Sengun is really good but I'd like to believe JI would be able to slow him down considerably.

You know, a forum poster shouldn’t be able to identify this before the coach…

Did Goga suffer brain damage?

Man this is rough. Dame really could have put us all out of our misery if he hit that game winner.

no one off the bench has more than 1 bucket scored

Agree. But what about Jett getting booted from the rotation for the corpse of Gary Harris

The roster AND coaching can be terrible at the same time.

Paolo the stepback corner triple isnt going down, especially when you already have 30+ mins in the 3rd

Gotta try something else (hard to do I know sith our personnel)

Paolo is the problem

Paolo has blinders on now. JI with 3 steals in 9 minutes.

These rotations are pretty rough

Hes really forgotten how to play

Starters aren't really getting it done either. Lineup with Franz/Isaac and bench was the most effective. Paolo is team worst -13. Not singling him out just saying even the lineups with the "scoring" are getting cooked.

Controlling the defensive glass is mostly effort over skill.

And it's a coach's job to get his team to play with appropriate effort, heart, pride, whatever way you want to describe it.

The Magic don't have that anymore.

After 3 quarters, the only stat of his that changed is his +/-, which is now -9

You do not dislike him enough

I wouldn’t even pick up Gogas option at this stage

Funny you mention it but even those are looking great, everything’s just rimming out weirdly.

It's the correct decision. This is a tough business. Weltman doesn't deserve the opportunity and Mosley's can no longer get the group to do the effort things he's been beating into their brains for the last 3 1/2 years.

I think they just don't have the personnel to compete right now. Their is a thin line between winning and losing. We didn't replace Mo's production off the bench, and we didn't replace Suggs.
