As usual, Magic fall apart at the end. . .

offense with Paolonis bad offense. defense with Paolo is bad defense. clearly a max guy

WCJ has been Minnie’s best player tonight

Good thing Black wasn’t on the court - he escapes blame for this collapse.

That's game... the miscommunication is just ridiculous

He shouldn't be shooting 3s.

Yep back to ISO Paolo, he can't help himself.

The poor bloke has Dell as his Center

More competitive game than I thought, but you when you realize it is literally only because Houstan unexpectedly put up 18 on 9 shots with 4 steals I don't know if there is really that much to take from it.

not a good 4th quarter for him but he kept us in the game up until the 4th. Can we talk about Franz' efficiency too?

Having WCJ pop when he's shooting 21% is absolutely coaching malpractice

kinda cant help it because him popping gives more space in the paint for Paolo & Franz, and hope the defense somewhat respects it

Franz, that was embarrassing.

Not like anyone else cared to make any shots.

Nah he was on the court during the Wolves run and Magic drought. Couldn't dribble, missed layups, lack of assertiveness, not controlling the offense.

Gary Harris summoned to save the night. He’ll get us through this.

4th quarter collapse on a back to back makes sense

Post #159 » by **Bensational** » Sat Mar 15, 2025 2:25 am

Yuck guys. Yuck. Ant walking into a layup over Paolo and then Franz getting swatted by McDaniels. Ugly way to let the game get away.

JF5 · Post #160 » by **JF5** » Sat Mar 15, 2025 2:25 am

Franz is just not used to defenders like this on the perimeter
