Game 22: Pistons @ Magic - 7 PM EST

Well, if you had a 19 game losing streak, I'd say you have a pretty good idea at least!

In the 03-04 season, we got lucky and got the #1 pick and drafted Dwight Howard. There are better days on the other side of a 19 game losing streak.

If this draft had anyone that appeared to be franchise altering, we could at least look forward to falling 4 spots in the draft and missing out on them lol. Unfortunately, even those 14% odds look like they'll land you a borderline starting NBA player at this point

Yes! Let's just hope the other 3 teams pass on the best player available when we fall to #4! Lol

Hopefully he is the right fit.

I don’t remember our percentage chance in ‘04 but I know it was low but yeah, I get what you’re saying. We had some rough years where we were the worst team or one of the worst in the NBA and kept getting 5th and 6th picks.

Anyone notice Ausar get upset that Ivey didn’t throw him the ball on the contested fast break and instead went to Burks in the corner? Puzzling to say the least when 9/10 most players kick it out to the open 3 point shooter in the corner. Sitting by Monty is rubbing off on Ausar I guess lol

[Neptune]

Another lost! Damn man!

Part of the issue with playing too many players. But that was also one of our few good offensive plays.

[Uncle Mxy]

I'd prefer Ivey or Ausar drive to the hoop over Joe Harris.

Especially when it's not "Joe Harris drives to the basket to get it to Ausar for the corner 3 miss". <facepalm>

Bally's let me in so I could watch the replay. Apparently, I like souring my mornings with... whatever this is.

[Laimbeer]

Flipped on the game and we were 15 down. In a few minutes, we were 20 down. I thought, well, I'm not helping here, and spared myself from watching the rest.

[MortSahlfan]

There's a big reason our guys are open at the 3... If we have athleticism, youth, strength, why not use it? Go to the **** basket... Make a cut! Guys without the ball are usually standing a corner. This is not basketball. It's "if we shoot 70 3's and 35% go in, we might win" nerd ****... I think Ausar's confidence is gone.

Someone mentioned this earlier, but I also don't remember Monty ever saying he wanted to be here...

I think even one trade could be beneficial.. We need a Dillon Brooks type who won't tolerate it. ANd he went to a team with a lot of immaturity, but I don't see that **** anymore. It's time to trade some young "talent" for guys who can already play and not too old and if they have a great career elsewhere, so be it.. It's the fit... Now the losing is so bad, everyone could be healthy but they're expecting to lose, and every opponent is expecting to win. We need a strong veteran with a mental game who can show it on the court. We don't need a great towel waiver, although they have worth.

I noticed multiple instances of players snipping at each other.

The losing is taking its toll for sure. The locker room can’t be a happy place.

Magic fan, just stopping by to say this sucks and I know exactly how you feel. We had a few of these seasons where I had to tune out to not loose my mind with the group. But honestly, better days are coming.

Doubtful better days are coming but it's nice to see some fans of other teams with some classy words, it's been mostly relegate/make them sell the team to another city since the season started

This is driving me crazy! Our shooters are driving to the hoop and our athletic non-shooters are taking the threes. It's like they haven't self-scouted. Or everyone on the team is so one-dimensional offensively, the defense knows just how to play them, and instead of trying to shoot contested shots they pivot to doing the thing they're bad at. We take whatever the opposing defense gives us, which is never what we want. We don't seem capable of generating or taking looks that *we* want, at least not with any consistency. It's pathetic.

For the love of basketball, can we please start Cade, Ivey, Ausar, Bojan, Stewart next game. Monty if your reading this, just try this out and I guarantee we'll compete next game!

That's it, and after +20 games we finish Troy's test to see what we have in the team.
Out with Harris, out with Livers, out with Wiseman, out with almost everyone, at this point even out with Bojan (get the best you can) and trade for players who really help, and Monty please play Stewart at the 5 in the second unit when Duren returns.

God bless you OrlandoMagoGirl lol. It's so bad in pistonland that we are relying on opposing teams fans to have us hang in there and not completely lose our minds. Thank you

Right? Like why is our coach doing this to us its so cruel! Lmao. I'm not a huge Livers fan, but even have him instead of Ausur since he plays decent defense and shoots better from 3 than Ausur.

You don't rock with a team who struggled for years only to see them go to another city and thrive. No, you deserve to be excited and joyful when they turn everything around and start winning.

Now when you guys get better, please do not resurrect our one side rivalry where you guys knocked us out the playoffs everytime. Please and thank you.
