After all the expectations are supposed to be higher for the Magic this season. With that being said it is a major concern to keep surrendering huge leads game after game. Just stating the obvious here that they need to clean a lot of things up if they hope to be a contender. We're not a contender.... We're a rebuilding club that's trying to develop young home grown talent. The sports world predicted us to be a 20-25 win team this year. So far we have shown improvement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To surrender another 25 point lead. Clearly that won't come close to getting it done on any level. The win is nice and all, but they need to get it in gear. It got it done at the nba level tonight.

To put teams away you need to have that focus and killer instinct. This team doesn't have that right now. Hopefully in time they will. But we put them away... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We recently beat the Spurs in San Antonio. We’ve already beaten the Celtics. Turner may just be proven right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted November 10, 2018 Games where we stumble into wins like the Memphis game last year and the Philly game from a couple years ago where we won after they flagrantly fouled Ibaka are bad wins where we didn't deserve to win. This was just a game of runs. It's how we need to win games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We aren’t gonna win many pretty games but I think everyone (well most everyone) understands this. I definitely know they are far from being a contender. I have them winning no more than 22 games this season. I just want to see a team that gets after it on a consistent basis and players who hate to lose. I want to see some emotion. I want to see players foaming at the mouth as they dive for a loose ball like it's a piece of raw meat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted November 10, 2018 Solid win. That said, I really hope we can some day get a guy that can create his own shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're playing on hard difficulty missing that and our lack of a great distributor in the guard spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
