Coming off a big win, playing a team missing its star players?

These are the types of games this team loves to lose

People have said they lucked out with the opponents in the playoffs last year. I still see the same laziness with this team. Something just doesn’t look right with this team. I am disgusted .

Yeah 6 for 28 now does that look? Their 3 point this year has been off as well.

Suggs is going to need Dr Leonard really soon. He’s like 21 too

Magic are winning because they are playing 3 times harder than the Celtics. Celtics are complacent as always.

Still shouldn’t get out worked by a magic team that’s missing their best two players. Can you say outhustled and the magic wanting it more?

Goga likely flagrant for the throat hold. Techs on Suggs and KP.

Worst loss of the season by far, even without Tatum

Yes.

I meant from a technical standpoint. Magic took away our main weapon and we had no answer. We are lax on defense starting in the 3rd Q, yes.

One thing that jumps out to me is that Hauser played 16 minutes and didn't put up a single shot. That can't happen, especially without Tatum in the lineup.

You've got to put together some sets designed to let him get a couple shots up. As much as his defense has improved, you can't have him out there and not taking shots, that's malpractice. Maybe it's his back, but still.

Magic has an 18-pt advantage from 3. Up 9.
