We’re now the worst team in the NBA
I’m not like most of this sub crying and freaking out about everything, but Mosely better get this team playing even respectable defense as the year goes on. Absolutely embarrassing performance and stop with the zone.
There has to be a veteran coach who wants to have a roster of Paolo/Franz/Draft pick. Maybe then we can finally start winning.
We are now in the driver seat for Wemby. I’m glad we have Paolo and Wagner or these games would be completely unwatchable again.
Coach needs to go.
Man we are losing some heart breakers. But as long as the guys don’t break, I’m not super worried.
All I want is half off pizza once a week. I’m gonna starve
These games have been a roller coaster of emotions. At least these guys are fighting. I really think having Kellz and Cole back will make a huge difference. Our current guard rotation just isn’t cutting it
Wembanyama
1. They definitely gave us the worst refs since every team is playing today
2. Harris fucking sucks stop giving him minutes
I’m done with Mosley. It’s time for a change
Lost to the 1-9 Rockets…woe
Now both 2-9; 2-9
Today was the first time I really let myself feel nervous about what Paolo thinks about playing in Orlando. This kid is the absolute truth. He can be the best player on a championship team. Meanwhile our FO has decided to surrounded him with injured players, 8 other players who are under the age of 24, and a coaching STAFF (not just Jamahl) who overall look like they are too new and over their heads. This was an embarrassing loss, no way around it. Back to Jamahl and the coaches, I’ve said it before, idc that were hurt, and young. That rockets team is young and they dominated us on offense. They got hot from 3 early and I did not see us make an adjustment until 5 minutes left in the 4th. Jamahl is not the guy who is going to get us over the hump, and if this FO doesn’t have a grand plan with Paolo in mind and informed, I will seriously worry about his futre free agency. Bamba played good 👍
Crazy that in two games in the row, we lose to one of the worst teams of the NBA (we are first worst), and lets not forget the game against the Kings who are also one of the worst teams…Its either obvious we are tanking for Wemby for holding out certain players from playing (Fultz, Isaac, etc) or Coach Mosley just doesn’t have enough experience, knowledge, to help run a system that can guard today’s modern NBA 3’s. Houston made 24 3’s tonight, they were the worst team in the NBA coming into this game and have shown to us that WE ARE THE WORST TEAM because we can’t guard the perimeter. Very sad, only tiny bright side of this is PAOLO and FRANZ.
We fucking suck
🎽🎽🎽🎽🎽🎽
P5…..that is all to be excited about at least we did something right
its astounding how teams play like their life is on the line against us. our bench is beyond depleted. would really like mosley to have a competent full roster before kicking him out but yikes
Mosely says a lot of the right things, but he’s got to put together a gameplan that can allow us to win. You can’t just get torched from 3 night in and night out and just rely on your teams athleticism to hide the holes in the defensive scheme. I feel like we just don’t play together on defense and the ball stalls way too often after halftime.
Another game where I feel exhausted afterwards, I can only imagine how they feel.
Pathetic. Kinda kidding, but it is a pathetic loss. There are some good things that were good, and need to be applied every game. That Bamba moment was an example. Need him to actually be Steven Adamsing when screening. I like that he was bullying that Flop boy. And always, Paolo is there. He makes me understand more quotes like sight for sore eyes, or shining light in an otherwise dark void or smthn like that.
Just consider this a win made by nature…they literally had almost record performance threes there. But these losses gotta really be put on a long hold.
Worst L of the season. I normally don’t care about Ws and Ls since we’re still a young team and I didn’t think we’d be competing for anything more than a play-in (if we got lucky) but you can’t lose to a team that’s just as bad as you are — and completely get dominated by them in YOUR building.
Not on the fire Mose bandwagon but his defensive schemes are very questionable. I’m hoping he can fix it the same way he started staggering starters with the bench.
Harris needs to stop playing though. The hustle is appreciated but he’s one of the most offensively crippled players I’ve seen in a Magic uniform — and that should be saying something.
Mose also needs to stop being afraid to challenge shit…
This team had a team meeting then proceeded to defeat the defending champs but then immediately go back to their losing ways I just don’t get it…
First game of the year I got to attend and it was a blast but that defense was baaaad. We were always a step (or more) behind on nearly every Houston shot.
Heart dropped when Paolo got up limping around. Good to see him finish out the game hopefully there’s nothing more to that.
Seems like paolo got hurt, he played way more conservatively after what looked like a rolled ankle
I seriously don’t understand the need for a fucking tank two years in a row we just had a number one pick not only that the way the draft is setup now every lottery team has a 14% chance of getting the number 1 pick
So us trying to get wemby is a waste of time because chance are were gonna fall fifth or outside the top 5 anyway so why tank if another team gets wemby and scoot we still be right back where we started
Mosley is good for the tank, he will be kept this year just cuz of that, then next season we will fire his ass and hire Kenny Atkinson to truly develop our players. Trust the process lol
This defense is horrible. Back to back games now that the opponent kept hitting 3s
This is starting to feel real Jacque Vaughn-ish and I don’t like it…
Paolo and Franz. We have that. And if we can get this version of Mo off the bench as the 8th-9th guy when healthy that’s a plus. Other than that not much to be happy about. We are awful on the glass. The rebound numbers are misleading. We make zero effort for offensive rebounds and still get beat in transition. Something needs to improve big time there.
