So sick to watch Magic playing. Missing free throw, can’t shoot the 3. Magic is showing their weakness on the national TV. I am not sure how the front office people still have the job.

Extend Houstan for $5m/ season and have him replace KCP. Move KCP for a starting PG.

We fought hard but we just don’t have the thoroughbreds. Nothing new, but we need more ball handlers, playmakers, and 3pt shot makers. Desperately need guard upgrade.

They're at a different point in their progress than we are.

Our bench is still a couple years of development away from what theirs is doing.
I'm not saying that in two years we'll be the Boston Celtics, but even if we stand pat with our free agents, we'll be much better in two years, obviously!

All of their guys are in their prime too with tons of experience. The Magic are still one of the youngest teams in the league.

Wager, this is not the regular season where you shoot your way out of a funk.
You gotta go with what's working for you and the three is NOT it!

The Magic have a 0.0% chance of beating a team like Boston if they give up this many offensive rebounds. Simply cannot happen.

I really want to like Goga but his fans here are just **** insane lol. We can't hit threes and the answer is more Goga. Sure.

That'll do it.
Congrats, Celtics.

The Celtics toy with us, anytime we get within 7 they drill a 3 in our face

Boston without Tatum still just better.

Pointless series to watch. Orlando’s roster is inept.

How so? The Magic weren’t expected to win.

Just because they weren't expected to win, doesn't mean you can't be disappointed in the lack of offense outside of the big 2. The awful FT shooting, etc

I get it I just feel like this was expected though

AB looked like he was rushing his 3 pt shots. It's a learning lesson.

You can't let Boston get away with playing any combination of Koronet/Porzingis or Porzingis/Horford. At that point you have to go big and move P5 to the 3 and Wagner to the 2.
