Throughout the first 50 games of the regular season, the Magic have lacked consistency.

Whether that’s been consistent success, accurate shooting, roster availability due to injuries or defensive effort, all of it has resulted in an identity problem for Orlando.

So, who’s to blame?

According to Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman, who spoke after Thursday’s NBA trade deadline: “It’s everything.”

“It starts with me and it ends with me,” he added. “And I’m not happy with it. I understand the fans’ frustration. We’ve got to do better. Everybody has to do better: Coaches, players, my staff, everybody.”

Often when a team fails to meet expectations, the coach is the fall guy.

Weltman made it clear, however, he has Jamahl Mosley‘s back through the rest of the season.

“Organizationally … Jamahl has our full support,” Weltman said. “And Jamahl’s our coach for the rest of the season. So, it’s not a matter of like — I know there’s a lot of chatter out there and stuff — it’s not one person. This is a basketball team, it’s a basketball organization and it’s a group effort. We’ve got to get better.

“I can tell you one thing, I know Mose is going home every night looking [at] himself in the mirror and not sleeping and trying to figure out how to do this thing and how to get us back on track,” he added. “And I know the players are doing the same thing. There’s a lot of people that are frustrated and they care greatly about this. We feel the weight of the fans’ frustration. Let me say that. When I hear a lack of urgency or this and that, it’s like … I don’t sleep. I mean, we’ve got to get this thing right. And I’m confident that we will.”

Mosley appreciated the clear support from Weltman.

“It means a lot in this business, in this industry, where coaches do become revolving doors,” Mosely said before tip-off Thursday. “And that’s the reality of it and we know what we signed up for in that regard. But to know that Jeff and I and this organization are aligned with what we want to have done with this group and this team and how we need to do play, where we’ve come up short … We talk about it a ton.

“That’s the important piece that we keep our lines of communication open, not just he and I but the players as well, that we just keep communicating with one another about the thing that we’re trying to accomplish moving forward,” he added.

Orlando looked more like itself when it outscored the Nets 64-40 in the paint, racked up 24 points off 19 Brooklyn turnovers and captured a 118-98 victory behind Jalen Suggs’ first-career triple-double (15 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists) at Kia Center on Thursday night.

The contest marked just the third time this season the Magic have held an opponents to under 100 points, something they did 21 times last season.

“We didn’t waver much,” Suggs said about the 20-point win. “Our energy was consistent throughout. Our effort and intentionality, you know, playing hard and moving the ball was there throughout the game, and these are the results of it.

“So, you know, it’s nice to have nights like this and to reset the standard of what you can be, and that’s something to look back on that you can try to replicate and be night in and night out,” the Magic guard added.

Their next opportunity to accomplish such a feat is Saturday against Utah, a team that’s 2-8 in its last 10 games but made a major ahead of the trade deadline.

The Jazz (16-36) sent former Gators guard Walter Clayton Jr., former UCF forward Taylor Hendricks, Kyle Anderson, Georges Niang and three future first-round picks to the Grizzlies in exchange for three-time All-Defensive big Jaren Jackson Jr., Jock Landale, Vince Williams Jr. and John Konchar.

Regardless of who’s on the court, the Magic (26-24) entered Friday’s slate of games 2 1/2  games back of No. 6 Philadelphia (29-22), but also only three games in front of No. 11 Chicago (24-28).

Weltman has confidence Mosley’s messaging still resonates with the team as it enters the final stretch of the regular season.

“Mose is a great communicator, and for 4 1/2 years, we’ve played really hard,” Weltman said. “I think that’s kind of been our brand. We’re sideways right now. That’s on everybody to recapture that. That’s not on one person. It’s on everybody.

“And we’ve got to figure that out.”
