once again another game where one team is allowed to be super physical and the other one not allowed to match that physicality....you can't win when these are the conditions....especially if you're turning the ball over on top of that

Yeah, we’re done. We can’t shoot layups, can’t make free throws, and can’t make 3s. I’m just upset that this is the Friday game and not Sunday. The only one we had even a chance of winning.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.-John 3:16

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

I feel like we never recovered from that Suggs scare.

Franz and Paolo struggling to create against this Boston defense. Good learning opportunity for them. Ingles could help stem the flow a bit.

Given who *isn't* playing for Boston and the fact they're on the 2nd night of a BTB, it's unlikely (on paper of course) that the Magic could have a better opportunity than they have tonight.

We’re also missing our starting center, starting SG, and starting PG…. The last of which I’m not too worried about but we’re missing key pieces too.


Are we though? If you asked this board, they'd have Carter and Fultz off the roster already.

And I mean *now* they don't have Suggs, but he played 15 minutes in the first half and they were bad when he was on the floor and trailing big, ya know?

We were +2 when he left with the injury. I don’t count the minutes he played injured against him as he wasn’t as aggressive defensively with that hand and couldn’t create off the dribble afterwards.

I’m out (long-term) on Fultz due to the shooting but anyone saying that WCJ isn’t a goo player that makes a positive impact is crazy and doesn’t know basketball.

Fultz will probably be back if Suggs misses time.

be prepared to see some make up calls by the refs when the game clearly can't be won by us

I'll use this to push my conspiracy theory that the league told refs to call games against our favor more often the past 6-7 games.

Outside of the Detroit game, games have been mostly outright against our favor, not even an equal affair on both sides

It makes it hard for us both offensively because we depend so much on attacking the rim, & defensively because we're a fairly aggressive team

This team is perplexing. Some games things are clicking and some games absolutely nothing works at all. Nothing in between.

Brown, Holiday, and Tatum are just completely outplaying Franz, Suggs, and Paolo.

Blaming the refs for the **** show our players showed tonight is weak. They aren't helping but they have 5 points from the line. I don't wanna hear that excuse.

Yeah but I'd expect us to generally have more FT attempts than any other team, because we attempt more shots in the paint than practically every team in the league
