IDGAF that we're missing Paolo or Goga... this offense is offensive. It is not good enough. It wasn't good enough last year and it's still not good enough.

How are you going to provide rim pressure when the guy you're guarding is one of the best shooting bigs/players in the league and is parked at the 3 point line 70-80 percent of the game?

People don't watch the game, unfortunately.


I wonder how Kessler did so well defending the rim in their game against the Knicks when he was guarding the same player, lmao. Such lame ass excuses


The Knicks are the best offense in the league, lmao. :lol: And Kessler is easily a top 3-5 defensive big man who can guard 1-5. We dont have a Kessler on our team :lol:


That is your comeback? Lol. Kessler is definitely not guarding 1-5. He's a traditional C. But nice try.

Screw defense. I don't care about defense. I'm so goddamn tired of looking so goddamn putrid on offense.

This is what happens when you lean on 2 players in total to create offense and make zero adjustments in the previous trade deadline and offseason.

Can't even keep it respectable.... Clearly we weren't prepared.... Players execute but preparation is on the coaching

It's actually bad for the nba to put the magic on tv, not a good product at all.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

Nah, WCJ can still contribute as a starter, but TDS is absolutely useless in that lineup. Can’t help on the boards. Can’t defend. Stands in the corner on offense and misses open shots. He makes the frontcourt weaker.

WCJ needs to go, I can't say this much more than I already have. What does he provide?
