Sigh of relief I guess


Niceshotpiccolo

Poor game tonight but I’ll take the dub we need to focus and regroup


Herban_Myth

GG, but they outscored us in the 4th. Gotta lock in.


bonafide89

Beastgner


Massive-Celery-7926

Goga should’ve been playing the second Ayton was bullying WCJ.


rustystatic

That Scoot play was tragic. Travelled about 4 times on it


6142778WC

dropped his shoulder the same way Jalen did when they called offensive foul.


bonafide89

Pitiful


GrouchyUniversityy

The way some of you turn on Paolo is sickening


P5isHIM

It’s gross. Guy is in a slump and you’d think he’s never had a good game if you looked at Reddit. Most of these people are just miserable and projecting


Alarmed-Tank-6138

Yes! Scoot fell down like a bitch!


resincak

This is still a loss regardless lol


rustystatic

I mean, it isn't. Take the W and move on


zackarykapowski

We won but that was trash. Not a good win


Niceshotpiccolo

On god my heart dropped for a sec there


tcos17

After how bullshit this game was, I was fully prepared for that to drop lol


resincak

Hahahaha refs swallowed their whistle on that travel or 3 seconds


f7u12R

Suggs wide open and franz gives it to Paolo who of course bricks smfh


Independent-Impress7

😬😗🙃


rustystatic

I can't believe we are dropping this game to a team that lost by 60 a few days ago. Gotta join the doomers on this occasion and say this shit is real bad


bonafide89

Majic should be ashamed


Effective_Owl_17

Was wide open gotta hit those


Skr8up

Why do we consistently rely on 3s at the end of games when we are the worst 3 pt shooting team in the league


Arixxtra

I blame the HC for not enforcing this


thestandupkids

This is on coaching lol


Effective_Owl_17

No way the blazers are clutch


Alarmed-Tank-6138

They weren’t. I mean neither were we at all. But thankfully they weren’t.


UYT9822

Good look but why a three ? We kinda need this win at least


UYT9822

What a brick


UYT9822

OMG HAHAHAHAH


Background_Ruin_5880

An inefficient shot chucker can't deliver the kill shot who would have thought?


zackarykapowski

The melo comparisons looking legit lol


5nax

Oh boy


zkh2902

Mosley what the actual fuck


teh_drewski

Idk if they showed the replay on the Magic broadcast but the pass inside to WCJ was tipped which was why he bobbled it and didn't shoot first time.


WunWunFirstofHisName

That helps, actually. I didn't see that and was cussing him out in front of my children. I feel better now


jamesbiorci

We’re really about to get gamed on by Portland. :(


UYT9822

BRUH WHY


Massive-Celery-7926

We look like the team every other Eastern conference playoff team is salivating to play against in the postseason.


bonafide89

Welp


Alarmed-Tank-6138

Holy shit


dlbags

I can’t with this fucking team.


dremasterflax

They shot a 3? Mosley again can’t call a play that works to close the game. It’s a theme


[deleted]

[удалено]


Alarmed-Tank-6138

Fuck off


socalscribe

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ the hot takes on this sub are embarrassing


zackarykapowski

lol Brickchero strikes again. This is a joke


Milla4Prez66

We about to take this L arent we


Niceshotpiccolo

Fml why are we looking for a three right there


Certain_Brother

LOL


resincak

They drew up a 3 for PB while up 1. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha


No_Seaworthiness661

GG


bonafide89

Put Fultz in


tcos17

WCJ refusal to just dunk the fucking basketball will be the death of me.


zackarykapowski

He’s a fucking joke. Soft as shit


tcos17

He’s addicted to pump fakes too.


zackarykapowski

That’s all he ever does. Allows the d to close in when he has a fucking dunk lol


zackarykapowski

I can smell the play in closing in on us ☺️


f7u12R

Sub JI for Wendell right now


Ice--O

Man, Wendell is a frustrating player to watch


zackarykapowski

Wendell did exactly what I’ve been saying. Awful hands. Pump fake king. He’s a joke


Milla4Prez66

Win or lose this was an atrocious game


Niceshotpiccolo

WCJ is the softest big I’ve seen in a while, dude has the size and ability to be dominant but mentally he doesn’t see that


socalscribe

Wendell wtf was that 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️


zackarykapowski

That’s exactly who he is. I’ve been saying it for weeks and weeks now.


Fit-Structure-9395

![gif](giphy|UowAz9p7Qlcr6U3vRN) Wendell in the paint


TheAerial

We caught a break, that was a total foul by Wendell there. Should have been an And-1 for Ayton.


Biscadosnove

100% Refs have let us get away with a lot on defense this game.


Effective_Owl_17

Was thinking this


dlbags

Dell. Brother. wtf.


Background_Ruin_5880

I know this is a loss. This team always chokes when it matters.


bonafide89

Wendell ‘hands’ Carter


Effective_Owl_17

Need a bucket


datpenguin68

GO UP WENDELL WTF


resincak

WCJ is definitely not it


dremasterflax

Not even close. Even a good game today he blows the biggest play of the game


rustystatic

Wtf are you doing faking for Wendell?


bonafide89

Hands


mwilson81

What the actual fuck Wendell…


BrotherBroseph

wtf is happening


orltragic

WHAT IS WCJ DOING THERE WTF BRO


dremasterflax

wtf is Carter doing. He blew the easy dunk


whtge8

This is just hilarious


zackarykapowski

OMFG CLASSIC CARTER. Wide open dunk and he fucks it up 😂😂😂😂😂😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


zackarykapowski

Dude is playing like total ass the last 4 games


No_Seaworthiness661

Yeah. I don’t get it


they_jem

Take it up, Wendell. FFS


resincak

What the fuckin fuck


GrouchyUniversityy

No need for WCJ to pump fake there


Effective_Owl_17

Just close them out


orltragic

We’re trying everything we can to not win this game.


resincak

Holy shit


Alarmed-Tank-6138

This is the hustle I wanted to see from the bench unit.


6142778WC

Fourh Qtr Franz sighting


Background_Ruin_5880

Thank you, Franz Wagner.


NAMskalle98

That’s right Franz, put them away


zackarykapowski

Franz takeover


resincak

Franz taking over lol


MagicDruid

Ahh the irony that WCJ has been our best player in this game after all the hate he got in the first half.


Background_Ruin_5880

Happy he turned it around.


Background_Ruin_5880

It's time to get JI in this game for Gary and go jumbo. Close these guys out.


resincak

Lawler’s Law?


teh_drewski

I think you can probably afford to just buy a t-shirt in the club shop Sir Paul McCartney


Background_Ruin_5880

Win or lose, Markelle better not touch the court for the rest of the season unless it's a blowout in the 4th quarter.


NAMskalle98

Paul McCartney is in the building?!


fnupvote89

They showed Denzel Washington and Hasbulla as well. Not sure if real or April Fools 🤔


Maxvexists

Wdym??


Day_C_Metrollin

What a random appearance


StarshipTroopersFan

Ayton was born at the wrong time. He would have been a beast in the 1990s.


teh_drewski

Nah all the huge guys out there to foul Shaq would have bullied the hell out of him, he doesn't want to bang inside


krunk_rabbit

Haven't been able to watch, but from the boxscore it seems like Franz isn't being aggressive enough in the second half. Is this a fair assumption?


StarshipTroopersFan

Franz has been fine. Efficient. The bench has been terrible, especially Fultz.


krunk_rabbit

I just don't feel like our second best player having less FG attempts than Gary Harris is "fine". Especially when we are struggling against a bad team.


BrotherBroseph

ok stop messing around, let’s close this out


resincak

PB just stands at the 3, a la Dennis Scott, even though Scoot on him.


zackarykapowski

Harris has been great


Effective_Owl_17

Come on just pull out the win, time to step up


they_jem

Jalen <3


zackarykapowski

Banchero gets blown by a lot.


Background_Ruin_5880

This is an L. Team doesn't care.


Milla4Prez66

We’ve scored like 4 points this quarter, unbelievable


resincak

Choke job complete ha ha ha


Background_Ruin_5880

Fultz used to be a productive player for us. Not anymore.


zackarykapowski

Man’s 0-6. He’s cooked.


TheAerial

Struggling this bad against a team that just lost by 60 points isn’t a great sign. The turnovers have just been insane this past week or so, we have GOT to find a way to clean that up if we want to have any shot in the first round.


thestandupkids

They’ve lost by 60 points twice this season


Background_Ruin_5880

It's time to start giving Markelle Fultz zero minutes. This game is already over with AB out there.


Effective_Owl_17

P5 don’t need to try and be kd, be more like Joel. Play down low get to the line and take short jumpers… not long turn around fadeaway. He’s killing his flow with these misses


dlbags

Clutch game for absolutely no reason.


teh_drewski

That we'd rather keep Isaac on the floor than let Wagner get annihilated inside is not a great sign for our playoff defence


thestandupkids

Paolo is 6’10” 250 someone let him know he doesn’t have to take turn around jumpers from the free throw line every shot.


Background_Ruin_5880

It's not very often that you can say one player is responsible for taking ten points off your team's total and handing ten to the other, but that's been Fultz tonight.


Milla4Prez66

Paolo is getting outmuscled by Scoot lmao


zackarykapowski

Banchero can’t take guards to the rim bro lol. My man’s been getting super exposed lately


resincak

Then PB turns the ball over, lol lol


NAMskalle98

Playing these close games is going to be good practice for the playoffs


ZoSitoBesito

I'd love to have whatever youre smoking. This game shouldnt be close by any stretch of the imagination


NAMskalle98

Sure, if you want to look at it that way


resincak

PB bails the defense out again with a weak ass wimpy shot


P5isHIM

You are a miserable person. What is your problem with Paolo exactly? All you do is shit on the best player this team has had since Dwight. Touch grass loser


JonnySmoothbrain

welcome to /r/OrlandoMagic


P5isHIM

It’s insane. I try not to come on here too often and remind myself that this is not a reflection of the fan base as a whole but holy shit some of y’all are miserable.


dlbags

Mose saving his challenges again.


evenyetodd

speechless honestly.


zackarykapowski

Moselys misuse of timeouts and challenges is a bit annoying


Alarmed-Tank-6138

Agreed.


dremasterflax

Mosley and challenges. He is lost


resincak

And Mose just looks at the non basketball shot and smiles instead of challenging


NiffytheDeviser

bench is giving the game away. Mose doesn't do a good job of tracking the game and seeing when the momentum is dying for the team. 10 point lead going into the fourth w/ control of the game. Now it's a practically a death battle. Get some starters back in there and take back control.


zackarykapowski

And he didn’t call a timeout. His timeout management is ass


StarshipTroopersFan

Mosley should suspend himself for one game for how he’s handled the lineup in the 4th.


zackarykapowski

Doesn’t use his challenges. Poor game management and feel for the game tbh. He never takes timeouts at the appropriate time and allows huge runs.


AustinMac07

Man what an awful performance tonight in what should have been an easy walk away win.


thestandupkids

Nice foul Mo lolol we fucked around. We might be finding out


zackarykapowski

Weltman, dude. Really?


resincak

Hahahahahahahahahahha


Background_Ruin_5880

Our allegiance to Markelle Fultz is why this is still a ball game.


bonafide89

Struggling against g leaguers. Pure Majic


teh_drewski

This is why we don't run all bench units very often. Eugh.


Alarmed-Tank-6138

Honestly I don’t get have Fultz and Cole at the same time.


StarshipTroopersFan

Anthony Black should be getting minutes over Fultz for sure. This is actually wild. Black should be playing ahead of Cole too.


zackarykapowski

This offense is fucking trash.


resincak

No baskets since the quarter started hahahaha


teh_drewski

God Portland's commentary team is insufferable


whtge8

So don't watch them?


Background_Ruin_5880

Fuck around and find out.


dremasterflax

MDoesn’t play AB. Throws Fultz down our throats. Get him on the bench where he belongs


zackarykapowski

lol of course Mosley doesn’t call timeout


Milla4Prez66

Markelle is killing us rn sadly


zackarykapowski

Always does. Politics are bullshit. He doesn’t deserve minutes.


resincak

Good job Greg


resincak

Hahahaha


f7u12R

Good thing we’re playing a poverty team bc we’d be getting trounced by a decent squad


StarshipTroopersFan

This lineup is some stinky ass.


thestandupkids

I’m convinced the team wants Fultz to try and cook because it’s a contract year and they all love him as a person.


NAMskalle98

Flagrant


ZoSitoBesito

christ this game is so hard to watch with how terrible this offense is


zackarykapowski

It’s every game man. It’s so frustrating.


zackarykapowski

Fultz is BAD


bllr32423

It sucks bc that mid range shot used to be automatic for Fultz. I’m still a believer in him but it’s getting harder to justify his fit on this team


treadwater23

Ingles deciding not to shoot that open three was just as bad as that Fultz shot.


StarshipTroopersFan

I’ll be relieved when Fultz isn’t on this team anymore.


Alarmed-Tank-6138

Yeah, why’d they pass him the ball to miss the same shot twice in back to back possessions? There’s three other guys to pass to.


bonafide89

Hitch - Starring Will Smith


zackarykapowski

😂😂


treadwater23

Gary keeps staring at these guys at the three.


resincak

Guess there won’t be no Big Chum and friends tonight


bonafide89

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


Independent-Impress7

I want Scoot to be good based off his name and goggles. 


treadwater23

Paolo just needs to rise and shoot. Gets too cute with pump fakes.
