Magicpassion 4 Report post Posted November 6, 2019 I don’t understand this! We brought back the same team + Fultz and a healthy Bamba, added the Chief, many of them stayed in Orlando this summer, youth improvement/strength and continuity. I’m afraid our defense will start slipping as we collect losses. We’re looking like a lotto team right now. I’m not ready to panic, but definitely have concerns.

We need a legit #1, night in and night out, scoring option. This is gonna be a long ****’in season We absolutely could have won tonight even with that shooting if Vuc and Evan didn't go 4-17 from 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the question is how much of this is regression and how much of this is just cold shooting. I don’t think we’ll sustain this cold shooting, but if Ross and Vuc both have major regressions, that kind of hamstrings our team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fan for too long 2 531 Report post Posted November 6, 2019 Give the keys to Fultz he should be our number one option. Drive or dish to open guys and not vooch. Get some dam shooters around him would be nice also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We started 2-6 last year with a worse team and an easier schedule. We should be able to figure it out. Sucks that the Fultz trade is looking like a massive win and everybody else (outside of JI) has gotten worse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,206 Report post Posted November 6, 2019 Fultz needs more minutes, 24 isn’t acceptable. Also, if Ross and/or Fournier keep being garbage then we need to give Wes a chance. We have the depth for Clifford to make in game rotation adjustments for a spark when guys are playing as poorly as our guys have been playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if you completely remove last year (and the injury year because that's not really representative of his play) he's a 10.4 ppg player on 38% three point shooting over the previous 4 seasons. And I fully expected Vucevic to regress to normal levels but he's having the worst season he's ever had as a magic player at least on offense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s1n1st3r12 27 Report post Posted November 6, 2019 Ok so my 2 cents are with the D. AG or Issac can surely guard Gallinari on the wing to get him to score less than 10 points. SGA is a good player but again surely a person who has been in the league long enough (I assume it was Fournier guarding him) could pressure him better. CP3 turned like 50 this year didnt he couldnt he be stopped from scoring 20 points? As for the shooting the guy who (again been mentioned) are supposed to be consistent shooters were poor. Maybe Clifford needs to go back to simple drills like shooting under pressure and smart shot selection. Strip it back and go back to basics just run screen and rolls or run motion where everyone is moving to a good shooting spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've said it a million times, no team giving Fournier and AG significant minutes is ever going to amount to anything. Fournier is complete garbage and always has been, and AG is nothing more than an energy role player off the bench. I said that when we drafted him and he has still yet to prove me wrong. Saying Gordon is a bench player shows a pretty naive view of basketball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
