We are COOKED!!!


That’s why the team has to do it for Suggs. They gotta honour him.

Man the magic just have too many issues to be competitive. They are too young, can’t make free throws, no shooters, terrible guard play, no pg, turnover prone. They need more time to cook. This will just be good learning experience.

We're just too flawed. Like Paolo can't do anything with Franz being 5 feet next to him, threatening zero outside shooting. So Paolo can't drive to the right where Franz is. And when he passes it down low, there's 3-4 defenders ready. We're very shook for sure.

Like if we won't try out Goga and Black for matchup purposes, or staggering Franz with Paolo a little bit. Then what's the point if we're not trying to win? Even getting developmental minutes for Jett and Black means nothing when it's down by 30. Nothing.

Worst guard rotation in the playoffs with Suggs..

Worst guard rotation in the league without Suggs

Seriously makes no sense that we put the sane people out there and expect different results… Mosley seriously should be fired… We are so enamored with a culture of smiles and hugs but guy seriously is lost when it comes to making personnel rotations and offensive schemes… There is zero reason why Black, Houstan, and Goga are not playing …

The FO knew shooting is what we needed during the trade deadline and they decided to stay pat. Well, I hope they like what they are seeing now.

Cavs will lose next round, they're a bad match up for us because of the two defensive bigs. We thrive on getting to the basket and they stop that.

They wouldn't even bother guarding either guy :lol:

They'd just double team Paolo and Franz and they wouldn't even be able to get to the rim and create with Mobley and Allen in there.

That's a death kneel for the offense.

Are you watching the game? They are doing the same thing anyway.

Exactly. We are not winning this game. We are at a point where we gotta find something that works going back home.

I dunno how we fix this. The wheels have come totally off and I don't think this front office and coach have the balls to do what they need to.
