We're 2nd in defense, and the Clippers are 3rd.

The Magic are lucky that the Clippers have been equally as bad on offense.

[basketballRob]

I just tuned in... whats with all the doomsday posts?

We were down to 4 minutes in the second quarter left with one bucket. A dunk by AB early in the quarter.

Harden has historically destroyed us in the past so hopefully he doesn’t get going & we need to get Zubac off the boards. Hopefully we can get some easier shots & keep getting to the FT line.

[FFBlitzace]

The Dunn three kinda takes some wind out of the sails, but thank goodness we made a few shots or else this could have gotten away from us real fast.

I still think boos would have been justifiable at the moment the timeout was called. It's a cumulative thing, not just that long stretch of futility during the 2nd quarter. Our offense this season has been pathetic. Are they an NBA team or not. We know you can't score 120 every night with this roster, that's not what we're asking. Just don't be pathetic.

[basketballRob]

It's playoff like basketball.

Both teams play smothering defense. Hasn’t been a ton of wide open misses, but a lot of turnovers from balls getting stripped when players attack the paint.

[basketballRob]

This is the way the Clippers game went last year at this time, and the Clippers pulled away with like 5 minutes left. I think I remember a big night game from Isaac.

That was legendary quarter of incompetent offense from both teams

There was some for sure but I wouldn’t downplay how good these two teams are defensively

[SloNick Russia]

I don't think we can hold thrm to 25% three shooting much longer, they have good shooters

This team is absolute garbage.

From where my expectations were at the start of the season to where things actually are at the end of the season, this is probably the most disappointing season I’ve ever watched in my life.

I just hate watching this team game to game.

It makes me sad that I feel this way. I just haven't enjoyed much this season at all.

Him not being consistent from deep is the biggest issue with his contract extension. We need him taking and making 3’s. He needs to pull bigs away from the basket to give Paolo and Franz some room to operate.

Oh the Clippers and Magic are 2 of the best three teams defensively but the Magic could hardly pass the ball. They showcased their ability to miss every shot no matter how wide open it is, and then clearly couldn't figure out the defensive scheme they were up against.

The Clippers on the other hand couldn't make a layup, couldn't dribble, couldn't finish a fast break, just a combined incompetence I haven't witnessed in a while.

I’m ready for the organization to make some fairly major moves but it hasn’t been ‘all-time’ bad. Maybe you just miss Suggs’ crazy energy (and Mo being crazy)? lol

[ogmagicfan]

love it WCJ!

[basketballRob]

We aren't getting our good shooters shots. We need to get KCP, Harris, Joseph, and Caleb 3-pt shots.

and they not only "hide" guys like Harden and Powell, but they magically turn them into competent team defenders...we could too - team defense is where it's at, not defense-only players. We can hide a couple of guys that can put points up on the other end.

Relative to expectations coming in? I think you can make the case it has been one of the very worst.
