Carter and KCP took 30 shots tonight combined?

Yeah I might just sit out on this team until Franz and Suggs are back.

He could be at least a consistent 6 assist player if he had competent players around him..... His potential assists should be around that number I believe

might be one of the most insane posts i've read lately and i've been forced to read Redwood and people dooming.. lol

"we can do both" .. no the hell we can't lol, these guys are already exhausted from so many injuries, we aren't playing with a top pace in the league and keeping up a top defense.

OKC is 7th in pace, but they haven't had many injuries outside of Chet/Hartenstein and play a bunch of small players. Houston is 18, Clippers 20th.. those make up the top 4 defenses.

we were 15-20 pace team before our injuries from what i remember.. now we have dropped completely because of that.we can get back to where we used to be with people coming back, outside of that... we would have to change our team to copy OKC basically. which includes not having franz/paolo as our main hub.

Nah, somebody needs to take out some ACLs to send a message back to Denver. Put Murray out for the season.

AB seems close with Cole. I wonder if there’s some kind of mentorship at play there? If Cole could teach AB to be just 50% as selfish as Cole is it could be good for him.

Raptors and Blazers next. Then two massive matchups with fellow play-in teams. Important stretch believe it or not.

What a pathetic performance. A bunch of loser basketball played tonight. That was a lottery team, lazy effort.

The Raptors and Blazers can shoot. I am more convinced that no matter who we play, if these are the players we have, we are going to get played out the gym.

Not many takers for you, we might just have to waive you. Magic deserve some good fans for once. Can’t be a championship franchise carrying deadweight like you anymore.

Collapse in 2nd half.

The Magic need to get back on track.

I hope Goga is back for the Raptors. I remember Poeltl going off on Wendell before.

Cole is not the player that should be mentoring young point guards.

That last 3 lost me $350 since -15 didn’t cover lol, at least -10 did.

This team stinks and it might get a little better when Franz/Suggs come back. Our bench still will be booty but hey they play defense hard

I mean if this was the team all year, they would definitely have at least a 6% chance at Flagg I would say. Maybe a little better. But the same would be said for pretty much every single team in the league if they were down 4 of their top 6 players. There's a point where it is just too much to overcome whether it sounds like a lame excuse or not.

You're making it insane, where did I say "top pace"? You're misrepresenting what I'm saying.... We can definitely play up and down and have a top 10 defense
