2023-2024 Regular Season Game 27: Orlando Magic (16-10) at Milwaukee Bucks (20-7) - 8pm

[SOUL]

Cole being our best rebounder is jokes

[SOUL]

Wendell shouldn't have been cleared imo, there's a huge lump on his hand

[thelead]

How long did it take Tatum and Brown to get to where they are now? You can’t blame Paolo and Franz for the failures of the past.

2-3 seasons - by the 3rd season of tatum both him and brown were 20ppg players and they made the conference finals. so we should be almost there already:D

Not impossible theoretically. If the front office can pull in a prime level Kyrie or Kemba talent, then yeah, I think we’ll be right on track. In fact, that’s exactly what we need.

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/

No, but we can be angry about the fact they did nothing noteworthy towards putting a good team around them. Made 2 lotto picks that were ill-advised, only FA acquisition was Ingles and thus the roster construction is goofy and redundant.

relax, we very flexible right now and we can start solving some of those roster fit issues very soon....i think anybody can see we need to do something to improve the roster

Bos had a bunch good veterans though we don’t.

We could have gotten them, if we want it, free agents or a trade, we had the space and trade capital.

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

Obviously the biggest overall factor was shot making. But WCJ's -27 is pretty damning. Just solid rebounding and finishing (like Goga does) would have helped.

Holy snap crackle and pop. Isaac, please pray harder, we need you more than in completely healed mode

[SOUL]

Bulls only have 3 less wins than us now, damn

[eyriq]

I miss the dunce cap thread

[MasterGMer]

I am not a believer in moral victory. But the team stayed in the game whole time not like Miami Heat game even they were without Jimmy Butler. But we have some big misses from 3s and that was the game during the tight stretch.

Houstan needs to shoot better. He was in the game to shoot but he was 0-3 tonight even when wide open.

I think this stretch really will show how good our team is. We are just not there yet. But I believe in our future. We need to add some pieces but hey, Franz is only 22 and Paolo is only 21. Let's beat Indiana!

Franz and Gary did fine but man, their threes are still way off. Gary had a fake one at the end but like.. our three point shooting is miserable I can't stand it

Who would you give it to?

Let's get Lavine. F*** it

Also something i've noticed now that i've seen the difference....Goga is a WAY BETTER screener, it seems like Dell makes no contact at all on the screen....damn man, i don't usually like the question mose but i'm wondering if it was the right decision to just throw dell back into the fire like that instead of just bringing him off the bench then ramping back up to starting?

It's just difficult to play 3 centers, look at what happened yesterday. If WCW plays, one of Moe and Goga won't play.

Not a good look for LaVine. They’ve been noticeably better without him.

Gary Harris

Would have been a toss up between Banchero and WCJ for me.

[Rainwater]

This made me chuckle, lol.

[SOUL]

As much as I appreciate our bench having a good connection and rapport with one another, we have too many injuries every other day to really have consistency anyway.. start Cole and Goga imo.

Kemba level type of player is achievable.
Jrue for instance was traded to Boston for 2 draft picks an injury ridden C and PG.
I like Howard, but what was the point of this pick? If we had Jrue instead of Howard, WCJ and Fultz right now, who would complain?
