they were not the same team for the last month or so. The offense was bad but it took a nosedive. I expected this tbh.

Has Ingles fallen off badly? Last time I saw him he was lighting up 3's like it was Christmas time in Utah.

Magic desperately need a guard that can consistently score, they have a great young front court but man the guard play on offense is pretty painful to watch at times, i am sure this isn't a revelation to magic fans

Ya just be consistent. If you want to let them play then let them play. Don't pick and choose when to get soft.

East is **** terrible outside of Boston.

Lol 8th seed in the east was 10 games over .500

Magic made the playoffs in 2020 being 4 games under .500

As good as he's scoring it, Paolo's 8 TOs are probably a big reason that magic are behind.

this would be a one possession game if the magic were a good FT shooting team

I haven't watched them in a while. Whatever happened to Cole Anthony? They had just gave him a big $40mil contract.

Trust, me it isn’t. The Magic need a pg and a shot creator. A pg that can do both would be ideal.

I'm sure they think it's a make up call, but it's nowhere near enough. You could tell someone was going to get hurt and Okoro might need bridge work.

I haven't watched them in a while. What ever happened to Cole Anthony? They had just gave him a big $40mil contract

don't know either and i had thought Fultz was turning it around too, but maybe just an off game

Smart scheduling decision to put this game at 1 pm when not many people will probably watch. This **** was not a sight for sore eyes.

Vampirate · Post #579 » by **Vampirate** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 7:28 pm

Neither team has been particularly impressive today.
