Did the mafia get to our players? I'm struggling to understand some of the decisions made

Very disappointing. The Magic really blew this one.

This one hurts as I wanted them to start the season with a winning streak. You have to be up for every game in this league even short-handed rivals.

Paolo first one on LSD. Guy has been dissociated all game.


Mosley has turned the locker room into one big Dutch oven. Allegedly.

Did I miss something, did Suggs foul out? Why was he not in the game when we need a steal? Same with Isaac for that matter cause why not.

While true we also should had a comfortable lead at that point. We played with fire and got burned.

They had no reason losing this game. Simply just an awful. I'm disgusted.

Tyus led us with -9 for the second game in a row. The preseason was the same.

A lot of people played really poorly.

But I still think that Tyus stretch was extremely questionable. -9 in 20 minutes, in for that entire Hawks run. I just don't get it. Definitely not the only reason or even the main reason we lost, but seems like maybe disaster could have been averted.

Aside from Franz and Tristan, lit nobody else showed up. Rough shooting night for Bane. Still had some good plays. With 21 TO and 21-37 from the line?? Your not winning anything.

I expect a bounceback game tom with CHI. Especially from Paolo. That was pathetic. He single handedly lost us this game

I'm wondering if Paolo was the guy the FBI are looking at now. He was totally out of this game.

Hey guess who was our worst player in +/- yet again? Tyus Jones. There is simply no reason to play him if he's going to play off the ball. And mose played him most of the 4th quarter and sat Black...I get that Suggs is on a minutes limit but you cannot have tyus out there defending trae young and then playing off the ball.

This team is probably 2-0 if we just don't have Tyus Jones on the team at this point.
