WCJ with the stealth trash game because we didn't see him down the stretch. Probably the only thing Mosley did right.

He has to go. Just brutally low effort defensively and doesn't really look to shoot enough either.

All in all this was a good game. They competed.

Just saying.

Fools gold baby and the east blows

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.

It's more concerning that we're 1-6 in our last 7 against above 500 teams. We're trending in the wrong direction.

The same Cole who almost shot the Magic out of the game to open the 4th quarter and was repeatedly hunted on switches?

C'mon now.

Fun game for sure. Bad decision making, turnovers, and missed free throws costing us

Absolutely have to get the Memphis and Portland games before we hit the road.

It's wild that they completely went away from Goga and Black.

Ingles - 4assists (they should have been more) 0 TOs
Paolo - 2 assists, 7 TOs

Without Ingless on court, the balls stays in Paolo hands and our offense dies.

Lets stop looking for whipping boys, Paolo and Franz lost us the game. Or frankly im willing to blame the coach for Franz being on the floor at all in the last possession, when we need 3 pts.

Paolo turns the ball over twice in crucial plays because he has to have the god damn ball in his **** hands.

Clippers don’t have a point guard. Or, they do, but he’s on the bench.

Harden is a PG.

Down the stretch just then he was playing the AB equivalent of PG and getting the ball across half court and handing it to Kawhi/George to create.

The ball likely ends up in Paolo’s or Franzs’s hands still even with a PG upgrade.

On the last play, they should’ve been in. Neither Moe nor Franz can make an outside shot.

Yeah I've enjoyed the Joe Ingles experience this year for what it is... Scrap that, I've manage to suffer through the Ingles experience this year, but surely the F.O. can't look at this and think "yes, another year of this". If he still has a year on his deal he needs to be third string (or traded).

Absolutely have to win the next two.

It's really not concerning IMO... They're losing to really good veteran teams. They're struggling to close against these sorts of teams which makes sense.

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

He's also dealing with a *very* flawed roster offensively.

They basically have no one outside of Ingles (who obviously brings a myriad of other issues) who is capable of creating a good shot for another person in the halfcourt.

This rotation will be lucky to win 1 playoff game.
