Calm down everyone.

The Clipps caught fire tonight. The Magic do need to improve offensively.

Lots of highs and lows in an NBA Season. Thursday is a new day and another game.

One thing I would like Mose to do is swap Ingles and Houstan. Just give it a shot.

That being said, most of us thought Ingles would add SOME shooting to this team.. not whatever the **** he's doing.

Over. We played a legit contender....on their turf...on a back to back. No one ever claimed we were contenders. At max we are a little over .500.

That said, if we lose to Utah, we're winning 12 games max.

The missed FTs are a massive issue. That needs to be resolved because "free" points are a necessity for this offense. Right now we have three players on our starting lineup who are afraid to shoot.

We also need to do a better job pushing the pace offensively. We should always try to run when we get the rebound. Frustrating game but you could see it coming when gave up our 9 point lead in the 2nd quarter.

Gotta hope to salvage this road trip in Utah.

Teams also did not do themselfs any favors back in early 2000s with main offensive sets being elbow isolation for mid range fadeaways, no floor spacing and defenses that could simply pack paint with 5 players standing inside 12 feet from rim.

NBA back in those days looked execlly how kids basketball looks like. One kid throws hail maries while others yell "I'm open"

The sagging off of Paolo isn’t going away. He hasn’t shown thus far he’s able to adjust. We’ll see.
