Tristan is a good player 

And should be in the lineup every night.

Wendell is now OUT!!

Right knee tendonitis

Hey guys i'm watching the game on my phone and i just have to say. WTF? Goga and Wendall? Didn't we just sign them? How, where what? 

Wendall just hiding his injury to get paid. Living in Denver now i feel like Murray did this to the Nuggets. No way Jamal has been this bad this long unless he is injured.

Jalen's defense has been elite so far, and I'm not saying that just for tonight. But his playmaking is still a long way off. He pushes the pace of the game at a speed that hurts us in offense and generates transition situations in defense. I would like to see more of AB in charge of the offense, if he is going to take Paolo's place in the starting five. I think AB is doing very well in that regard.

Super hot take and i don't care how early or how it might be our team that guy doesn't play the first game Paolo goes down......just no respect anymore.

He is gonna be a mini Bynum. Injuries, yes for real but no heart.

Getting Harlem Globetrotters vibes with this game.  Again our lack of a point guard hurting us;  I realize we have key people out but we’re still a pro ball team and our offense shouldn’t look this bad.

Magic need to stop rewarding people for not playing. Contract after contract.

How does the whole Magic offense not communicate with Franz that the double team was coming. Letting Ty Jerome just blindside him and rip the ball out after we made a little run didn’t sit well with me. The guys aren’t communicating on the floor and it’s showing. 

[Phil4Real]

Franz doesn't look good at all. I don't know if he's still ill or if Mobley is in his head, but he looks out of control with the ball and has no confidence in his shot. 

[All Eyes On Me]

This game was always gonna be a loss, but it’d be nice to see some fight in the 2nd half. I’m seriously questioning the KCP signing 6 games in. Da Silva looks good, that’s about the only nice thing I got tonight

It’s all hero ball on offense 

Let’s see how many of our players touch the ball each trip down the floor

That’s kinda the Moseley offense anyway, we’re just missing our hero.

Yup no screens, no off ball movement, not even a cut to the basket. Just iso ball to either brick a contested layup or 3 point shot.
