2024-2025 Regular Season Game 61: Golden State Warriors (31-27) at Orlando Magic (29-31) - 7pm

[SOUL]

Those refs were genuinely atrocious though. I barely blame refs but that was so bad.

Our offense wasn't even bad today outside of the 3rd. Shot 50% + and hit threes.

Curry and Post destroyed us

Don’t ever talk about Jett Howard as NBa player dude is legit cheeks. KCP is a fraud, Cole is who he is.

This team needs 4 fresh new faces next year

[Knightro]

For the most part, I actually do like Mosley.

But...

This whole thing, the whole concept of the Orlando Magic under his coaching tenure has been built around this ambiguous concept of playing "Magic Basketball"

Effort. Energy. Physicality. Defending at a elite level. Rebounding at a high level.

Mosley's entire thing is really culture and togetherness and rah rah. There's no X's and O's to fall back on.

And if you can't get the players to do those basic tenants of "Magic Basketball" consistently anymore, than what do you really have left?

And yes, of course Weltman shoulders a huge share of the blame for not giving Mosley a particularly well built roster to have success offensively, but at some point there has to be some questions asked of all the other non-offense stuff not being where it needs to be either.

We got sold a lemon

Anthony Black 2-10 from the field, 1-4 from three, 2 assists and zero free-throw attempts in 20 minutes...weird you didn't mention him.

We lost, so I guess you'll be posting for another day.

All we do is lose so I guess so.

Hopefully, you keep posting after wins, too.

actually jett was alright to me tonight....he was doing what he is supposed to do hit threes and then the rest of his minutes somehow we were unable to get him another look....somehow....i mean he was standing in a corner doing nothing....this offense sucks man, the way we play makes things so damn hard

Jett is lucky Bronny got drafted.. he gets to avoid all of the Nepotism talk.

I don't think KCP is necessarily a bad player. But it was foolish to think we were a place he could thrive. For as much as Weltman likes to tout the human element and the intangible aspect of things, he made that move 100% on theory. Real life sense could have told you that move had a high fail rate. He's a rigid shooter that doesn't create his own space, and yeah he's been mostly good in the more recent half of his career, but he spent his early years not shooting particularly well. Take away the Jokic factor and place him on a league-worst offensive team and it just won't translate. But on paper, it was like, "he fits our defense and will give us shooting, what a genius acquisition." Paper showing once again that it is not real life.

Weltman is a guy who voluntarily goes to one leadership seminar, falling asleep through half of it, catches the end of it and suddenly thinks he has mastery of the human condition.

[SloNick Russia]

Moe was like our top 4 offensive dude and Suggs is the soul. So many our guys just too scared to be real NBA players. Bench is dead and smells like it.

The guys he depends on for that energy don't play and nobody has stepped up into those energy roles. We have a bunch of sulking bigs, raw kids and **** veterans left to pick up the slack while Franz and Paolo are still figuring out how to be consistent stars.

i don't think that's what he meant when he said that but it doesn't negate the fact that KCP is indeed a lemon

If wholesale changes in the front office aren’t made this offseason I may have go find another team to follow.

Hope that is just the emotions talking.

If ownership doesn’t care why should we?

Well the club is more than ownership isn't it? Dunno, I am a "support the badge" supporter, maybe something to do with soccer/football supporting.

No. It’s not. I can’t sit idly by and care about a franchise that does not give a shít. I hope it never comes to that, but this franchise is a disaster.

I understand the frustration for sure! In football this is where the fans make enough noise for the owners to want to sell. Support the Orlando Magic, not the Devos family. All your choice of course.

Yes, he doesn't have a fight in him, daddy always got him free playing time and sold us on his potential

It wasn’t exactly what he meant.. just funny with how tonight went.. but it’s an interesting point.

Jokic or LeBron will make almost any NBA caliber guard look good. The Lakers and Nuggets find Reaves and Braun late in the draft.. meanwhile we sign the guy they are replacing for 22 mill a year

Why? We need the lottery.
