we DO need some changes...not a huge roster overhaul...but a trade is probably necessary, just one to do SOMETHING...a shot in the arm...and Stan is going to have to break it down to these guys...Dwight gets so frustrated, he really needs to control himself...he's going Rasheed Wallace out there now...

Can't blame Jameer for this. At least not solely him. 8 assists 1 turnover. He did a decent job.
It was the continued break downs on defense that lost it. And Jameer's part of that, no doubt.
And we still had a shot at this game, but the refs just absolutely took control in the final minutes. The fact that 2 of them officiated that Houston game obviously leads to some raised eyebrows.

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.

Thats ridiculous. Hedo has been fantastic. He had a bad game today it happens.

Yeah, he plays all-star level for 20 games, has 1 bad game... trade him... he kills this team.

WTF are you talkin about?? Your crazy if you really think this current roster is actually going anywhere. I doubt anyone else would even agree with you. Your the idiot my friend
Well let's see shall we..
Last year we were 42-40. Currently we stand at 23-15. Therefore we have already "gone somewhere" with this roster...
You clearly expect is to win 82 games and when we lose you demand a trade. You live in fantasy land. Will we win a championship with the roster as it is....no...Can we put a loss to one of the best team's in the West on the road in perspective please?

Will you STFU for once? Get off your fricking Hedo hating obsession. So every bad game he has for the rest of the season you're going to make some point? Then if he has a good game "Oh, we rely on him too much". The guy had a bad shooting game, it happens. He's been struggling with the three for a few games now, Rashard went through the same thing. When it comes again (which it always does) things will be fine. Tonight he missed wide open shots for the most part, missed an easy layup...I wouldn't say he was chucking.

Pretty much. On offense and defense PG play was just incredibly bad. And with Hedo having an unusual bad game we didnt have much of a chance.

We talk a lot about our pg's play but at the end of the day, offensively you have to say that we score enough points pretty much every game to have a chance to win (103 tonight)..
Frankly I think Jameer and Carlos are the worst DEFENSIVE point guard duo in the league. Jameer's height and poor decision making costs him whereas Carlos thinks every pg in the league can't shoot and stands a mile off them directing everyone else where to go..
Our problem is that we don't have a defensive point guard consistent enough to start and play big minutes. Dooling is the cloest to this but Adonal's ball handling is better than Keyon's hence we plays the off-guard more..

We made some mistakes, and that's usually alright, but the problem was that they were mistakes that we do over and over and anyone could see them coming.
In the 4th quarter, I think with about 5 minutes left, Arroyo was running the point and he looks over and sees Nelson walking baseline to check in at the next dead ball.
Immediately in my head I thought "Please Arroyo don't chuck up a bad shot before you go back to the bench."
He immediately takes one bad jumper, the Magic get the ball back later and he takes another even worse jumper which allows his man to run back and get an uncontested layup.
Otherwise though I don't think that Magic played that bad, we just got jobbed by the refs in the final 3 minutes and that changed the tide of the game.
Hedo's not gonna shoot that bad again probably all year, and Anthony Carter is not gonna shoot that good again prolly ever.
