argentinaworldchampion 35 Report post Posted February 1 in my opinion we do have a good team, we will finish with a winning record and probably get to the 2nd round. our coach and roster talent is decent overall the biggest issue with the management is they are really failing with FA - trades - extensions - lower picks. carter jr extension was a mistake. kcp was a mistake. isaac extension was a mistake. black was a mistake. howard was a mistake. jury is still out on da silva, but looks like good value pick. our big 3 is franz (imo he is even better than banchero) - paolo - suggs. mo is our key 6th man. I would also keep goga. the other 10 players are tradeable, but I would still give ab and jett another season to see if they finally develop 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope all gets better after the break. I have watched us play very well without our 3 top players. I think we will do fine the second half of the season. Chemistry will take some time now that banchero and wagner are back. But still we are not in the same league as boston or cleveland. against knicks or bucks I think we have a chance. most important thing is getting rid of the average players we have and go all in for the best PG we can find, be it on the draft or FA or trade 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All Eyes On Me 1,327 Report post Posted February 1 We’re not getting out of the first round if we don’t find a way to steal home court advantage from one of the top 4 teams. At least not with how we’re currently constructed. Boston, Cleveland, New York and Milwaukee are all on a different level than us and it’s even rumored Milwaukee could be a buyer on that deadline. Must be nice to root for a team that’s management cares about winning more than indefinite evaluating 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJZFL 700 Report post Posted February 1 Early game today despite being on West Coast. 5 PM our time. Once again we are favored by about 5 against a weak Utah Jazz team, as we were against Portland. We saw how that worked out. I truly have no idea what kind of Magic team will show up today. We could win by 30 or lose by 30. I would give an equal probability to each outcome. What do you think?

All Eyes On Me 1,327 Report post Posted February 1 KCP a last minute addition to the injury report for “rest”. Could be nothing, but with the deadline 5 days away could be something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I expect a reaction, but I was believing the same against Portland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I expect a reaction, but I was believing the same against Portland. We have not found any sort of consistency in terms of lineups, hustle, and sets since Franz and Paulo have come back. That needs to be firmed up quickly or this team will continue to lose games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,327 Report post Posted February 1 No KCP and No Suggs. KCP is either involved in trade discussions or getting moved out of the way for tonight to showcase Gary Harris and Jett Howard for the deadline. Nothing else makes sense to hold him out for rest, he’s been one of the most durable guys in the league for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is almost never misses a game. We must be getting Fox! Everyone strap in j/k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope it’s the latter because I still have faith in KCP’s 3 point shot coming back once we finally have a legit PG who can run this offense. He’s also a gritty defender who we don’t have to worry about getting torched consistently like some of our other guards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
