LMAO how does this have to do with Fultz? The team can't play defense and your best player is having an atrocious game.

I don't like Fultz but he played well in the 4th, he is not to blame.

he played well but trading 2 for 3's when you're down isn't going to help down the stretch.

I get it but they got it down to 5 I believe. I understand the issue for Mose.

High probability Bucks rest players in 1 of the 2 games.

You just can’t be a 30 USG% guy and be this far below the league average in TS% and expect to have a good team offense.

It is just not viable moving forward. Next year he has to be a lot better there or some real conversations are going to need to be had.

He'll be fine. He's the best player on the team and just needs more good players around him.

Weltman wanted “organic” growth instead. Bitch this ain’t a grocery store it’s a business. We should have made FVV an offer

Pretty simply, our team doesnt have enough 3 pt shooters to be going down 15+ pts to start a game

I'm curious what our team record is when being down 15+ in a game

They should just lose the next 3 games so the front office is prompted to do their jobs for once

We knew this would be tough but it hurts.

The Magic need more offensive punch at the guard position.

They have got to find a way to win at least 2 of the last 3.

I like that FVV showed our team up, because we really couldve used him this season. Easy 50+ win season

Maybe I get my lotto pick after all.

Sorry but wanting a lotto pick after the season we’ve had is just dumb

Giannis isn’t going to play tomorrow, but they’ve won games without him this season.

The saving grace might be the Bucks having the 2 seed wrapped up before the finale and the Magic winning that game to avoid the play in.

I think the Bucks purposely lose the next 3 games... they'll be resting guys for the stealth tank to avoid the Heat/Sixers.

Even garbage time guys are playing like garbage. Team just looked out of its depth tonight. Had no answers. Couldn’t contain Fred, couldn’t get into the paint on offense, and a pissweak effort on defense.

Time to get serious boys, you’re in the pointy end of the season now. Gotta be dialled in.

Time and time again, Mosley lets the subs blow a possession or two, the lead gets back to 10, then calls timeout.

How is he not seeing this happen over and over again.

To be fair the bench has won the Magic the majority of their games this season. Maybe he gave them too much leeway today, but I don't blame him for doing so.

We have to roll the dice with Paolo, but there was no reason for Fultz to get so much usage and so many minutes.
Why Mosley gave him the keys to the team like that? 18 pts on 18 shots is not a good efficiency. Plus the dumb tos.

Pressure is on now. Time to see if this coaching staff and group of players is punching above their weight class or will they finally play with a semblance of urgency.

I don't think Milwaukee would mind dropping to 3rd.

We are an incomplete team still but with potential. This summer free agency will be huge to potentially improve shooting, guard scoring.
