Random people will stop Paolo, like Dean Wade. Some games he just looks like he has no wiggle or strength, it's really odd.

No offense, but we don't have the basketball IQ to run a zone.

I love Black's future but I'm gonna be honest.. hard to be a legit playoff team without a credible PG on the roster. Not even counting Fultz because he can't be depended on.

I think it’s pretty obvious what happens. We start off a game bad from 3 and they just stop playing with energy and hustle and then It steamrolls.

we won't make it out of the first round if we don't make a deal for a pg. you cant win a playoff series playing 4 on 5 on offense and i like black but he's very raw

I swear to you Paolo is playing for a triple double. Although that Houston shot went in there was no reason to pass up that lay up again lol

We just got blown out twice in Boston, @ Nets and @ Cavs.. beating Detroit and Cavs at home is whatever.

We get the Bucks in Milwaukee tomorrow night too. If you ever wanted to just showcase the Magic's inability to win the nightly "math game", I can't think of better teams than the Celtics, Heat, Bucks, and Pacers all in a row.

Easily the worst loss of the year. Just absolutely gave up with 5 mins left in the 2nd quarter and played like total idiots.

Yeah, he might be a good someday but right now he is just extremely raw.

Tyus Jones. Get Kispert while you’re at it for his shooting.
