Magic @ Bulls: 10/31 8pm ET

What a stupid way to loose a game. After a great first quarter, we thought we were superior and we played careless hero ball throughout. The worst game of the season so far should put us right back in our lane.. 
 

Stop talking about being a top 3 seed. If we play this kind of basketball, we are battling for the 8th seed. 

Defense was there, we had some great moments. But Suggs and Franz trying to play hero ball ain’t getting us nowhere. 

Last play of the game sums it up..

I hated everything about that. Stupid offensive possessions. Guys thinking that because they had a couple hot games they can take long step backs and we don't have to play actual offense. Defense wasn't particularly good for stretches. Is Franz hurt? Didn't look himself and barely played the 4th. 

The 4th quarter in general was basketball terrorism. 

No Cole, Jett replaced him and then Jett did absolutely nothing too. 

I know we ask a lot of our guards defensively but KCP has to shoot the ball better on nights like this. He got some open looks and he also passed up some open looks. 

Just a bad one all around. Hopefully Mose gets into them for it.

He’s a whopping 6 - 23 in total fg’s this year. Might as well let AB start instead.

He’s definitely rushing his shot and forcing it at times. I think once he starts to settle down the shot will start to drop. If not I’m convinced Orlando is where all good shooters come to die lol.

Franz has been sick the last two games. He probably shouldn’t have played. We need him big time on offense.

I agree with everything that has already been said. Bulls got hot from 3 and made a run and it seemed like our guys got desperate on every offensive possession and just started jacking up bad 3's. There seemed to be no plan offensively, just 1 or 2 attempted pick and rolls, and if that didn't work, jack up a 3. That is the reason this team shoots poorly. It's not that they are terrible shooters, they just take terrible shots too often.

Not blowing out such a lead with lower teams is definitely something that young team need to learn, happened the same last season too.

That start of season has been a rolling coaster until now, when everything roll we look great, but other times just average. Some of the problems pointed out after the FA are showing.
