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

[Bensational]

I'm surprised we got handled like this TBH. Not a good look

It's a shame to think we only lost to them by 3 just two games ago, but Bucks adapted since that last game and we didn't. And we lost Goga in between.

No Goga seemed to hurt us, even though he copped a lot of blame for Giannis getting 41 in the last game on 19-29, tonight Giannis was 11-15 in just 29 minutes, and he was basically unstoppable.

[three3d]

We shot ourselves out of the game in the 1st quarter by, once again, refusing to accept that we're the worst 3pt shooting team in the league.

Mose just sits back and watches, as usual, with absolutely no consequences of any kind.

The Bucks took 12 three's the entire night, 12!

And they massacred us. A lesson to be learned here for anyone who actually cares about playing the right way.

you're an awful poster

He’s actually pretty spot on, they shot 26.1% from the three, Paolo had 7 turnovers it was a horrible game.

[thelead]

So glad we haven’t gone and got a guy like Anfernee Simons who isn’t capable of playing defense

we needed a scoring bench guard before Mo went down... now we need a scoring bench guard and a scoring bench big/wing.

[eyriq]

Paolo with 7 turnovers and 2 assists. Granted his potential assists are probably higher but he was butter fingers.

AB hasn't had a good shooting game in a while, continuing to draw fouls though.

And you're a homer who can't accept reality. You're on here defending Cole D-League Anthony for crying out loud, maybe it's time you find a new sport to follow.

Not a syllable I typed is untrue, whether or not YOU of all people can see it is irrelevant.

Or we could wait till everyone is healthy to evaluate the roster and run it back next year

yeah man glad you agree with the guy that pops in when the team **** down its leg once every 8 games, hides when things are good and never eats crow, then runs victory laps and says how the team/coach sucks and nothing is good at all.

great takes from you guys! hope to see you on ESPN soon!

if you actually stuck around to debate or acknowledge any takes i wouldn't mind what you say, but you tuck tail and run.

you only show up when the team struggles, you clearly have an agenda.

It didn’t look like an actual offense was even being ran tonight. I have no idea how Cole wound up with 9 assist even this game was that ugly.

[SOUL]

imagine thinking the coach that almost every coach and player in the NBA has praised is bad, and the team that almost every media fan, player, and coaches respect as an up-and-coming team with an identity are BAD and you're the right one in that scenario while dancing on the grave of a team that is missing 50% of its roster most of this year while staying in the 4th seed while 80+ point on their team go down.

BUT IM THE HOMER LOL

negativity bait got a grip on the nation

I've followed the Magic since their inception. I also happen to know what real basketball is and what it's supposed to look like, and this isn't it.

We're the worst three point shooting team in the league, and the next closest team to us is nearly 3% better than us. That's literally insane. That's the difference between the 10th best 3pt shooting team and the best team.

I've said it many times, I've never witnessed a team, from any professional sport, play to their weakness the way that we do. That is 100 % coaching and I can't believe a single adult human would argue otherwise. We do not have the personnel to play the way that we do, this is objective.

You were just as bad on the old official Magic forum, it's endless praise for the franchise and any justified criticism is met with yet another of your ludicrous takes.

You simply don't see the team for what it is, you never have and never will. It's so bad, in fact, that I'm nearly convinced your a paid shill for the franchise, that's how slanted you are.

[three3d]

Is KCP the most overrated free agent signing for us? He’s pretty forgettable on the court minus all the missed shots.

What is "sticking around"? Living on this forum like you do? Obsessing over this franchise, and ignoring its faults, 24 hours a day, like you do?

Nah, I'm good. The league has become trash, and this franchise is becoming trash because even our coaching staff is obsessed with hero ball. You can use your generic arguments all you'd like, that certain players have said they want to play for him...that's entirely irrelevant because are the same players who are out there playing the wrong way. I'm sure they do want to play for someone who will never hold them accountable for playing the wrong way. No surprise there.

My argument is fact based, not emotion based like yours. We are the worst 3pt shooting team, and it's not even close. We have a coach that lets us continue to play this way. Again, all 100 percent correct.

This game was over in the first quarter because of this recurring problem, but the season could be trillions of games long and you'd never see it. You aren't capable. You claim this is "once every 8 games", well then, scholar, explain to me how it's so infrequent yet we're at the bottom of the league? Seven out of 8 games we shoot well, yet find ourselves flirting with the 20's in percentage for 3pt shooting on the season.

Something isn't adding up, and as usual, with you, it's honesty and logic.

play which way?? with defense that wins us games?? or are you saying shooting threes? something you need to do in the modern NBA and IGNORING that 80% of our healthy guys are guys who do NOT excel doing anything in the paint, including our bigs.

You were just as bad on the old official Magic forum, it's endless praise for the franchise and any justified criticism is met with yet another of your ludicrous takes.

you must have me confused because i was never on an "old official magic forum", just here and reddit

Sure, same name, same posting style, same terrible arguments, same homerism.

Right, I'm sure you're a different person.

And no, you do not now or ever NEED to shoot three's at the rate we do, or any team does, to win in the NBA, hence why I emphasized the Bucks taking only 12 tonight while bludgeoning us.

Basketball is still basketball, you simply need to score. But that's going to be pretty difficult if you're consistently playing down to your weakness as we do. Again, COACHING.

Gush over this guy all you'd like, he might be a good defensive coach, he might be likeable, but he has glaring weaknesses and it's costing this team. It's also allowing a mostly young roster to develop bad habits.

Standards are so low these days it's just plain sad.

[eyriq]

out there playing the wrong way.

It's one game, every team has a stinker.

My argument is fact based

Your argument is that Mosley is coaching the team to play the wrong way and yet we're fighting for home court advantage in the playoffs. I see no facts.

Something isn't adding up

I agree.

he's slightly overpaid but I think we all knew that. I also think he'll look better with the real starting lineup. That said, it was unfortunate that there wasn't a legit scoring guard available with all the money we had.

???? i signed up on realGM when i was like 15 there's no way i'm on some "old Magic forums" as some 10 year old with the same posting style - unless it's some newer site im not privy to

anyway.. i'm sure you want scott skiles back or some other loser coach that quit on our team

[RookieStar]

The only magic forum i remember was that nba.com/magic... is that still alive?
