Still lookibg for a team we have a chance to beat. Hornets is 100% loss tomorrow. Maybe can give Wizards some trouble.

It hurts my heart, but yeah JI is cooked.


I think the refs have scared the Magic away from aggressive defense. Even Suggs isn’t being in your face to his man. And our bigs are just watching from the weak side instead of giving proper help.

That and Cade seems to be having one of those nights where he’s just in top form and has better offense than we have defensive answers for.

He has not been good. Neither has AB. There is really nothing for this team to hang it's hat on.

Mose might actually be on his way to be fired. I’m not saying he should be fired right but if this continues for 10-15 more games with a relatively healthy team he needs to be sent packing.

We play the Hornets and they are better than us offensively. I can see their rookie going off on us.

I thought it was the Wizards for some reason, but my point remains :(

We could give Jase minutes instead of Tyus

God I hate to be this impatient but I’m already done with this season. No longer care about the outcomes. They just miss free throws and turn it over and play horrible defense

Why has the bench not cleared?

At least WCJ just fouled himself out.

If someone gets hurt right now, I swear to God.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.
