This one got away pretty quickly. That part is frustrating not so much the loss. Tip the cap to them they scorched us.

Well I underestimated the Nets. Big, tough, physical and active...and a lot more organized. Magic are aggressive but sloppy. Bad passes, easy misses, etc. We'll be .500 or slightly over but can't see them doing much more.

We are not asking for him to save this team, we’re asking for him to get reps and experiences so that he can make these shots when it matters. He might not be good defensively but at least let a shooter on the court to do the one thing this team cannot do.

Veteran team, tall perimeter players. Shot blockers inside. Lots of 3s.

Give it another 10 mins and we may be down 40

We all know the moment the game was lost.

He "plays point guard" in name only though.

Right now, he doesn't do anything a traditional point guard does. He does virtually no initiation of the plays or creating any sort of shot for himself or for others off the bounce.

He is basically a vulture on offense right now who only scores on cuts, putbacks, transition, catch-and-shoot from the corners, etc.

The Magic BADLY need someone who can actually create offense out of the backcourt.

They can't survive having Paolo and Franz doing all the playmaking. Those guys should do SOME playmaking, but really they should be doing just as much play finishing, but they have no one to set them up.

Hush now. You spent all offseason calling him a PG and using that as justification to get Fultz off the team. He just doesn’t play PG in whatever strange way you seem to think point is played.

Paolo and Franz need to be able to dominate a game between them consistently. Bringing in someone else to take the load off them would mean they’re not franchise player caliber and it’s too early for that distinction.

33-6-15 with 0 turnovers for Haliburton tonight after going 25-1-17 with no turnovers the previous game.. I would sell my left nut..

Can we start the dunce cap thread for Cole?

This one is for the film room. I'm not sure any of them understand how this game got away. Every now and then some Bum like Spencer Dinwiddie is going to get hot and chuck garbage that goes in. I think the overarching message this first half of the season is going to be knowing when to tone back the aggression. Like when does the aggression and chaos become too much to control? I think that's why they lost tonight.. they have got to learn how to pick their spots as a team.

Let AB shoot the 3s. Jett can’t hit anything.

Moseley is a **** idiot… You may not win the game but allowing the lead to blow up and not keep it shows a complete lack of understanding of the in-season tournament… He has essentially taken them completely out of any opportunity….

A blow out, well deserved

These 4th quarter 3s from the opposing team has got to stop. Something on this team has got to change.

He's still a theoretical shooter. A curiosity, not a stopgap. I see requests for him to play when we're sucking as a way to get back in the game, but without any regard to if he can actually do secondary stuff if he's not hitting shots.. which is why Ingles will play over him.

If we had any open slot with easy minutes for him, of course I'd like to see him.
