2024-2025 Regular Season Game 70: Houston Rockets (44-25) at Orlando Magic (32-37) - 7pm

Post #141 » by **Knightro** » Thu Mar 20, 2025 12:54 am

The Magic have lost five games at home this year by 15 points or more. Three of them by 20+

Just another embarrassing home beatdown.

At this point you are just trolling. weltman is one of the worst GM in the league and is not a well kept secret, of course it can be worse, but you are looking at the table the upside down.

Team misses Suggs. Defense is just bad. Hang another 100 on Orlando at home.

What is it about the Kia center that got the Magic all shook up? Why are they having a terrible time at home?

What an unbelievably frustrating season this has been. Never been this disconnected from this organization like I am right now in my life.

We are down by a lot, why do we have this lineup?

Something is going on with Isaac, not only has his 3 pt shot fell apart, he hands have become awful & his touch in the paint has been horrendous

Zero defense

4th Quarter AB again?

Rockets running a 7-8 man rotation helps them out

Magic just need better role players and Franz needs to play better

I agree with this criteria:

1. Does the team have enough to compete for a championship? (Defined loosely by being a clear cut top 4 team in the conference)

2. If not, does the team have assets (picks/players/cap space) to make meaningful improvements?

Repeat after making such improvement.

If at any point a team answers no to both questions, the GM has done f'd up and should be fired. (or at least be on the edge of getting fired) A team can sacrifice a couple of years (probably at most 2) of answering no to both questions if they can answer yes to the first question for a few years, this is called a championship window.

Pretty much. Franz slumping right now

His defensive decline has stumped me this season. I was not expecting an offensive jump but I thought his defense would be the same as last year. Don’t know what happened to his game.

Man it looks like a scrum for every rebound and they just end up with it.

Carter keeps his hands down when he defends

If our young guys had Houston’s veteran supporting cast (FVV, Brooks, Adams) how much better would we be? Better than Houston is now?

Can I change my answer?

We can’t get stops and we can’t make shots. Lovely.
