2024-2025 Regular Season Game 42: Orlando Magic (23-18) at Milwaukee Bucks (21-17) 8:00PM

[Bensational]

Do you not see how they're guarding us? They are building a wall in the paint and daring us to make 3's. When we attack the paint, we're going against multiple defenders.

And continuing to go to low % 3’s will just be playing into their defensive strategy where we live or die by the 3. Getting into the paint gets the guys closer to a higher percentage shot.

But if we had competent shooters, this wouldn't be a problem. Either we would be making open 3's or Paolo would have driving lanes. Not having competent shooters is making the game so much harder than it needs to be.

We have competent shooters but they aren’t shooting competently. And you can’t tell me that the 26 misses from 3 tonight don’t add to the pressure of the next 3. Continuing to go to it is a desperate gamblers move hoping one big win will get them back in the black.

The defense is horrid too

When it's bad it's bad

The defense is horrid too

it is. I'm not complaining about that because Suggs, Franz, and Goga will help on that end quite a bit.

[eyriq]

These Bucks are pretty good

[MartinsIzAfraud]

Giannis and Dame combined are 8 points off our total

[rcklsscognition]

It feels like Franz is the most important engine for our offense. What he brings in that end with Paulo out was a thing of beauty. How it works with both of them, we shall see.

[basketballRob]

We can't even sit players in the 4th quarter because we're already playing the 3rd team.

Zero resistance, rim protection essential

That only works when the others are playing up to standard.... Lebron, Jordan, magic, or bird wouldn't be able to do nothing with the help he has out there much less Franz.... Tonight just not the night

3-20 from threes

It’s weird because last season it was the complete oppo…oh that’s right.

[Last Guardian]

We are losing big because we missed a lot of 3's. And now we have to take 3's to try to get back in the game

[rcklsscognition]

AB is developing a pretty nice hesi

[shadrock]

Cole Anthony was born a fking loser and this team has been selfish and had no heart since he has been starting at PG, which is an accurate representation of who he is as a person. Thats all i have to say.

Not much to say other than its been an absolutely awful performance.

[Bensational]

Bucks have had 25FTAs vs the Magic’s 9FTAs.

That’s the bulk of their lead, and those FTs were generated by attacking the paint. Magic average 22FTAs a game but because we’re not attacking the paint and instead taking compounding bad 3pt shots we can’t get into the game.

Yea the C's of the team aren't really set in stone. I like Goga, but don't necessarily think we can't do better than him.

He should not be starting, not even saying we'd win, but the offense is disaster with him in the starting lineup.

[SOUL]

Cole definitely sucked but I mean, we've won like 4-5 games this year just from Cole's offense even if it is streaky.

[Optimus_Steel]

We’ve taken 30 more 3s than they have. Just a really dumb way to play.

[thelead]

AB needs to be so much more aggressive. He is frustrating the hell out of me right now.
