mouth piece for the FO so not shocked.. I will say though Lowe should've put some blame on the FO for not helping Paolo/Franz out while also saying this offense of Franz/Paolo Iso isn't pretty. It's closer to 60/40 FO to HC IMO
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

Wiz did win yesterday as 13.5 point underdogs, so we can’t assume anything IMO.

Poole dropped 23 and i'm not sure they've got anyone to pick up that slack unless Champagnie or Johnson or Bub go off

What was interesting about their pop off wasn't that he was wrong, it was that he took a shot at them for not asking questions that they have asked the coach/Weltman repeatedly over the last two years (and played clips of them asking said questions).

So, is Orlando playing the The Washington Generals then?

The line is 14, and gamblers have the Magic covering. That's a lot of points to give, but I guess I agree I "expect" a blowout.

That said, this is a road game for Orlando and there are never easy road games.

We really need to take this game seriously & get this W. We’re basically playing their G-League team.

I hate that Cole moved AB off the ball.

Correct. I’m not sure what people are expecting - that our media calls for heads to roll? To put out a Sentinel poll questioning if Paolo and Franz are really worth max extensions? That worked well for us once.
