    2024/25 NBA Regular Season Thread

    No one does. Not one fan across all the message boards. Would love to hear from Weltman to explain it. Insane

    2024/25 NBA Regular Season Thread

    Portland fans want him gone for expiring, he was 2/14 tonight so would fit right in. His defense is League worst, and makes 26 mill a year. Pretty sure that will put us into the apron next year. It's just too big of a contract. I want Brogdon (22 mill exp) for Cole/Gary and 2 x 2nds or Sexton for Cole/Gary and a 1st. I don't want to wait until deadline to make our ove, we have a chance to really be a top 2 team in the east with a tweak or two. A capable guard off the bench would be our biggest need. Then in a year or two go balls to the wall KCP/WCJ and 4 x 1sts for an Elite centre.

    WTF did i just watch? Our defense is great but we aren't going to go far with this poor of shooting/offense. How can Jett a specialist shooter have only 2 attempts in 20 mins? why not run some plays for him instead of letting JI, AB and our rookie shoot 21 *****ing 3pt attempts. Its honestly so painful to watch. Yes, the defence is great but these wins are mostly coming against teams with lots of injuries. The 1 team we played recently that actually defends was the Clippers and they owned us. Year in year out we are the worst shooting team in the entire league, what gives?

    This was the last thing to go with him, he was always bad at defense and a streaky shooter but his dribble and ability to get to the rim was always great. He doesn't even have that anymore.

    What the hell has Franz Wagner and Cole Anthony turned into. Talk about opposite end of the spectrum. Cole is so far not his own head, doesn't even look playable sadly. A change of scenery might give him a second wind in the league. Its sad to watch

    I have never really been a fan of our front office. The Paolo pick has basically saved their skin. The Jett Howard pick instead of taking Lively is horrid. Jury is still out on AB, but has hasn't set the world on fire. Perhaps the most bewildering decisions was the early resignings of the NBAs 2 most injury prone players (JI, WCJ), when we didn't even need to resign them? Now we can't trade WCJ, who is a backup PF at best! He cant stay on the court, is on 12 million and they gave him a bloody pay rise on the next contract. Make it make sense. We need to trade for C or suck enough to draft that one out Duke who looks great. Why did they give Harris another Contract? 14 million for *****ing Mo Wagner? 13 million for Cole who is unplayable and looks completely out of his depth on the court now. Just poor decisions after poor decisions. Had Jay Huff in our back yard and let him go. Every year we trade our second round picks for cash considerations when every other team constantly finds diamonds in the rough. Hell even Memphis 2 way players are all better than the players Weltham extended in off season. Completely out on Jeff and Co. You watch, they will sit back and use this Paolo injury as another excuse to do ***** all this year. Take both firsts to the draft and trade our seconds, and sign another washed Vet. Rinse and Repeat

    I cant remember a worse player for us than Cole. Maybe Dwayne Bacon? Weltman gave him 13 million a year? wtf. Now were gone have to attach a first round pick to get off that money. He is a disaster and like Fultz as much as we both love them as people, are addition by subtraction.

    It’s just a *****in joke, and a slap in the face to fans who pay their hard earned money for this team. We’re sitting our two highest paid players who ARE NOT INJURED. what’s the pint of this crap. We need to find out if they can withstand the rigours of an NBA season, by continually sitting them out we can’t gauge that and if anything it makes them more prone to injury. At it wits end . We’re not serious about winning. Haven’t been since Welt took over if we’re being honest.

    I would seriously pull Cole from the rotation as well once we’re healthy. He’s been awful all bar first 10ish games of year. I’m ready for him to be traded. Year 4 and he is still a black hole on offense and a turnover merchant.

    I’d be inclined to not mess with that second unit. I’d start Goga. I reckon they will start Ingles but I’d love to see them go with Jett or Caleb to start. Leave Mo and Cole to wreck havoc on the second unit

    MAGIC @ Lakers 10.30 EST - Official Game Thread

    I just don’t see WCJ as part of our core? Does not protect the rim or space the floor. We need to package him up for a better center. He’s too similar toPaolo
  14. Orlando magic HQ, sixth man show, locked on magic, court cousins. They’re all rippers
  15. 100%, didn’t force anything and his 12 point 5 assist game tonight was prob more important to winning than a 30 point game of his last year. He’s a monster
  16. How good is it to finally bring our rookie/s along slowly and not throw them straight into the fire. What Amen was tonight was what our rookies were previously. Difference between winning and losing. Shout out to Cole, I love that guy. He was put on this planet to get buckets. 13 mill a year is a bloody steal. I’m irrationally high on what this team can become as soon as this year.

    The Black rumours are just smart from FO, They know Wash and Utah are desperate for him. Create a bidding war then trade down.

    Great win. What an enjoyable season, bar the first 25 games. Get a couple shooters in draft and it’s on

  21. How good has Fultz defense been this year. He’s unreal . Can’t believe more hasn’t been made of the fact he absolutely contested and affected those last 2 3p attempts from Portland

    Love Mo B and Cole but the time has come to move them on or keep them glued to the bench. Even if Coles shooting percentage wasn’t so bad he would still contribute to losing basketball as he is such a liability on defense. Bamba too. Chuma has regressed on the offensive end but at least he’s a great defender. Keep him.

    Magic at Warriors - Sat. Jan. 7th @ 8:30 pm

    Me either. It’s like when he can’t think about it his shot in pure, then at free throw line or 3pt line when he’s open he goes back to that weird form. Rest of his game is insane though, we just gotta hope he keeps improving that shot. Just needs to knuckle down and nail that mid range even more.

    Magic vs Grizzlies - Thurs. Jan. 5th @ 7 pm

    We’re past the small sample size for Cole now. He’s barely an NBA player, his one thing he’s meant to be ok at is shooting, and he’s one of the worst in the NBA. His defending is a liability. I think we move Him, Bamba and Ross on as we have the assets to build a roster full of good defenders. Having these players on the court just break down your defence, absolute traffic cones. Hard to watch them.
