I’ve always been staunchly and to an extent stubbornly anti-tank but nights like this make me wonder what two good lottery picks and an aggressive free agency could do for this team.

Could turn things around extremely fast.

Some absolute brain dead coaching in the 2nd half from Coach Mose

3pt shooting that is all.

Yup. Some Hogwarts is needed to take my mind off this

Is Hogwarts worth the purchase?

I really like it and would recommend it

The Magic got pussyfied by Myles Turner tonight. Once he got some blocks the Magic just gave up.

Didn't realize you were a gamer, very nice.

Haven't bought Hogwarts yet. Planning on it though. Working on Crisis Core Reunion at the moment.

This unfortunately has been on my mind as well.

I want to say the same but can't think of the argument

This one hurts the Play-In chances for sure and The Magic were clearly outplayed tonight in the 2nd half.

I mean isn't Toronto, Washington, Chicago suppose to be better then us. is that even really a question. They all have veterans teams and all stars. It's actually quite pathetic that they are some what in the same ball park as us.

Indiana has been a surprise but even they have veterans in there rotation getting big minutes compared to the magic.

This loss is disappointing. Really lowers my expectations but makes me feel much better about our draft odds. We need these losses to remind us how far the build still has to go. Blow up the backcourt.

I don't disagree with that notion but they are clearly better than us today. Let's see next year.

I was all for winning but now I say let’s tank ! This game pretty much guaranteed we are not making the play in .
We need to upgrade point guard !!!!

And SG. Entire guard rotation needs a major upgrade.

This team is too flawed to be a play-in team IMO but it's okay. Still want the team to play hard and usually they do that with the exception of this 2nd half. Didn't like the body language of the team. Defense was an absolute mess.

Our starting C and starting PG are not on this roster yet.

Was this as painful for you guys to watch on tv as it was for me to watch live?

That was a great game last night between those two squads.

Yeah, the current Magic squad would've gotten blown off the planet so bad. It goes to show where this team is versus the playoff contender teams. The Magic have more ways to go before they can enter into the conversation of contendership.

Don't look now but the Hornets have won 4 in a row. Highly unlikely that they catch us but there is a chance.

Harris is not it at SG. Decent player but we need an upgrade.
