I remember when people wanted FVV last year and I said he'd be cooked within a year of signing that contract. This guy can barely get around Goga on the perimeter at this point.

Magic is the best team in the NBA on opp off rebounds with 9 per game. Yet the eye test lately seems lile we get killed there every game.

We really need to prioritise trading or drafting C in offseason before PG. our 3 centers are all so bad it’s not funny. Our best one, gets 25

I still feel like we need to address the PG position before the center but both positions are problems.

Can someone on this team please step up their shooting. Please! And rebound.

The difference is our players waiting for the ball to drop in their hands on a rebound and Houston players are moving to get it
Just lack of effort and awareness

If the team is run anything like how I run my 2K teams, I hope they use an offseason training session on Paolo’s rebounding.

So was Houston saying Orlando is what they wish we were last year?? They are better this year and we were better last year. Let's see how this plays out for a few more seasons before we declare that.

I like how Houston actually added quality veterans but how good would this magic team actually look if they had said vets like van vleet & Brooks or Adams....
