Obsevations: Silva looks like he belongs and Goga isn't a bad starting center. Howard looks lost and Black leaves a lot of room for improvement. KCP needs a 3 to be a 3 and D (liked his 4 steals). The Wagners had half of the Magic turnovers! Franz is a good Robin, but he isn't Batman.
well , KCP has been taken to improve shooting and defense . His historic average production is 11 ppg . Considering rotation of 10 players , a target of at least 110 points in 5x48=240 mins available to 5 players , means each one scoring at least 11 points in 24 mins . In 32 mins (what KCP plays) is 16 points minimum , to be on par with the need of Magic . So he will never be decisive , has never been . So the target of improving shooting does not work even in theory . KCP is suited for a team with high scoring a poor defense . We discover this by the hard way .
Yep I agree. The Franz contact is going to bite us hard, and what has happened to JI and Cole? If this continues then it's going to fall on the coach pretty soon.
Jalen in charge of the offense is a mistake. He pushes an exaggerated pace, loses control and makes bad decisions. He has a Westbrook-like style, doesn't help the offense and makes it easy for opponents to have quick transitions. He is a beast on defense and the heart of the team, but he is not prepared to coordinate the offense. His tonight's stat sheet looks decent, but most of his points came in the fourth quarter when all was lost. We need to get off our butts, defend and slow down on offense, move the ball and move our bodies. Maybe that way we can win a game before Paolo comes back.
The game was lost when I saw Caleb check in.
MORE COW BELL

Orlando and Arsenal aren’t out of it yet, it’s the beginning of the season for both!
Let's just get Cooper Flagg and keep it moving.
Weltman needs to be on the hotseat or Parker, whoever the gm is. This team needs a trade. Can't even break 100 points now

If they hit an average number of 3s, they would have been competitive in the last two games. People need to calm down.
This is getting gross. All that cap space to resign everybody and we're the worst team in the league obviously without Paolo?

They need to add a point guard. Their number one need last summer and nothing. If Schroeder becomes available I would make a trade.
1of 17 from 3 at certain point. Last year was Fultz fault??..😁😁😁😁 nice that Harris and Cole Anthony did not play.
Don't get too low, don't get too high
