We have to be. Who could possibly be worse

This is looking like a mistake.

WCJ is DEFINITELY not ready to play. He can barely hold onto the ball.

or vice versa, had they shot less 3pts, i dont think WCJ and Moe had any business taking 7 3pts, those are seven bad possessions.

This is a trade and F/A issue not a draft issue. One pick we just drafted can't even touch the court, the other is barely playable due to age.

The only reason we're really mad is because of how we moved the goalposts after our winning streak. But realistically,.500 is a success for this team given how little offensive capability we have. This is the type of game that shows that we're close. We have some good players and we battle, but just not enough shot making.

Fultz hero game in Washington will save us

This is a FA / trade solution in my opinion, not draft

Yep. We have enough assets to fix the roster fit issues. That and patience (and health) should get us to where we want to be.

More patience huh? What, another decade of having patience? Maybe 2033 will be our year!!

Yeah, this is it. Just hoping for .500 ball the rest of the way

He shouldn't have been handed the starting job coming right back, goga has proved that he's a better fit and we win more with him starting. we messed with the chemistry and now we're paying for it.

The 30-35 % who hated our draft are beginning to look like Cassandra

This coaching is horrendous!

The playing time/rotation is awful… How can you sit there and watch WCJ play like this and just hope he finds his way… Love Blacks defense but he has to be the worst offensive player in the NBA—his defense will never be a net positive because he can’t **** score…

You really expected to win a championship this year while being led by a 21 and 22 year old? The patience is regarding development, not roster building. We should actively be trying to fix the roster.

Naw, I think the Pacers, Wiz, Warriors, Knicks, maybe even Kings are winnable games.

It makes you think if Goga played if it would've made a difference?

Harris with the buzzer beater. Clutch

Can't even get Giannis to miss now, not that it matters.

Also, we're a defensive team, but horrendous offense makes it harder to defend. It puts you in transition more often, not to mention the morale aspect. Making the opponent take the ball out of the net will help keep you a top ranked defense.

No I don’t ever expect to win a championship EVER as a Magic fan but next year we will say we are young and then the next year we will say we are still young and then the next year we will be young again. It’s been a broken record now of being young for over a decade/

Much, much better effort tonight. Just needed some more shots to fall.

There will be slumps in seasons. Just got to fight your way out of them.

Perfect ending. Harris with a 3.
