How many years are you going to give AG? He is what he is at this point.

At the half, our 4 highest paid players (about 75 million total this year) have gone 4/25 from the field and 1/11 from 3 for a total of 16 points. Yeah.

It would be a good time to trade him for DLo. I think they have to wait until December though

5 points is hardly insurmountable, but Vucevic and Ross just gotta play better than this.

Not the best half and The Magic are lucky to be down only 5.

If he doesn't get fouled there, he gets blocked by two people, and Isaac was wide open at the 3 point line.


And Isaac was open cutting to the basket just before that. Instead, Augustin tries his luck against two defenders. He has no vision or passing instincts.

If we can get DLo for AG and something other than JI and Fultz, I do that all day long.

If one or two players are inept, you blame the players. If the whole team is inept, you gotta look at the coach.

We better pray that Isaac/Fultz turns into something special because this feels alot like the Miami heat team that got duped into paying Waiters/James Jonhson/Whiteside a **** of money off of a contract year.

There is zero resistance once their guards get past the initial defender. Our help defense has been ass so far in this three games. Vanvleet and that chubby PG of theirs are the only two guys that can create off the bounce. We have to do a better job keeping their guards in front of us and not allow them to break down our defense. Our defense was slightly better in the 2nd quarter but they were also missing shots that they are capable of making. Cliff needs to be quick with pulling the plug on the SL if they get off to a slow start in the 3rd.

We have an opportunity to steal this game if we can somehow find our offense.

Much needed points by Evan. This offensive chemistry and combos needs alot of work
I still believe in Magic! Welcome to the Franz & Paolo era

I’d rather have post up AG than dribbling around the perimeter waiting for three ball screens.

It's time to unleash Khem. Not sure what the minutes distribution looks like but we need his energy, defense and athleticism.

It’s the defense of JI and MCW that actually keep us in these games it seems.

How many years are you going to give AG? He is what he is at this point.

Evan had the same treatment and we held on too long, AG is more usable though of course.
