This game is nowhere near done.

The metrics say he's been good though. Although it's still early in the season.

Man this shooting just makes it feel impossible. To be fair, I was hoping our defense would bounce back after some poor efforts against bottomfeeders, but it's still been bad.

Is it me or are the Nets just an uninteresting team? Their players are pretty good, but not great. They're not likeable, but not really unlikeable, just kind of a bland bunch of bland looking dudes. Jacque Vaughn's beard is the most interesting team on that whole team. I wonder that's why they opted or these hideous jerseys and this ugly ass court design? To make them slightly more memorable?

This bench has no defensive player... JI or Suggs needs to be in it.

Too many wide open 3s. Now they're hot.

We are missing easy looks and they are cutting us to shreds at the other end
I still believe in Magic! Welcome to the Franz & Paolo era

Okay, giving up 18 to a single player the first quarter is inexcusable.

We're missing a lot of layups and not getting back.

Look at their lineups. We don't match up with their player archetypes.

Between last night against Washington and this so far seems like teams are shooting at least 70% from 3 against us

I know our transition defense was #1 in the league at one point, but it's been pretty lethargic. Also looks like no JI tonight :(

I love Paolo but the guy plays annoyingly soft sometimes, Dude is made of stone and he doesn't impose his will near the basket enough.

WITH THAT BEING SAID he's still playing great and I'm glad he's shooting way better, but I want to see him be physical too.

Nets always play the Magic hard even when they are down to 3rd stringers starting.

BKN is outrunning us but they are also getting ticky tack fouls while we're getting hacked with no calls.
