    Tyus in and being terrible and Jase nailed to the bench even tho he’s been solid over the past several appearances is pissing me off. I can’t wait until we get a new coach that knows how to play the best players

    Does anyone remember the youtube video of a 4 or 5 year old little girl who went up on stage during a Christmas play and took the mic from her principle?

    The little girl said, "I am very proud of myself, and my classmates are very nice too, except for this one little boy. . ." The principle grabbed the mic from the little girl before she could say how she felt about this little boy who was in her class.

    It reminded me of today's game. "I, tmf, was very proud of most of the Magic men who played in today's game, except for that one little teammate (Tyus Jones)  :)

    All I know is I once watched Paolo Banchero, Jalen Suggs and a rag tag group of bench players (Chuma Okeke started that game, Trevelin Queen and Caleb Houstan both played big minutes off the bench, our only healthy big was Mo Wagner) go into Denver and win against the full strength Nuggets because they played with effort and heart and Paolo's gravity got everyone else open shots (and Jalen Suggs hit 7 3s)

    And now we're at the point where Paolo + Bane + WCJ + a surging AB + like 4 other bench players better than any combination of Okeke, Queen and Houstan, can't even beat some of these mid teams we've been losing to. Because we're no longer playing with that same effort and heart and togetherness. 

    And that falls mostly on Mosely and his staff, though it does also fall on the best players for not making this work because we've seen it work when everyone buys in. It's not perfect but we won games a lot more convincing and played a lot more passionately and in a way I didn't actively dislike.

    CT, I see where you are coming from. My take on this is this whole messed up way coach Mosley manages the game. There have been quite a few games where the Magic has had a comfortable lead in the first quarter, then Mosley has the stupid idea to sub in with a group of misfits like Tyus Jones + Richardson + Cain + Ji + Penda. There is no scoring with that group, and the opposing team goes on a run with their bench players. I hate it when Mosley has Jones and Richardson on the floor at the same time. That's a recipe for disaster.

    In my opinion, Mosely does not have a game plan. As someone else on this board put it, he starts throwing darts against the wall.

    . . .So just to expand on your statement. I would have preferred a lesser resource trade, there are always a few every year. 

    . . .We need to get below the apron and maybe consolidate the center position. I doubt Weltman or Parker really want to change anything next month.

    You know, I'm not knowledgeable at all about how a basketball team is organized and what is involved in acquiring players for a professional team.

    But from time to time I have seen a term in reference to our team "getting below the apron" made by fellow Magic message board participants--you, hootie249 - CTMagicUK - Luke_FfS and others. So, to make it interesting, I found pictures of 2 guys online--wearing an apron.

    I was thinking that the first guy is holding a clipboard. Whatever "it is below the apron, could it be under this apron?

    SORRY GUYS, I KNOW THAT YOU TAKE SERIOUSLY THE STRATEGIC PLANNING OF A BASKETBALL TEAM  /JUST HAVING FUN: :)

    I’ve never seen anybody get blocked as much as Desmond Bane does lol

    As much as I love Bane and I'm one of his biggest supporters, that's my biggest concern, and of course, he's not the 3 pt. specialist he was when he played for the Grizzlies.

    Yeah, it’s hard to ignore that we went 7-3 and on our only good stretch of the season when Paolo was out. We’re a .500 ball club when he plays, 14-14.

    I'm late to the party. But what I wanted to post, early in the first quarter, was that Paolo dribbles too much. I was not able to post it because I had to step away to handle some business.

    The few minutes that I watched the game Paolo was intent on making a shot. He kept dribbling and didn't keep the ball moving.

    Mosely is an idiot. Playing Jase with Tyus is incompetent all all new levels. Let Tyus and Mosely go and free Jase and the team of both. 

    +1  That was a complaint/observation of mine in a previous game. It makes no sense whatsoever.
