KCP and WCJ in the postgame in response to our second half woes: “we gotta come out of the locker room sooner and get warmed up.”

lol yeah that’s it guys.

LOL, this is a good observation. We quickly use losses to fuel personal agendas


Using these losses to push agendas to acquire guys who have been losing their entire lives on rosters in better shape than our current roster is :crazy:

I can’t muster the energy to post right now due to the team’s play and some of the wild takes I’ve been reading lately.

I honestly think our negativity just has to do with how tired we are of being such a horrible offensive team. With a fully healthy roster or without, this team cannot shoot. We are going on multiple years of this.


Healthy team = more wins and nobody cares as much about shooting. And then it becomes easier filling in the cracks (hopefully) if and when Weltman move to acquire people. Now it's just hoping 3rd stringers catch fire and waiting for Paolo to knock rust off.

This & continuing to do nothing about it given picks, trade market and cap space.
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

The Magic need to explain what is happening. He goes out with a hip injury, rips his shirt. Then they say he has a concussion?? Makes no sense.


Concussions can cause light/noise sensitivity

I'm assuming thats why he's not at the game




They haven’t discussed how he got a concussion


I remember him getting hit in the head before getting hit later in the game. Maybe they caught the concussion late?

Either way some clarity would be nice

I’m hoping he didn’t go in the locker room and slam his head in the wall in anger.

This team has been hurt all year. This team should be a few games under 500. But they're not. They need to get healthy first.

We could miss the playoffs and he'd still avoid the hot seat.

He's not. He's winning in spite of injured players.

I feel bad for Mosely. He had the hiccups during the Boston post game, and he had a nervous tic in today's post game.

I mean being realistic they are missing 4 of their top 6 players and people are spouting about need for additions. Guys like Simons and Sexton lose all the frickin time as is, we aren't winning currently with one of them when we are still missing Franz, Suggs, Goga, Mo, Paolo playing into shape. Just funny is all. Doesn't mean they couldn't be good additions, it's just so pointless to fixate on right now.

I'm not a fan of Caldwell-Pope, Isaac, Wendell, Cole or Jett. I don't think this front office is perfect. I just also don't absolutely need a trade to happen and can recognize there is very little to gain from analyzing these games when we are this hurt.

I think a lot of fans are overly reactionary and it goes for all sports. It's OK though sports are just a fun outlet outside of real life stuff, and like I always say it would be boring if we all agreed on everything.

Yeah, like right now after three blowouts the natural reaction is to say "something needs to change!". Fortunately there is an immediate and drastic change on the horizon with Franz returning. And then two more drastic changes in Suggs and Goga returning. Health will be enough to get us back on track.
