In addition to just generally being a horrible offensive team, the Magic just suck so badly on the margins most nights too.

7 missed free throws in one half. 11 turnovers in one half. 6 OREB conceded in one half.

Like yeah they'd still be losing, but you turn those 7 missed FTs into 3, those 11 turnovers into 7 and those 6 OREB into 3 and it's like a 10 point game and you're still in striking distance to come back.

Lol sure Mosely game plan is the problem. His clipboard must read: let cleveland dunk and shoot wide open 3's. We will win if we do these things.


Absolutely is… Can tell you the post game conference, “We play hard and fight for each other and….” So over him not holding his players publicly accountable… I’d love to have a boss that lets me do whatever the **** I want…


:lol: Calling out players in public is a GREAT way to lose respect of your team and they stop fighting for you. You should never take up coaching.

He absolutely should rip them a new one in the locker room though

If I could banish players to only post on Magic Facebook groups, I legit would. Howard Mass, trade me my mod powers for that ability

Have you ever seen a player roll their eyes more than him? :lol:


I’m over Wendell. He’s a bench big masquerading as a starter. Seems to think he’s worthy of a larger role than he is. Doesn’t do the simple things we need like rebound and block shots. Routinely clogs the paint with his movement.


I like Wendell off the bench at 5/4 or as a trade chip. He's good...just seems like an unclear role out there...like Okeke-now he's a guard, now he's a spot up shooter, now he's covering Trae...


It’s because he can’t play a specific role well so he has to be a jack of all trades to make up for it. He can defend well enough in space but sucks ass in the paint. Can not be relied upon to get a board when you need one. He’s basically Vuc with less offense and more mobile defense.

I blame Mosley for setting a game plan tonight that has Wendell as the 2nd highest shot taker when he’s playing against one of the league’s best defenders.

Teams don't go into games with pre-planned shot attempts, Ben. Come on.

You can’t draw FTs off FTs so he doesn’t know how he’s supposed to get a shot off.

I don’t want to hear excuses from Dante about 3 game in 4 nights. That was a total lay down.

:roll:

This is just goofy stuff.

The ball movement and defense dictate shot attempts. Especially for guys who don't get plays called for them, which Carter does not.

You think they just wing it? Like it’s just chance that the ball ends up with Wendell? You don’t think they have specific matchups and places they want to try to generate looks and shots from? Dude, these are pros, of course they have a game plan which is going to influence who’s shooting.

Coach Mosley seems like one of those people that will not embarrass you in front of company but you'll hear it in the locker room.
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

You don’t know what you’re talking about. This is probably the worst take you’ve ever had. Go watch the opening dozen plays of any game Wendell starts this season and you’ll see the plays called for him. Ball movement happens as a result of a game plan and the defensive rotations they expect. Carter is absolutely a factor in that.
