kind of crap is tolerated:

They have made terrible decision after terrible decision.

People were fooled by the unfeasibly hot start. But ultimately they simply continue to piece together terrible fitting rosters of players and draft/sign limited players who flatter to decieve.

Terrence Ross going down was the end of their playoff hopes. He wasn’t shooting that well but was one of their best defenders.

We half assed a tank and this is what we get. We brought our young guys along slowly as role players behind luminaries such as Jeff Green, Ben Gordon, and CJ Watson. Blaming the lottery picks is sort of weak when you don't commit to actually building behind them, seeing as Tobias and Oladipo were viewed sort of the same way and then stagnated here because we had no plan for them.

I want Vuc traded, Fournier traded, Payton only re-signed as a backup unless his three gets way better (he's talented, just needs too much around him and there's some good guards in the draft this year), Gordon to be re-signed and Isaac to have a prominent role next year and hopefully not get injured. The rest can just leave.

Also Jonathon Simmons was a really overrated pickup. Dude is just not impactful on the floor in any advanced stats (ranked bottom 10 in entire NBA in RPM despite starting half the games), and watching him lately he just doesn't really do anything out there anymore. I can see why the Spurs didn't care if he left.

While the team isn't blowing the doors off of anybody soon, few in this thread has even noted any of the injuries(which is understandable yet disappointing). Terrence Ross, Jonathan Isaac, Evan Fournier, Aaron Gordon, Nikola Vucevic, and Elfrid Payton have all missed significant amount of time this season. When your 5 best players miss time and your top 6 pick misses a good chunk of the season and you were a so-so team to begin with it's bound to show up in the standings.

Our best player is missing for 6 weeks yet this goes untouched because no one else cares to watch our team(even the NBA advertisers barely care with us only having 1 NBATV game this season and no ESPN or TNT games)
The Greatest of All Time debate in basketball is essentially who has the greatest basketball resume of the player who has the best highlights instead of who is the best player

Damn, completely forgot about them. They’ve had a top 10 lottery pick in the last 9 drafts.

Yeah, you got me beat.

Suns are starting to Improve. 6-5 in their last 11 games. They might be finally turning the corner with their young guys. Just need a legit pg and they could be set with their core going forward. They are way ahead of the kings and lakers in the west.

Lakers incompetence is getting up there too. Bulls were before, and even including the butler trade, but they have lucked out with Dunn and Lauri, and now hopefully lavine. Thank goodness the wolves tanked for the bulls that hopefully the bulls start to try winning again next year. Win win for both teams.

Lakers, Magic, Kings, are the bottom 3 right now.

Orlando Tragic
Brian Geltzeiler: You see Mark Jackson getting a head coaching job as early as next year?

Adrian Wojnarowski: Not if people make calls on him. Not if an organization is doing their homework and knows all the things he brings with him.
