It's hard to overcome this lineup, and Mosely is stubborn.

“Far and away?” We have a better record thru 50+ games, and injuries haven’t affected them like they have us.


Are we talking about basketball? Because you could be talking about selling ice cream and I’m giving you a hard time for no reason.

You're thinking of this season. I'm thinking of the organization as a whole. They have been in the finals multiple times (in the last 5 years even) and have won 3 championships. We have not matched their success.

Why would I be thinking about all-time records?

Because we are talking about a rivalry. Why would I be a rivalry to a team that does not have similar success than me? That's what I took from what Rob wrote. That the Miami do not consider us rivals.

Well... that was quick and ugly

You only need to look at the spacing with your own eyes to know that this lineup is DOA.

It starts slow but plays well the rest of the game for some reason.

The advanced stats and the eye test for this starting lineup just don't match up.

This iteration of the magic has made me distrust many advanced stats.

[KillMonger]

Already in the hole.... Soon enough the bench will come in and brick some more shots.... Cole/moe/Ingles not exactly lighting the net on fire

Yet it seems like they play like garbage every game.

Make it make sense.

[ORLMagicGirl15]

The defense and offense to start off this game is disgusting.

They had a huge game against Houston in the first game, and it's been downhill since then. No rim protection at all. Wendell, Paolo, and Franz all play smaller than they are.

Disgusting start par for the course.

It starts off bad, and then they kinda find themselves at the end of 2nds/3rds/part of the 4th.

But it's definitely not optimal

[SloNick Russia]

Franz with 3 TOs already, WCJ is sleepwalking again...not much hope so far

This is as disgusting a start as I've seen in a minute

[GameOver25]

[ORLMagicGirl15]
