Ease up, Jay. That's not nice. We've all said things throughout this game that may have rubbed someone else the wrong way, such as: calling a player trash or get rid of a certain player(s). But we still love and root for the Magic. Ease up, okay?

Fultz needs to stop passing the ball when he makes it all the way to the rim. Lay it up and either finish or draw the foul.

Harris is absolutely useless player.

i'm working on a movie shoot in NY I'll probably get fired tomorrow cause I'll be distracted by this game LETS GO!

Round 1-2024 Playoffs Schedule VS

Yep. AB should play regardless i feel

Actually I've no problem with Isaac starting if he feels good enough, except the fact that this lineup has no experience playing together. But it's an option, giving Wendell inconstency. My main issue is how we manage rotations later. The same Isaac, or probably Franz, should go out early to be back with the second unit (playing Cole more with starters to avoid his hero ball?). No lineup should be made by reserves only, and I believe even better if at least two starters are always in. Having depth is good on regular season, but in playoffs you don't play 10/11 guys. Also, Moe and Ingles together are a big big defensive hole, so if the choice is play both, please stagger their minutes.

So last night is what I was talking about with D Low. I think he would frustrate us as fans. He looks good on paper but not in reality.

Now, now, Fan. I think you and Crazy Horse are the 2 funniest posters on this board, but that was not funny. :) Sounds like because Joe missed the technical shot, you are blaming him for the outcome of the game. Shame, shame!!!! When we win this series and Joe plays a big role in the outcome, everyone will be singing his praises. Book it!

I'm out of votes for today. But I'm giving you 2 thumbs up. Edit: And the bolded part was funny.

I didn’t like Mosley’s rotations tonight. You can’t play 10 guys in the playoffs unless all 10 guys can play. Fultz, Cole and Ingles were AWFUL. We can’t run an all bench lineup. One of Paolo or Franz needs to be in the game at all times.

83 points in an NBA game in this day and age. Pretty hard to fathom.

Quit whining you pussies and cheer your team!

Now if no changes are made that most of us here are seeking then it will certainly lead me to question just how serious they are of building a contender.

Magic fans we all must realize that this is a very young team with little to no previous playoff experience. Add to this the fact that they simply do not have any kind of 3-point shooting. This allows the opponent to pack the paint and force us to beat them from outside. And even more of an issue is having Paolo be the primary ball handler because we don't have a solid point guard. It will work well in the regular season for the most part, but unfortunately there will be struggles in the playoffs. We are simply not quite there yet as far as making any type of serious playoff run. A point guard upgrade and a couple of good shooters will help to elevate this team. Now does that mean that all is lost for this season? Absolutely not! Stranger things have happened before. But if we do go on to get swept or lose in 5 perhaps it will force management into making the necessary changes.

Honestly whatever happens now this season has been a success. I view this series as a chance to really expose every flaw we have for the off-season.

Hope we can come out in the second half and turn all these frowns up side down.. enough with the would of, Should of, could of.. this is what we got right now! it’s the first half of an away game 1for a very young team! Only down by 12 shooting 32% Everbody In!!

Here goes Cole forcing ish.

Still settling in.. at least we are not down 20.. I feel a run coming

Paolo is trying to make some difficult shots. Forcing them and while surrounded by defenders. We need to play fast and pass the ball instead of going one on one.

The difference in this game so far is the guard play. Cleveland has 2 lead guards to Orlando's 0.

I think the Magic should keep their 2nd round pick, and use it on Caitlin Clark.

TMF, you rock!

Happy to see the Heat and Warriors going fishing, wish LeBron was joining them. I'm hoping someone knocks Boston and Denver out and someone new can win it all. Why not us?
