Let's Go Magic!

Took me a minute to recognize AG.

[SD2042]

I forgot Jeff Green played for the Magic. That's how forgettable he was to me.

[PrimeThyme]

Bamba is going to be the death of me.

I forgot Jeff Green played for the Magic. That's how forgettable he was to me.

He's played for 10 different teams, 11 if you count Seattle.

Bamba is going to be the death of me.

He is miserable to watch. Cole is too.

[RichCollab]

Tank on!

[PrimeThyme]

Disgusting start to the game. Franz can be too passive at times. He needs to just go up for that layup instead of throwing that down to WCJ there.

[basketballRob]

Got to laugh at Gordon.

Never do a drinking game based on Wendell being hit in the face. Goodness gracious.

[RichCollab]

WCJ’s face is a magnet for contact.

[PrimeThyme]

Suggs has to be better in these end of quarter situations. Made a bad pass on the inbound and then forced a bad shot out of a double team instead of finding the open.

I just hope Mosley is in his ear. Our young guys need to learn. I understand he is the cool players coach, but we need accountability especially with our young guards.

[RichCollab]

Is Mosley done with Bamba this game? The leash has definitely been shortened.

[PrimeThyme]

Honeymoon season is almost over for Mosley.

This game thread will be lucky to crack 3 pages.

Honeymoon season is almost over for Mosley.

Nah.

[SOUL]

The wild swings from "We're winning too much and at least the guys are competing" to "Mosley sucks and we have no future" is funny to observe here. The truth is probably in the middle. It's literally all about personnel and team building. We've seen great players make the worst coaches look competent and good coaches crash and burn with young/inexperienced roster. Mosley seems like a decent coach, has his warts but I frequent different boards/sites and I'd say 95% of fanbases complain about their coach being bad at one point in the season.

[PrimeThyme]

Nah.

I’ve refrained from saying a single negative thing the entire season. I was high on the hire. There have been positives.

But next season, at least for me, I think I’ll be ready to start making some evaluations on the job he’s done so far.

I’m not suggesting that he should be on any sort of hot seat, but if this young core remains intact, I’m going to be looking to see some growth as a team.
