What right do we have to disrespect any opponent like this?

Carter is unbelievably bad. That extension is unfathomable.

Did Paolo choose not to play today? Only 5 shots is quite ridiculous.

Black has 2 full court 3-pt heaves, which will make his stat line worse

The haters haven’t actually been hating. They’ve been spitting facts.

Yeah, players have completely checked out of this season. Signs have been showing for a good while but this game has been the icing on the cake. Zero effort on either end of the court. I can handle guys not having the best game, but the on-court attitudes are terrible. As soon as we find ourselves down in a game it's as though everybody decides to collectively throw in the towel.

Weltman should be out of the door tomorrow and if Mosely can't get these guys back on the same page, he might be following him. You can stomach the offence being bad if you can throw out an elite defence, but when you're consistently awful at both? Yikes.

Again I'm.not watching but this is absolutely becoming a mental thing for this team. They know they suck and they can't seem to break past this mental hurdle. Major changes are needed but I don't trust anyone in this organization to change it. No one cares about the magic outside of the 100 fans they have (exaggerated a bit here), they have been the most irrelevant team in the NBA for over 10 years. There is no pressure on the front office or ownership because they are in Orlando so people will continue going to games (tourists) and they will continue making money without actually putting a legit product on the floor. It really has become a travesty what this organization has become. 2012 and before they were an actual respectable organization but that is all gone now. I get embarrassed to wear my magic gear outside of Orlando now a days because of trash this team is and has been for years. Smh

He was under contract for 2 full seasons… I do not understand why they didn’t wait until this summer to make a decision, especially after what Goga showed in spurts last season.

Think he intentionally shot those after the buzzer. Everyone has been terrible though. Refs included for making this game of Flagg contenders last longer than it should.

This has been the most frustration and embarrassed I've been about this team and I've seen all the tanks

The team just isn't a position to completely tank at this point unfortunately. They could both out and still be in the play in and still get the 12th pick or something like that. They are in the worst possible position...

I just don't see the. Actually firing Mosely or weltman. It just won't happen. They will make every excuse in the book and feed the fans word salad to save face. This starts at ownership. Nothing will change till ownership changes, wether that is for better or worse.

Watching random players hit 3s effortlessly on other teams is heartbreaking

Raptors were up against the Bulls by 16 in the 4th last game and had to sit the starters to allow the Bulls to tie the game, by the end of the 4th. Darko, may have to sit the starters, to get the loss.
