Will Portland drop 120 on our amazing defense?

AB is so disappointing. Mosley clearly states he's at his best when he attacks. He's in the starting lineup and does absolutely nothing. Just says a lot when you don't even attempt to be aggressive.

Weltman is the problem and he has a lot of human shields to protect his job. It will take a LOT more terrible basketball for ownership to pressure him into a ton of panic moves to save his job, the moves won't pan out, Paolo will bail and then Weltman will get canned.

“Jett Howard throws one out of bounds”

Oh he made an errant pass? No, that was a 3pt attempt.

Hopefully this is the lowpoint of the season.

The Magic are now under .500 after a blowout loss.

Averaged less than 100ppg in the month of January. Everything’s fine.

He has zero confidence. Seems like a mental thing that may he not be overcome. Some guys just don’t have the right demeanor. Maybe he is one of them.

I HATE Mosley’s offense but this is 95% on Weltman and Parker. No excuse in 2025 to have a team that is dead last in 3pt shooting percentage by a wide margin if you are not explicitly tanking.

The lack of aggression from AB is such a red flag

Can you Orlando residents put pressure on Weltham or Parker if you see them out in public?

Voice your displeasure for the sake of everyone. Enough is enough.
