It's not even in the top 5 IMO.

It sucks, but it's also the end of a very long road trip.

The Magic got DRILLED at home by Cleveland and Minnesota and Philadelphia and this very same Heat team. Got smashed by Boston twice. There's been a lot of bad losses this year.

Oh, I disagree. We can debate all night, but this was a pretty big game and they were never in it. Again, not talking about the opponent. Just the performance of the team.

Gary Harris with a -20 +/- this game. It would be incredible if we surrounded Paolo and Franz with players who contribute regularly.

Me too. I'd love to play against a guard shooting 32% from 3.

If we started the second half well, we were for sure in it. They started hitting shots and we didn't.. simply put lol

You would think if this is the last time this group is together they would go out with one last fight...but I guess not today.

The magic are just a poor shooting team

Well you wonder the teams that pack the paint and make Orlando to shoot and that’s not happening. That’s how you beat the Magic

HOLY **** DANTE you said the quiet part out loud

Let's run it back and hope and pray that somehow we learn how to shoot out of nowhere

We can still win if we hold them under 100.

For the good of the team I hope Cole can use this quarter to break out of this slump. He’s not getting traded and if he can get back to how he was playing earlier in the season that would be fantastic.

this is nice and all but Miami has manhandled us all night. I expect more of the same after this timeout

It was like a 7 point game at halftime.

The Magic were down 19 after 1 quarter and 25 at halftime like two weeks ago at home to the Cavs.

They lost to a ten games under .500 Memphis team missing all their players and with a massive rest advantage recently.

And that was info we had all offseason. So we signed a rotational dude in Joe and drafted a guy who can’t shoot at 6, a guy who ostensibly can but isn’t ready for the NBA or something at 11, and went into the season with 5.5 guards who cannot shoot and no true PG on the roster.
