In our two biggest games of the season, Suggs fouled Fox 40 feet from the basket and doesn't shoot the ball with the clock running down.

So many things I want to say to you right now but won’t because you have a shiny badge.

You might as well just say it :lol:

Big feelings tonight.

Why?

Because we could've made up so much ground if we won and I'm mad that we didn't.

That was pretty awful, if not for Cole it would've been much much worse.

If we make a run in the playoffs, it'll be due to Cole as our #1 scorer off the bench and #1 unknown threat.

I beg to disagree, this Warriors team we just saw definitively sucks.

I'm not exactly sure what to make of it yet.

Agreed but it wasnt just Paolo that did that this game.

Him, Franz & Suggs all looked like they didnt want to be on the court tonight. Those last possessions were outright atrocious and hilariously passive by all 3

So we **** up Cole's great game after we **** up JI's great game. Its time for our leaders to get their **** togeter and remember that fight for the playoffs is on

A lot to digest in that game.

I'm not as mad at this one because we deserved to get our ass beat playing like that.

No we're just not good after extended rest

They deserved to lose. We're still having a good year overall, but you'd be lying to yourselves if you can't admit a loss like this doesn't hurt. Such a winnable game.

I can deal with growing pains but I cannot stand unintelligent basketball.

The missed FT shooting, the numerous lapses defensively, bad rebounding overall. Gotta hope that certain players aren't shrinking under the pressure. Starting Fultz was so dumb to me.

Paolo, Franz, and Suggs need to play much better. Fultz won't be on the team next year, so whatever... but WCJ is HUGE a problem for us. There were rumors that he was being shopped. It was a mistake to not pull the trigger.

They should turn off the Magics hot water

I think the right call was to continue with the bench the rest of the game. Paolo pretty much ruined everything when he came back in. Just a horrid night from him

If we want to point at one thing it was the offensive boards by GSW.

This game is the reason why they won't make it out of the first round. The Warriors aren't as talented but the experience and defensive scheme really crashed into our young stars. Imagine playing the Bucks/Cavs/Celtics/Knicks who have all that experience

ogmagicfan · Post #678 » by **ogmagicfan** » Thu Mar 28, 2024 1:28 am

I gotta reiterate, alot of posters keep saying Franz should get a max or near max contract, but I think that would be a big mistake if we do so.

His shot looks legitimately broken.

We've been playing bad for a while, but it was against bad, tanking teams.

The Magic got bitchslapped by a veteran team that knows how to play the game at the right time. Magic failed to show up in the first quarter and they can’t make a free shot aka free throw. They intentionally make this harder on themselves when the margins are slim. Wrong mindset to start, couldn’t execute at the right time. GS really had no business winning this game but the Magic let them have it. You aren’t playing the Wizards.
