Sometimes I really regret staying up until 3am to watch this team š
Weāre now the worst team in the NBA
Iām 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. Iām 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
Iām done with Mosley. Itās 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, Iāve 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 doesnāt have a grand plan with Paolo in mind and informed, I will seriously worry about his futre free agency. Bamba played good š
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
š½š½š½š½š½š½
P5ā¦..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 heās got to put together a gameplan that can allow us to win. You canāt 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 donāt 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 donāt care about Ws and Ls since weāre still a young team and I didnāt think weād be competing for anything more than a play-in (if we got lucky) but you canāt lose to a team thatās just as bad as you are ā and completely get dominated by them in YOUR building.
Not on the fire Mose bandwagon but his defensive schemes are very questionable. Iām 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 heās one of the most offensively crippled players Iāve seen in a Magic uniform ā and that should be saying something.
Mose also needs to stop being afraid to challenge shitā¦
This team had a team meeting then proceeded to defeat the defending champs but then immediately go back to their losing ways I just donāt get itā¦
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 thereās 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
