I felt pretty certain when we got robbed on the Cole goaltend that should've given us 2 points we'd lose by 1 or 2...but we just played like ass against a decimated team. fuglyyyyyy

Let me get this straight-we have 5 guards.
Suggs is hurt
Fultz can't shoot
AB is too young
Cole is meh....
Jett is on assignment, also too young.

And y'all thought we had too many guards?
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

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

The Magic just don't play with any urgency. We seriously need a legit vet at PG to be a leader on the floor.

Our guard play is atrocious. It has been frustrating watching this team play for the past two months.

One shooter isn't fixing this unfortunately. Yes, the Magic desperately need shot makers, but there's an equally big (bigger?) problem that exists with a lack of shot creation.

Mike D'Antoni would be a nice addition as an advisor to Mosley but he's doing the same in NO right now.

Yeah, trade the one guard that can shoot, that'll fix it...


Can't shoot it if he's always out injured. I want availability

We need new and better players.


Also feels bad to have two lotto picks and get next to nothing in contribution from them. Especially when one Is supposed to be a knockdown shooter and can't crack the rotation on a team that badly needs shooting.

Make the trade for Murray. The team can't miss the playoffs.

To be specific we need a perimeter scorer to balance Paolo/Franz inside scoring. Cole's offense died with his haircut.

Give the ball to KD when he has 14 in the quarter, and see if he passes it up Joe Ingles for the winner.

They certainly do.

Whether or not they value Murray enough to meet Atlanta's asking price is a different story.

We can't shoot worth a damn AND our preparation is extremely poor. Our 1st half game plan was horrible.

Out games. Hands all taped up. Recklessness. Always in early foul trouble

I like the guy but I'll trade him..
