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 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.


Yup this times 1000000.

And I still am for making some tweaks, but that is a huge issue and they won't be elite until those two improve on that.

They also need Suggs back, but man if you need every single player healthy to beat the Jazz, Blazers, Raptors and Warriors then you are a pretender anyway.




They are also going against two or three defenders because they don’t respect the rest of the team. No threats.

Paolo + picks + filler for Steph? Kerr has experience coaching Paolo.


You forgot the green font, right?

I'll stop being a Magic fan if that happens. Steph is cooked

Completely agree, but they can't make wide-open spots ups at a good enough clip right now either.

This is really not a complicated thing.

The guys the Magic are paying to play like stars simply aren't doing that.

And if they don't, this team just isn't going to have any success.

We should be up after the terrible scoring from GS in the first half. Now we are falling behind.

No heart.
No fight.
Just nothing.

Flat, effortless slop.

And it’s coming from a team that fought their asses off earlier in the season. This is shaping up to be a bottom 3 season in Magic history for me.

We’re shooting 15% from 3 3/19 and 35% from the floor.
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

Mosley is not happy with AB. I don’t think the kid has long left on the team.

Inexcusable.



This is something that needs to be continually said every day.
