My point is that when your two best players are iso players, that's how the offense is usually run. I think people are just thinking we can run around Harris and Houstan like Ray Allen and Harris has never been that player.


Yep. Hopefully Orlando will correct this issue in the coming years with adding personnel that fits the games of our best players.
best of luck

Come on Magic, I woke up at 4:30am to watch the tip off at 5am.
Big game for some distance in the standings whilst chasing 4th.

Orlando playing with such poor fundamentals defensively.

Offense looks better when shots are made.

I'm sorry, but wanting to be in the lotto every year is a weird mentality.


So is apologizing for your opinion.

It’s pragmatic. And who said anything about every year? I think it’s painfully clear this rebuild is not finished, and as we all know, we’re not going to galvanize the team thru FA. Lotto picks are why we are on the way back. Not treading water with a .500 roster.

Team misses Suggs badly out there. I could honestly care less if Fultz plays another minute for the Magic tbh. Caught on late and saw that he's out yet again.

So you want an unending rebuild via playing young guys. Got it.

There’s absolutely nothing worse about NBA basketball than a ref missing a relatively obvious call, then giving the player who complained about the obvious missed call a technical foul.

Just compounding the garbage.

I wish I could automate a post for once a month that says "When will this team prioritise recruiting shooting as a skill"
I still believe in Magic! Welcome to the Franz & Paolo era

I'll settle for the team to be able to hit FTs consistently. I'm an easy guy to please.

Suggs out and Cole can't step up offensively. It's a huge issue.
