I was so afraid of us going under 500, will stay there for a long time now, maybe for a season

They are daring Wendell to shoot the ball

You always boast about how great this team is and talk smack about other teams on the GB and you come here with an excuse for us getting crushed by Portland while also being 2-8 over our last 10?

Not hard - all any team has to do is hit shots, because we sure won’t.


Seriously. Maybe the Blazers should get 2 FRPs to give Simons to the Magic…

Genuinely I do love the Magic, but this is a rough look. You all need some offense power stat. Thought this team was way further ahead of his growth.

Starting lineup has ONE made three pointer. Just can't win in the NBA if we're not hitting shots regularly.

They are saying Wendell pushed him into Cole.

Paolo is always so upset for foul not been called, like he would make FTs...so funny

Paolo just doesn’t have it from beyond the arc. He’s become an elbow only player.

Maybe our FO watched the past few Duke games and think joining the tank wars for Cooper is worth it?

They aren't garbage, and we're a long way from being in a rhythm as a team.

WCJ/Isaac losing their jumpers, has seriously hurt this team offensively. The spacing is horrendous at all times.

Also why I'm skeptical about Goga's fit as a starting center. I dont think we can get away with a non shooting Center on this team

It was already bad before, but now its 4 players on the opposing team in the paint whenever we got someone with the ball there

Realistically, our team was an awful shooting team who shor 35% from 3 at low volume.

Now we're shooting 30% from 3. There's no scenario we can be a better team in the modern NBA from last season

His shot is so broken right now, can't shoot 3s, can't shoot free throws, missing bunnies, baiting for fouls, and when he doesn't get the call stops playing. Can't stand the way he's playing right now.
