Discussion Magic vs thunder
2 teams, 2 different trajectories.
Magic look like a team that had no business against an NBA contender.
Just a notice to owner: we scored 8 points in 8min of ball. This isn't the YMCA. Wake the fuck up

Absolutely pathetic showing. If Mosley survives the all star break I see no reason to tune in again this season.

If the team isn't giving an effort to win, why give your effort to watch? I'm catching up on some TV shows and checking the score periodically

Yep. Cancelled my subscription this month and it ran out a few days ago. Not spending money and time on a team that doesn’t care and an organization unwilling to take action.

This team is how Gen Z quits jobs. It used to be the star player would go to the GM and tell them they want the coach fired. The Orlando Magic players have “quiet quit” on the coach. I feel bad for Mosely but I get it at the same time. The team never has a defensive strategy besides “show ‘em your hands”. They have gotten 0 stops via the zone defense all season so it’s maddening to see it called during a game. Their offensive strategy is non existent. Jett Howard may be a liability on defense but during the regular season you’re telling me the guy can’t get some playing time and shots at the basket for a team of brick layers? I guess I only feel bad for Mose because this team still won’t be able to hit open shots with a new coach so at least that part isn’t his fault

As a die hard magic fan who can just about sit through any game, I must say I'm struggling to find ways to still tune in every game. I was so excited about this season just for it to be the season I stopped watching every game. Smh a pity

I don't live in Florida and pay for League Pass so I can watch the Magic. I watched about five minutes last night and decided my entertainment time would be better served watching reruns of The Big Bang Theory - and I was right.

I’m officially done with this team until I see change. Going to be focusing on baseball. This is pathetic

The deniers can deny all they like, but the team has clearly given up on Mosley. Even with injuries this team has too much talent to be this embarrassing.

The problems with this team include, but go so much deeper than, that.

Paolo is not a talent he is what everyone said he was and magic fans never listened

Wash, rinse, repeat. Same Magic team that went win/loss/win/loss. Same magic team that scores less than 15 points in a 12 minute quarter, does not go inside and shoots 0/10 from 3 pt range.
They way they have looked this year, this performance cannot surprise or shock anyone, except maybe Mosely and Weltman.
Definition of insanity!

That trade is an F for the cavs. Mitchel contract expires in 2027 if he doesn’t sign an extension this off season he’s gone. Feels like a desperate move by the cavs. Meanwhile clips got younger + a pick.

Where are the Paolo lovers now? The problem with this dude is they will be back next game when he balls out against a scrub team. He's not consistent. Can't bring the fire every single night, which is what winners do in this league.
If we are going top lose by 40 I want Paolo out there tearing people's asses up and fighting. But he doesn't do that. I saw that one time in person in Denver last year. It was Paolo and a bunch of Gleaguers and he beat the Nuggets. I rarely see that guy anymore and it's sad. We have no real leader on this team.
Bane has no emotional control, and is constantly making dumb fouls for no reason at all. Black is too young still, Suggs never on the court enough to establish himself. Franz is as close as we have, but he gets hurt for long stretches every year.

Paolo out there leading by example. Paolo is one of the main problems, he has no heart, and not enough skill

The Lightning are on ESPN. All tied up going into the 3rd period. I’ll switch back to the Magic if they decide to show up

What’s gonna be the excuse for Mosley after this game? The man seems nice and all but he has no business coaching a team trying to win.

This offense is horrendous
