2024-2025 Regular Season Game 5: Orlando Magic (3-1) at Chicago Bulls (2-2) - 8pm ET

Is it an injury or just him being sick?

Hope it's just sick .... And not just an "undisclosed injury"

If he is injured, i dont think we even let him play at all. The dude still playing but i think he has the flu/covid/whatever that makes you lose energy with your body.

Both me and my wife have some nasty post covid issues with energy, playing him is simply dumb. Especially in this fashion. Let him take few games off and he should be fine

[GameOver25]

Ok Magic get these bad losses out of your system and figure yourselves out.

So glad we paid KCP 20M to miss wide open threes…

Suggs should be a starting SG, not our starting PG.

Anyone see Dennis Schroeder stats last game and tonight??? After watching him play with the Wagner brothers should have been offseason priority. This team will not compete for a championship with Suggs as PG.

4/22 FG, 0/12 3PT with 4 turnovers in the 4th quarter.

Ghastly.

Sounds like a point guard issue

[SOUL]

we shot 24% from deep. Paolo made a lot of good reads and the guys just couldn't make open shots.

Paolo also stopped getting the ball at the elbow for long stretches but I would need to rewatch this to figure out why

I do not think Paolo made good reads at all that game. First half, yes, almost perfect. Second half it's like he saw Angel Reese and got horny.

Did we take the extended warranty on our KCP? The one we got is defective, and it was f’ing expensive.

Anthony Black is going to be the PG when they are ready to contend

Missed Franz.

Add Schroeder!

Schroder or Sexton. Sexton preferably but would take Schroder if Ainge is asking for too much. We actually need a reliable bench scorer.

welp im over it

Could the Magic have called a timeout on the last possession when it started going haywire? I guess.

But my sense is that they wanted to save it in case they missed and had to foul.

Which is exactly what happened, but unfortunately there was only 0.1 on the clock.

I just wish Paolo wouldn't have given the ball up so easily. There was a lot of time on the clock and I just think he got a little spooked that they were about to double when they really weren't.

I'm telling you ever since the Heat game, the coaching staff, maybe himself, I don't know who's to blame, but he's back to iso Paolo going 1 on 5.

The magic could easily be under 500. Coming back home after the pacers game....

So?

It's a long season.

I get that. And I'm saying they are gonna under 500 for the season but for a team that never fell 500. For the season last year to potentially be 3-6 coming home after this road trip is not a good start to the season we were hoping for.

This win was absolutely vital to the early start of the season.

[SOUL]

If we go 5-4 these first 9 games it's not bad considering our schedule, but we have to steal at least two at Cavs/Dallas/OKC (b2b)/Indy

You didn't notice that they were completely gassed on the bench in the last time out? Draw up a play for the go ahead 3.

[T-Cat]

Does Coach Mosley deserves to be on the HOT SEAT after this embarrassing lost? If anyone with half a nats brain could figure out to stop hoisting 3s (legs were tired) go into the post and score!

I wonder what the team will work on at practice?

that Cavs game scares me. They are playing ELITE basketball right now. I even saw Garland playing defense the other night

[eyriq]

The best news is that Cole is benched

They were 5-5 through 10 games last year. I'm not really too worried about it. Even if they go 0-5 on the road trip, which I don't think they will, it's not a big deal.

[ORLMagicGirl15]

I think this game was probably the easier win on the road. This road trip might be very rough.

Kcp.....had NOTHING but wide open threes today
