Looks for his own too much when we're in a hole though.. but how about let's not get in 15-20 point holes from the beginning.

Our backup defense is a joke when Isaac isn't there. Relying on Moe Wagner and 50 year old Ingles and Cole who is too small to bother anyone.. eesh.

Yeah, the Cole slander is kinda ridiculous. Dude has played well given his role.

Guards who the 3 at 40% or over.

Shamet
Melton
Harden Unavailable
Coby White
Hield
D'lo
Booker Unavailable
Reg. Jackson
Dort Probably Unavailable
Pope
Gordon
Vassell
Herro
Conley
Divencenzo
Monk

That's it.

Who is the knock shooter the team actually wants? Caruso? Do they have enough to trade for Tyler Herro? Mike Conley?

I'm not seeing this shooter you guys are asking for.

I would agree if any team is biting right now (Tyus?), we need another weapon in the starting lineup as bad as we need health.

Yessssss

I'm a Caruso fan. I'd also take 37+% on high volume.

Didnt get to watch this one. I just hope Suggs is alright

We're still giving up over 120 ppg when Isaac doesn't play. I think we're 2-4 when he doesn't play and 12-3 with him.

BTW Tyus Jones is shooting 35% from 3... Cole, Jalen, and Gary all shoot the 3 better than Tyus Jones.

In supremely worried about this team currently. Injuries piling up and entering our toughest part of the schedule, while our defense has slipped quite a bit. It's a recipe for disaster. Idk how this is gonna go but I don't feel good.

He’s not perfect but I keep bringing him up because it shouldn’t cost much to get him and he can actually run an offense.

We better hope he can stay healthy or try our hardest to find a similar defensive force because he is a HUGE part of what makes this team go.

You didn't feel good when we were in our 9 game winning streak though so :lol:

But yeah, injuries are hard to battle against. We're deep but we're getting tested here

It was all good just a week ago, lol.

I think the win streak was a good and bad thing. It was good in that it showed how good this team could be and it showed the best way for this team to win games which is to have the ball in the hands of Franz and Paolo.

However, I feel like this streak also gave fans this false idea that this team was good as is and no further improvements were needed. And I feel like it also gave fans this false idea that the reason why the Magic were winning was because certain players weren’t playing and certain players were playing which is not necessarily the case. The reason the Magic were winning was a number of things; primarily good defense, good bench play, and the improvement of Paolo.
