Hats off to our guys though for fighting back from that huge deficit all game long. I was just able to rewatch the 4th quarter (that’s when I turned it off) and I admire the heart/hustle every player showed out there. Cole Anthony hitting his first game winner looked natural too and the first of many for him in a Magic uniform. Hopefully this game lights a fire under our guys and we come out strong tonight.

They have no strategy outside of drafting long wingspan guys who have some sort of previous serious injury, can’t shoot, but have tons of “potential.” Basically like throwing a wet paper towel against the wall and hoping something sticks lol. All their moves have been predictable and mediocre at best up to this point. The team clearly lacks a shooter/go to scorer and we repeatedly draft/sign guys that don’t address that glaring need for us.

Love how management finds non shooters to construct a basketball team. This is atrocious to watch. We always find the worst role players to put around our best players and then we wonder why nobody ever wants to stay.

That’s what happens when you have years of mediocrity and are tired of the same regurgitated nonsense. It’s still early in the season and yes injuries have screwed this team over this year but it’s the same old song/dance and we are fed up with it.

I’ve known it’s Alex Martins fault because the Devos family gave him free reign to make basketball related decisions he had no business making. I even brought that up and got told by other posters I was wrong it was the GM’s fault. If we look through the history of the Magic and our ultimate shortcomings there are 2 contestant factors. Alex Martin’s and the Devos family. We’ve changed multiple coaches/players and yet we still come up with the same results over and over again. Once both of those are gone we will be a competent franchise. Until then be happy with resigning Vuc/Fournier type players and trading away the meaningful assets. I’m still a die hard Magic fan but definitely not a believer in this Regime.

Your boy Buddy Hield wouldn’t be a bad option either. Not sure what his contract looks like though.

It’s going to be interesting what kind of lineup we roll with and what the rotations will be with all these injuries. I imagine Clark slide to start at the 4 tonight with Birch playing some backup PF possibly.

Would love him here! Got to meet him a couple of years ago at Disney with my son. Got a pic with him and everything. Real stand up guy and a hell of a vet. If we could get it done without sacrificing too much I’d be all for it.

I saw some flashes last night and it isn’t uncommon that a player just needs the right system/opportunity to make it in this league. Hope we get that luck and Bone turns out to be a stud.

I enjoyed Briscoes tenacity while he was here and he’s Kyries cousin that has to count for something lol. On a more serious note I liked what I saw from Bone last night. He wasn’t afraid to be aggressive and found the open man most times. I think we could be ok with him running the backup point but MCW can’t be out for long or we will be in trouble, unless bone is the next unknown name to blow up. We are way overdue for one of those so hopefully it’s the latter.

Bring back Briscoe!

MCW is hurt as well and will be out the next few games. It’s going to get interesting how we run this PG rotation. I expect AG to run a lot of point forward.

These strength and conditioning coaches for the Magic are looking highly suspect with all these injuries piling up.

Yeah there goes our season with it. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was a torn acl. Hoping for a speedy recovery. It’s Cole Anthony time.

Whelp there goes our season smh
