We won a game we were supposed to win. Nothing to take away from this other than we go through the motions far too often.

Why can’t Wendell ever hold onto the ball? Whether it’s trying to get a rebound or receiving a pass, it always bounces off his hands. It’s so frustrating how clumsy he is on both ends of the floor.

The worst part about all of this is the fact that Weltman has no problem with how Mosley is coaching. We’re stuck with a guy who is clueless with his rotations and even more clueless with his play calling.

+1,000,000 well said! I’ve been asking for a FO change even before Hammond was let go. Weltman has been doing the same predictable stuff year after year. All the other teams try and improve even if it’s just minor moves but we’ve always been too scared to do anything besides stand pat and evaluate our current players. We’ve had glaring issues for years that never seem to be addressed which is severe misconduct and would typically warrant a FO change within every other NBA organization except the tragic Magic. I hope the writing is on the wall for Weltman and Mosley because we just mortgaged our future for a team who at this rate may not even make it to the play-in tournament much less the playoffs.

Never seen a team so bad at 3 point shooting continue to jack up 3’s. We need a shakeup bad because this is absolutely ridiculous.

We should be trading WCJ and Goga we need better big men in general.

I’m tired of watching the same offense over and over again. This team has become so predictable and boring to watch. It’s so hard being a Magic fan.

That can’t be it. There’s plenty of stars and no names who come into our building and light us up from 3. I’m leaning towards the type of offense that we run and the lack of ball movement. Guys expend so much energy trying to create for themselves that it affects their 3 point shooting.

Here’s my issue with that logic. We should be destroying these sub 500 teams every game with Paolo, Bane, and AB all healthy. Which we do for 3 quarters until we get into the 4th quarter where this team has consistently given up huge leads. Why does this continue to happen? Part of it has to do with Mosley’s coaching or lack thereof and the other part has to do with the starters letting off the gas and getting complacent by forcing ill advised passes and trying to be the man instead of playing team basketball.

Shouldn’t have gone to OT but I’ll take the win. Too bad we still have the same offensive and defensive problems and wins like this will delay the inevitable.

It’s ridiculous how many double digit leads we’ve given up in the 4th quarter this year. If Mosley only knew how to draw up a play instead of letting our guys play pickup basketball. Also Paolo’s unforced turnovers drive me crazy from his loose handle to jumping in the air and trying to make a pass, he got lucky Tristan cut to the basket when he did or it would have been another turnover.

This team is trash and so is Mosley goodnight.

Wash, rinse, and repeat. This team just isn’t good without Franz. Paolo needs to learn how to make free throws and stop trying to beat his man with that predictable spin move which often times leads to a turnover. This team makes me so mad, they never learn from their mistakes. Also what’s with every team out rebounding us lately? There’s so many possessions where our guys are just standing there flat footed watching the ball instead of trying to box a man out and grab the rebound.

We just suck without Franz and Jalen. Paolo has regressed tremendously this year.

My biggest concern is with Paolo. He fills up the stat sheet but we hardly have anything to show for it in the W-L column. The talking heads have previously compared him to Carmelo Anthony, a guy who puts up empty stats and I must admit they may be on to something. Why is it that when Franz and Bane are on the floor together they are able to play off of each other but when it’s Paolo and Bane the 2 man game doesn’t work? I’m starting to think it’s a Paolo issue and his lack of buying into the philosophy of playing team basketball. This is Franz’s team and you can’t convince me otherwise, we just look so much better on both sides of the ball when he’s in. Unfortunately I can’t say the same about Paolo and it’s frustrating because the guy clearly has talent, he just doesn’t use it in a way that puts this team in a position to succeed.
