I guarantee neither of them learned anything from this disaster.

By the end of the game you should have an idea what plays are working today, yet we are in a panic mode again and Paolo is never afraid to kill his team
Just a disaster season
And please announce Suggs out for season already, his is day to day for over a month

BS. He’s 1 of the only 2 on this entire team that can create a good look for himself. Who the hell else you want taking those shots in crunch time? KCP? WCJ? AB?


Team fell behind in the 1st quarter because Paolo was forcing and not including the rest of the team. They recovered without him. They built a lead when he was fresh in the 3rd but Mosley kept him (and Franz) on the court for almost the entire 2nd half. They were gassed and their shots were flat and falling short.

Paolo doesn’t want to be a PG but when the entire defense collapses on him he needs to consider passing instead of foul hunting.

Would have been a nice win that went a long way towards recovery. Would have been.

I made the conscious decision to not watch this game because my nerves and emotions are shot right now and I didn't think it would be wise to be getting worked up over a basketball game. It was the right call, but unfortunately it's impossible to ignore it entirely and not check the result. I've been doing this my entire life. If there was ever a time to finally learn how to shrug off the results of this god damn sport then right now is certainly the time to do it.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

That’s it.

Cole was running an effective offense for once and we just went away from it to go to something that did not work in the first half. Just brain dead basketball.
Cole had the ball stolen from him after the inbounds play in the 4th, may also put a loss on him

i mean paolo shooting didn't do us any favors but i can't really go too hard on him when he goes to the free throw 13 times he's attacking at least....the problem was execution and we didn't execute tonight when we needed to....lost by 1....missed 8 free throws

This loss is going to sting for a minute. Cuts deep, makes you ask yourself why keep watching this team implode on itself.

Rational people know this isn’t a good team and that Mosely is a lousy coach. Needs to be blown up. But Weltman is the GM, so we’re stuck.


I think people need to calm down a little bit. The Magic are a young team with their best players below the age of 24 and made the playoffs after a 3 year rebuild. No rational person should be calling for a rebuild.

Dang Mosley, don't make me turn on you. We have our core guys, but they need to be brought up the right way. We can get rid of the coaching staff, GM, before Paolo, Franz, Suggs.

Very demoralizing loss. Type of game a lottery team plays great deserves to win but losses because they crap the bed being unable to execute and lack intangibles.

People need to calm down blaming a particular person for this loss. Everyone seemed to have a role in this loss. Franz turnover, Cole turnover, Paolo missed timeout, Franz missed rebound, no one can make shot, Cole being hunted on D.
