2023-2024 Regular Season Game 39: Orlando Magic (21-17) at Oklahoma City Thunder (26-11) - 8pm

Defense has actually been really good. The offense absolutely sucks though. Need to find a way to increase the pace.

SGA is a stud

I do agree he is a stud, but there is zero IQ from this team in guarding him… He’s missed 3 wide open threes, yet we still find it wise to press up on him… Sit back just like every team does against practically our whole team…

I know a guy who can push the pace…

Houstan should be yelled at for that one contested ~27 footer with time on the shot clock. WTF was that?

There is no real good way to guard SGA, too crafty

The guy with 'knee tendinitis' but wraps his shoulder?

Not at all can I call this an offense .... I know we have depth issues but my god.... Just the basic stuff we run... Limited ball movement.... Limited man movement.... Can't count how much time we waste with just one player holding the ball for a DHO... This is mosely's weakness, you can't just focus on defense.... Especially when we don't even run like that

I disagree, you sit off him and make him shoot—where are all his points?

lol he's averaging 55% last month and 60% this month.. do you think no NBA team has tried that? He will literally get anywhere on the court. If he doesn't, he has 3-4 other legit options to pass it to.

I remember when he was a decent recruit going into his senior season and it looked like he was going to be a Gator before spurning us for Kentucky last minute after he blew up his senior season. Never thought he would be close to this good, lol.

[KillMonger]

Still amazed by the fact it's only a 9 point game

Orlando never posts up Paolo and it’s maddening. Our whole game plan with him is throw it way out on the perimeter and make something happen. Watch his highlight at Duke, dude was a savant in the post. I don’t get why they don’t utilize that part of his game.

Haven’t watched them, you have? Basic basketball IQ against an opposing teams best player is to take away their first option but also make someone else beat you… The Magic are letting him get into paint with and 1s… He is beating us with his first option…

Again, poor coaching.

SGA has the deepest bag in the league, the answer to him is a healthy Suggs but we dont have that so...

the overreactions need to chill, this was a scheduled loss even if our team was healthy, its not close to healthy and its a b2b

just chill out and enjoy the game if you're watching. rough watch though

[thelead]

wow... a patient possession

[ChosenSavior]

Nice attack by Caleb

[ChosenSavior]

Strong drive by Banchero

[SOUL]

I swear at some point during every game we have the "post up Paolo like he's Shaq" comment lol

And it's usually after we watch him turn the ball over or finish weak inside.. the guy is not a paint savant and finishes really weak and waits way too long. I don't know what other people see in his paint game. I want it to be really good, but it's not there yet.

We can absolutely post him.. if we get him on a switch and the spacing is right so nobody can double him. He does it a lot when our offense is moving and he's one of the ball handlers and gets a switch.

Otherwise, modern defenses will destroy indecisiveness. Even with a weak double.

[KillMonger]

Can't give chet wide open 3s

Caleb will probably have a game one day where he hits 10+ 3-pointers.
