Wendell has started this game about as horribly as I can remember any Magic starter starting a game. 3 turnovers already.

Yeah, Dell is a freakin rollercoaster man

Embarrassing from the starters. Just like the Grizzlies game, if you only take an NBA team serious for 10 minutes, you’re going to lose. Hopefully the bench can turn us around again

Stop me if you’ve heard this before.. the starters have come out sluggish 

Yeah what is this with terrible first quarters?  We’ve clawed our way back in recent games, but as someone else said, it’s kind of playing with fire.  Sooner or later we’ll get burned

If we continue to play with low effort, we are going to loose this one. And the schedule ain’t doing us a favor. 

This team needs to understand that they can only win with high energy. We are not a star team that can casually win a NBA game

not gonna lie. we need to bench WCJ and play Goga in this one!

You mean missing from 3 feet away?

yeah   also, you could see he was taking the shot from the get go. Did not look for anyone else.      and then the pass that the announcers called him on. which was surprising    they are usual all on team cole.    surprised that they called him out

I see the familiar trend of horrible first quarters has continued against the high school team they are playing today. Allowing this team to shoot 55 percent while surrendering 29 points is totally unacceptable on multiple levels. And what's up with Wendell? He is a turnover machine out there today. As someone here mentioned recently, how long can we keep playing with fire until we get burned?

Cole’s game has fallen off a cliff. He’s unplayable. AB should be getting his minutes

I agree.  Not sure what’s happened to him but his confidence looks like it’s gone

Thank goodness for the bench. Right folks?!
