If you can't not lose to the Knicks by 30, you aren't good enough to be in the Cup. That is the truth.

How many 3s is Suggs going to shoot until he realize that he doesn’t have it tonight?

KCP and Suggs have been embarrassed as defenders tonight. They really weren’t up to the task.

Their top 7 guys all shoot better from three than our best... which was Gary Harris :lol:

if we were the Lakers or Knicks, we would hear a ton of talking heads calling out Weltman for it.

I LOVE our defense but if we ever want to REALLY compete, something has to give with the roster construction. The top NBA teams can shoot the damn ball.

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.


I'm talking when healthy. He's Paolos backup at best, although JI is probably better

You and KM have blamed every run and loss on the coach so this tracks.

Weltman goes to sleep at 7pm so he missed this beatdown.

It’s hard to stomach an offense this bad when our 2 lotto picks in AB and Jett have combined for 2 points

Who knows the next time we get 2 lotto picks with 2 stars already in place on our team. I really hope these guys pan out

Also - no excusing Mosley on this. He doesn’t make the players make or miss shots but he chooses who to play and when and what offense they run. He’s had no answer for tonight’s problems. Made no effort to adjust lineups when down 35 in the 3rd quarter.

Team is 12-1 and fans turning on them last 13

Magic fans don't deserve a good team. You can be disappointed and not lose your minds over it.

This is true. Worst Mosely game to date easily. Players didn’t bring it. No one was ready tonight.

This has nada to do with Mosely. Not a thing.

It’s just one of those nights. Ugly and disappointing, but it happens to everyone. Did I mention it blows?

**** national audience. That’s what grinds me.

I mean when it is basically the one game that matters on national TV and our team looks like we are tanking for Flagg, you don't think people are going to be upset?

If people we overreacting to losing, that is one thing. We are embarrassing ourselves out there, losing so bad that everyone is punking on us, and lets be frank, do you really think we look like a team worthy of playoffs after this?

Don't we have to lose by 37 to be out of the cup?
