About the worst quarter possible
-
I feel like Mitchell has gotten some flack on here and out in the wild for not finishing in the playoffs but man has he been good in this series. Would love to have him on our team
-
What an awesome game. Kind of the opposite of what happened last game where it was close in the end and we had a chance to take control but didn’t. Hoping we can take some mo into Cleveland and pull it out so the national media gets more of a chance to talk about the Magic
-
Hope we bust out the retro jerseys

He hasn’t been great in this series and probably coming off his least promising year. If he was doing it I wouldn’t be asking for it

maaan really wish we had another threat with the ball the we could run something with to free up room for Paolo
-
Without looking I think Cole’s plus minus is probably pretty bad right now
-
I truly do not know what to expect after the previous games. Would like to think we come in with the momentum
-
Maybe no one else has a chance at signing him, but it is crazy that Brunson was just out there as a free agent for anyone to sign

Real sloppy early

Because the players aren’t good at shooting

I know that the front office is more focused on long term and this is just these players’ first appearance in the playoffs… but man it is difficult watching these two games only accentuate all the issues we know the team has had and which were not addressed at all last offseason, the draft, or during the deadline.

and then i watch Mosley talking about not overloading players with information lol..
we‘ll see if that’s a good approach
I think it is a natural thing that Lebron at the end of his career can probably do a lot more in terms of information load than a bunch of young guys in their first playoff experience

So the jury is out on the hire, but I think the actual thing that will hurt them most is all the players and recruits are leaving

Are we just as a team out of gas?

1 hour ago, CTMagicUK said:Look up the history of G league MVP. Only 2 of them have ever been real NBA players and neither of them were guard/wing scorers. It's all well and good scoring 25 points as a number 1 option against worse competition but nobody in the league is ever going to let him be the number 1 option because the bar to be an on ball scorer in the league with any kind of efficiency is super high. Cole Anthony would probably average 30 in the G league.
I’m not suggesting he could score that much in an NBA game ever (though Malachi Flynn scored 50 the other night so who knows). I just wonder why he hasn’t been able to land anywhere as even a rotation or end of bench spot.
-
So Mac McClung wins G League MVP scoring 25 a game… Is he just not athletic enough to guard players? It’s weird it hasn’t translated to any team he has tried to join

1 hour ago, Shine88 said:True. We need that lead guard. If we can get Suggs to give us what Gary Harris gave the Nuggets in his third and fourth season (pre-injury) on offense to match his elite defense, it could do wonders for this squad. But we need to move on from Cole, Harris and Fultz, though.
For what it’s worth, Cole and Fultz both had a positive plus minus.
My takeaway is this was a good get-right game for Paolo on offense which I think has a cascading effect on the rest of the unit. First quarter notwithstanding we showed we were the better team, even despite letting them back in a bit at the end. Ingram was out sure, but they were still in must win mode so I think that is encouraging.

6 hours ago, All Eyes On Me said:I guess it’s better to be slumping now than 3 weeks from now, but yeah, I don’t have a lot of optimism on the playoff run. If we wind up in the play-in, I’m not even sure we make it past ATL or Chicago with how we’ve been playing. It was great to finally see Mose show some emotion and call out the team for poor play.
I’m not even sure I would say we are slumping. The three losses in a row weren’t great but they were also single digit contests against decent to good teams. Admittedly I was only able to watch small parts of some of the games. Paolo has certainly been playing a notch below average tho

Don’t know how well Knecht’s other skills will translate (without even thinking of defense) but the man can shoot and I am interested

I guess it is part of being a young team but this is so disheartening. Hope it makes the front office take an actual look at what the team needs and addresses it.
also I’m out on Franz being a number 2 player on a legit team
