2023-2024 Regular Season Game 73: Los Angeles Clippers (45-27) at Orlando Magic (42-30) - 7pm

Well that's a shame. Last time I was very disappointed, they bounced back with five straight wins. Nevertheless, I'm still very disappointed. They have to win games like this if they want to be serious about being good. Yes the roster needs more firepower, but they could have won this one with the cards they were dealt.

Let me ask you a question shouldn't it have been Isaac on Leonard instead Paolo down the stretch?

Why do fans say such dumb things?

If you wouldn’t swap the two of them you’re the dumb one.

Cole and Isaac should've been in, but Franz and Moe are being gifted minutes.

Inexperienced coaching and inexperienced players. It is what it is. Unreal on those lack of challenges by Mosley.

Franz awful play is a major concern. WCJ is not a starting caliber center. Our lack of competent PG play is gonna continue to loom large. Coach is aware of this because he had to play old Joe heavy in the 4th quarter.

Defense can only get you so far. We can't score worth a damn.

I hope everyone notices how much the team comes to life when WCJ comes out of the game.

Barnes was picked before Suggs and Franz

Sometimes that doesn't work against good teams. Sometimes it does. But this is certainly not anything new. It's how they've played the entire season.

You have to adapt game to game though.

Its possible that Jalen was the call but Clippers guarded it well. I don't believe Franz could have been the first option for a needed 3 point shot

Just saying.

Fools gold baby and the east blows

It’s not fools gold, we are an up and coming team that has to learn how to win games against veterans squads. It’s a process.

Mosley certainly deserves some blame, he had challenges at his disposal and didn't use them. They don't carry over to the next game.

I'm out on Ingles btw. Cool guy and all, just complete **** player and a P&R merchant with Moe. Pathetic effort based plays.

I didn't like that Zubac was able to score so effortlessly. WCJ and Moe are not really an answer defensively for big Cs.

To expand on it a little further...

The Magic are 17-0 against the six worst teams in the league (DET, WAS, SAS, CHA, POR, TOR) and 25-31 against everybody else.

Mosley is not a X and Os guy. He’s a culture guy that relies on his assistants to scheme up plays. He gets the guys to play hard, but with no real strategy behind it other than “play for each other” and to “sit down on defense”. His rotations are ass as well. Mosley is basically a salesman

GOOD THING we decided to retain terrible players and not add any point guards to this team in the offseason or deadline.

Good to watch Paolo and Franz turn over the ball a zillion times a game in isolation. Very cool very cool.

ibraheim718 · Post #517 » by **ibraheim718** » Sat Mar 30, 2024 1:30 am

Knightro can you break down that play before the last one so you can make sense of it.

RookieStar · Post #518 » by **RookieStar** » Sat Mar 30, 2024 1:30 am

Yeah... look on the bright side, our guys gets an early feel to what they will experience during the PO.

I genuinely do not like Scottie Barnes and would rather have Franz. Even if I'm a crazy homer, they really shouldn't be compared anyway, since Scottie was off the board before our first pick, let alone our second.
