orlandoholic Posted January 26, 2025 Report Posted January 26, 2025 I just hope our FO is aggressive and adds shooting to this core! We could really have something special if we added Cam Johnson or a guard who isn’t loose with the handle and can playmake. We really needed prime Franz and some phenomenal moments to pull of a win against Detroit Quote
Soul Bro Posted January 26, 2025 Author Report Posted January 26, 2025 Our needs are so obvious... a point guard who can pass and shoot... and a big who can switch and shoot. I think in the playoffs, we could play fast with Paulo some at the 5, so Johnson is high on my list. As we've mentioned, I'm also down with White, Sexton, or McCollum. Love that we got our grit back last night. Quote

I like this board more for real bball talk! I thought you was talking about users on this board, and i never read anything close to that. Loads of excellent content Twitter basketball talk wise. Also alot of nonsense also like some on here sometimes also lol Quote
Luke_FfS Posted January 26, 2025 Report Posted January 26, 2025 This one was much, much, and will say MUCH again needed. Hope is the switch we needed and that we build on that. Quote

Hope is the switch we needed and that we build on that. The “switch” is the effort that Suggs initiated and Isaac’s effort at the rim that ignited this team. Then Franz happened and that was impressive. losing Mo and then Jalen has hurt this team more than any stats could show. Their effort puts the onus on the rest of the players. Quote

I can’t believe someone down voted you for this Jay. There are absolutely posters who say there has never been two forwards who can win a championship on here etc. I stand with Mr Positive Jay………..clowns!!! Go Magic!!! Quote

Love that we got our grit back last night. That’s a pretty great summary of my feelings as well Soul. I was looking at all the players you mentioned after the game also. I think CJ would make a lot of sense as he fits our culture, provides shooting, Playoff experience and has a short contract. I hope we make a move to solidify our team like most board members. 1 Quote

You are 100% right about losing Jalen and MO’s energy. Their impact goes beyond stats. Quote
Shine88 Posted January 26, 2025 Report Posted January 26, 2025 Worst 3PT% by a team over the past twenty years... 1. Charlotte Bobcats (2012) - 29.5% 2. Orlando Magic (2025) - 30.3% The Bobcats won seven games that year. https://x.com/ORLmuse/status/1883199823513637274 Quote

Paolo and Franz with spacing would push us up to top 3 in the east, but that's something Weltman hasn't figure out since he's been here. Quote
