2024-2025 Regular Season Game 51: Orlando Magic (24-26) at Golden State Warriors (24-24) - 10pm

[eyriq]

This some of the worst basketball I have seen in a long time.

It's been the worst basketball I've seen for like a month

[Audi]

Everyone is playing like they have covid.

[Idiosyncratic]

The people who want a point guard are right, people who want an offensive assistant coach are right, people who want shooters are right. Their offense is completely figured out and it is not an easy fix. No point arguing over if having a game manager passing to spotting up Franz and Paolo would fix it, it won't. They are several players and tweaks and internal improvement away.

[SOUL]

AB with 4 points in 10 quarters

[Optimus_Steel]

The Magic should have a double digit lead. Game is tied at half. Not a good sign. Offense awful as usual.

[ogmagicfan]

have we had a 1st half where we scored over 52 in the past 2 weeks?

[RichCollab]

We win with defense. Have to keep it going.

[RookieStar]

These boys better play their hearts out knowing trade deadline is around the corner

[ogmagicfan]

Everyone is playing like they have covid.

They might still be suffering from Covid from the "illness" bug that spread around. Long Covid.

[RookieStar]

Even Franz hitch is more pronounced than ever

[Optimus_Steel]

Warriors broadcast team said our offense is like putting concrete in a washing machine

Unfortunately they are right

[eyriq]

AB with 4 points in 10 quarters

What happened to our boy

[Idiosyncratic]

Cole has looked pretty darn good on offense the last two games. They still look awful. He is doing what you would want from a combo guard. Just proof that it is going to take a lot.

Paolo being hurt shooting 20 shots is also huge, but even if he's healthy we know it's still pretty bad.

[Knightro]

Paolo and Franz combined are 1/11 on shots outside the paint.

Like say whatever you want about ball movement, about player movement, about whatever garbage you want to complain about.

The Magic already maxed Franz and are going to max Paolo. They have given both of them complete and utter freedom to do whatever they hell they want on offense, carry as high of a usage as they want to carry, and neither one of them can consistently make a shot away from the rim.

That's the ultimate problem above all else. These two guys just have to be better than this.

And if they're not, this whole thing is completely screwed and dead on arrival.

AB with 4 points in 10 quarters

Gross. He has so much talent but is so passive.

[SOUL]

Franz has a hitch, Cole is hot and cold, AB is on a milk carton, Paolo is trying to shoot his demons away, Wendell is absolutely beyond useless on offense

[VFX]

AB with 4 points in 10 quarters

2023 draft will be historic for Weltman.

[OrlChamps2030]

AB with 4 points in 10 quarters

He’s looking and playing like a little female dog out there honestly. Say what you want about Suggs’ shooting in his sophomore year but he never played scared

Gotta start questioning AB’s mental toughness soon if it hasnt started already

Yeah, that's really it. All the rest is the garnish, they are the main meal.

[SloNick Russia]

This is probably the first time in Paolo's career to go 3 or under FTs in 4 games in a raw, midrange graveyard keeper
