This game is setting this franchise back 5 years. Atrocious.

This challenge could be pivotal

Team just had the absolute wrong mindset tonight.

Starters came out and looked flat immediately. I wonder what changed.

They think it's game 40.. you have to be ready to bring it every night at this point of the season. They look a little too relaxed tonight.

Exactly. It's evident in the rebounding between the two teams.

Wendell and Fultz have never had a positive net rating. That's why the team always looks better when they aren't on the floor.

31 points from the starters at this point, putrid

AB is a terrible FT shooter for a guard

Totally justified to bench the whole starting line up. The hell are they doing tonight?

This is my problem with the starters, specifically Paolo/Franz. When their offense is off, they have to figure out different ways to contribute.

Excellent challenge by the Magic

Well at least we all get a reminder or a glimpse of wgat we will experience in the post season.

Opponents will gameplan and we will tear our hair out missing fts and 3s and PB/Franz shot rimming out.

It's not gonna be this bad regularly, Suggs and Paolo should be hitting their open 3s. Improving organically, Franz should be able to figure out how to shoot and hopefully we get an answer what exactly is the role Black is suited to play and perhaps Jett turns out to be a rotation player after all at some point. We need reliable scoring point guard and we need him yesterday.

Absolutely agree, but for Paolo if he goes facilitator... who's going to shoot? Franz / Fultz from 3? He kicked out a bunch of times early and it was brick city. We just need more talent, especially in the guards
