Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted October 13, 2018 Yeah this isn't good anymore. It was fine when the score was close. Not convinced it means anything beyond tonight but it's one of those things that is a problem as soon as it's a problem in the regular season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've stopped playing defense and are just going through the motions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

~O~ 565 Report post Posted October 13, 2018 I stopped watching after the last post and decided to cook. The Spurs made a halftime adjustment. The Magic did not. That's another thing to look forward to going into the regular season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I mean I'm not sure what you do. Hard to tell if it's Clifford's schemes or just ball movement getting guys open shots but they were just all missing. Good to see Bamba scoring now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are nowhere near good enough to just blow off the last preseason game when things aren't going their way. Certainly not a good game in terms of establishing an identity as a team that others won't want to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were playing well defensively even to open the 2nd half, but the misses continued. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hallmark of this Magic team past few years is that when they hit a rough stretch they fall apart. They need to play hard even if the shots aren't falling, develop some mental toughness.
