Because nothing screams "snowflake millennial" like crying and blaming everyone when your sports team loses. So many fans are unhinged it's crazy. Doesn't mean they shouldn't make moves, but my god..

reddit is great for troubleshooting technical info... and that's about it... the rest is a waste of time or worse

I read reddit specifically for the comically bad takes. Subs like /amitheasshole or /relationship_advice are unintentionally hilarious.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Our offense sucks. It has been painfully obvious how bad our offense is with Fultz in it. This last few games were clear as day. When Our starting lineup with him have struggled big time and we really just look like a below average team that has no business in the playoffs. The only reason we won of few of the games has been lineups with Isaac in and Fultz out that have got us out of holes.

If we seriously try and take this team to the playoffs with no moves, and Fultz at point.

I have legit concerns about the leadership.

Magic Reddit is an echo chamber with quite possibly the worst basketball takes.

You're not bad, I just find your timing odd with things.

This would've been a game where your Franz take makes sense. :lol:

AB has had some good moments, but is very much a rookie. There, that's all you're getting from me.

We also should go back to the AB/GOGA lineup, its the only time we had some elite defense to outweight our offensive struggles.

Our defense has been fine, held teams under 100 points in 3 of our last 4 wins. The starting lineup was somehow better on defense than the AB/Goga one, but the offense on all of these just suck.
