Game #44 – The Sixth Man Show Postgame Live presented by Rock ‘Em – Magic vs. Cavs

Let go let’s go Go hey what’s going on Alena magic fans welcome to the six-man show postgame live presented by Rocka that was something in my opinion the most embarrassing loss of the season it’s one thing to get blown out it’s one thing to be absolutely embarrassed outplayed outsmarted out efforted over an entire 48 minutes and

That’s exactly what just happened so I’m going to give just about about as much effort tonight as the magic did cuz uh if you’re joining us right now you are the definition of a magic Maniac cuz that was awful so if you’re sitting here watching this live show after this like

This is going to be probably our least watched show of the Year this is going to be our shortest show of the year because I just I don’t want to I don’t want to spend any time talking about that cuz that was awful that was embarrassing that was

Unacceptable and what makes it even more frustrating is last night this team goes out there and has one of the best defensive performances all season and then 24 hours later does that now I know a back toback is hard in the NBA it’s brutally hard third game in

Four nights hard in the NBA brutally hard I get that I get that you’re without two guys who are incapable of playing back-to-back games I get that but the carelessness uh the just I don’t know that it just wasn’t there that wasn’t the Orlando Magic tonight and it was

Disgusting and I just awful awful welcome to the uh six minut show postgame live presented by Rockham Rockham is the world’s largest sock store and they’re located in Orlando they sell socks and underwear for some of your favorite teams NBA NFL NHL college sports uh and even some non

Last night was so fun and then this happens chat what’s up how’s it going hiso says is this an expansion team wow yeah yeah ROM says 107 and 3/4 yeah Shan says OMG I’m going to throw something everyone get ready to freak out magic have an identity crisis and

Welman clearly focused on Player Development versus winning J.R marel injury maintenance I I yeah ji not playing tonight it’s it’s just it’s so old it’s so old he is such an influential player even 10 12 minutes of ji is something to not have him available at

All on backto backs is just a joke I hope I hope this is worth it in April I hope all this I hope all of these games that Jonathan Isaac has missed are worth it in April they I’ll put it this way they better be they better be worth it

Because this sucks Janine says magic Maniac therapy with Kevin has begun I don’t know if this is going to be therapeutic for anybody I’m not kidding guys I’m not kidding what I say this is going to be the shortest episode of the year I can’t do it I can’t sit here and

Talk about that for 30 45 minutes I can’t I won’t do it that was awful terrible yeah Matthew we let him almost score 30 what did he end up with Sam Marl ends up with 26 on 8 of 13 from three because we left him open all night

Long it’s crazy crazy what we saw out there Sean says we got manhandled Kevin we need you oh man why are there 55 of you here right now what are you doing come on you guys are you guys are you guys are sick you are sickos you sat there and watched that

Junk and now we’re going up there’s 60 of you here why are you doing this are you guys just like just just glutton for punishment and pain is that why you’re here that was so bad I’m Joy says Dreadful team to watch right now yes but last night we weren’t

Dreadful to watch that’s what’s so painful I know we’re without Markel and ji today and I know it was the second night of back toback but blah blah blah blah none of that adds up to what we saw tonight none of it yeah he says disastrous first quarter

Of no defense on the perimeter is awful first quarter was horrible horrible I’m sorry I missed the Super Chat earlier Ty glad glad to see you back here he says who else is enjoying this magic roller coaster ride can’t wait till we learn how to be more

Consistent hit the like button as we cry together yeah please hit that like button um first off Jo and beid uh the sixer game just went fin I’ll dropped 70 points tonight that’s insane 70 points and Carl Carl Anthony towns might score more than that he’s on a roll right now

We’ll look at that game later um the whole consistency thing that’s why I’m so mad I think if we had just gotten blown out last night by Miami and then by Miami and then blown out tonight I honestly might feel better but last night shows what this team is capable of

And then you turn around and do this the next night crazy crazy Luc Rosario says how could how good could the magic be now if the front office would have gone after Mitchell last year I don’t know better than right now maybe depends on who he have to sacrifice but I don’t know

Guys I’m getting like heartburn I’m so agitated got to chill out thanks Praises I appreciate this perspective says abysmal watching experience but let’s take a collective deep breath and remember that we are 23 and 21 yeah it is good perspective most of us thought this team would be hovering around 500 all season

Long and so you’re right we are right in line with that the schedule’s about to get really easy I should say easier all of that is coming that’s great but right now I’m just angry cuz that was awful lari says that’s what you call reality check from the amazing game

Against Miami to a disaster of a game tonight the life of a young team on the rise yep got that right got a super chat here from Dennis says love this magic chat no matter what big shout out to Curtis Davis for putting me on why no mo

Either what are these rotations first off Dennis thank you for the Super Chat always appreciate that the the biggest issue right now I don’t know if it’s the biggest issue one of the issues right now with rotations is we have a different set of players available every stinking night it’s so

Frustrating like I can only put so much blame on Jamal Mosley because every night there’s a different list of players that’s available for one stupid reason or another it’s exhausting oh my gosh like why like what team what team in the NBA does does what we do what

Team babies I don’t want to say babies that’s not fair that’s not fair I I need to I need to check myself I don’t understand it and again all this like rest and stuff better be worth it in April it better be freaking worth it in

April I’m just going to leave it at that before I put my foot in my mouth beauties of a live show um Steven says not sure what that game was or sorry not sure what game was worse to watch tonight or Friday versus him beating the refs that’s a good point

Austin says walking out of the arena and it was apparent no one on the magic cared about winning tonight no energy at all yep no energy at all and I I’ll just I’ll just be brutally honest I love a lot of the guys I love the whole team we

Don’t I don’t know haven’t interacted with all the guys on the team the guys on the team that we have interacted with great guys guys I’m not going to obviously judge them off of one night or one thing that I saw but when you’re down by 30 in the fourth quarter and

You’re joking and laughing on the bench it’s not good Optics I understand it like when I have a bad day at work I want to be able to joke with my friends about what’s happening I get it from that perspective so I don’t I don’t want

To like draw too much attention to it or pull too much from it but just the Optics of it as a fan it just doesn’t look great it doesn’t look great just something that I’m glad I see this now that we’re 10 minutes into me just fuming where thanks Praises says Kevin I

Need a calming postgame live well not not in the place for that I’m not I’m not calm Stephen I was going to point this out later but since you brought it up we lost in every single team stat tonight every single one we lost every single one did not win a single

Stat gross yeah Jonathan he says 24 hours later totally different feeling yep Dennis says well the main thing I learned from this game is to temper my expectations cuz that was the hardest game to watch all season long truly truly was awful tavus says zero effort from everybody tonight absolutely pathetic

Yep Ace says this team is so confusing yep D Randle says that was something but it isn’t but isn’t anything it was definitely something Ace says my mom made me a fan of your show shout out to Ace’s Mom thank thanks for uh thanks for sharing the

Show um Dennis says Hey travel and queen look good right guys yeah yep Karen says that was not fun this team needed fols not necessarily for points but to facilitate points by teammates sure you’re you’re right Karen you’re not wrong but Mar marquel’s not going

To what am I trying to say here we gave up so so many open threes tonight that marquel’s offensive facilitating wouldn’t have helped you know what I’m saying like offensively this team was bad tonight don’t get me wrong but weren’t totally abysmal like sure the team basically didn’t I don’t want to say

They gave up but they I I didn’t feel like they gave their best effort at any point in this game but defensively was just a joke on the perimeter interior just no fight no physicality no nothing was awful awful Nathan says and we’re back to trading the team yeah

Yep oh man all TI time Mr TV says I wish I can work every other day for 12 minutes rip oh my gosh Chris says Kevin you built this monster now you have to feed it holy smokes yeah Janine says misery loves company that’s that’s why there’s

70 of you here because you all are psychos you all are psychos and I’m including myself in that cuz that’s why I’m sitting right here cuz I’m a I’m a magic Maniac a psycho you know Carlos says if after last night you are wondering if we really need a trade here is your

Answer yeah here’s what I’m going to say about that I mentioned this to Jonathan and Luke a little bit earlier if the magic were to make a deal before deadline day which first off I don’t know if they’re going to make a deal at all if they were to make a deal

Before deadline day wouldn’t it be ideal to make a trade when you have have 3 days off which would be tomorrow maybe maybe Wednesday magic don’t play again till Friday wouldn’t you love to get a guy in on Tuesday or Wednesday give him a couple days to get acclimated to their

New home and have them ready to play by the weekend I’m just saying just saying do I think that’s likely no I don’t again I’m not sure the magic are going to even make a deal and if did I would expect it to be on Deadline day that’s a very Jeff welman

Thing to do however if they were to make a deal before then might be tomorrow might be Wednesday just keep your keep your phones close if you’re into that kind of thing fison one of our writers says you’re a warrior for doing this after what transpired tonight

C thank you fison appreciate the love you’re obese yourself and uh yeah look yeah tonight sucked I’m not going to miss this though it’s going to be short like we’re I’m going to go five maybe 10 more minutes and we’re going to call tonight again I I can’t sit here and

Give 45 minutes to this game tonight I can’t do it I can’t but I definitely appreciate you guys for being here Sean says Kevin my son says he wants a shout out Zach says we need three-point Shooters Zack shout out to you and yes we need three-point Shooters

It’s so hard to go into a game tonight where you play against Cleveland which by the way Cleveland is not a great three-point shooting team I think Luke it was Luke yeah Luke excuse me said Cleveland averages like their average is like 35% and tonight they end up at 52% which

Went down towards the end of this game in garbage time they were hovering around 58% for most of this game from three end up at 52% it’s really really painful to see a game like that and look at how we shoot which by the way tonight

We shot 38% from three which isn’t bad you know but a lot of nights it’s 25% maybe rough rough rough rough um slime on a plane says over after the first quarter yep game was done done I know we were only down 19 but it felt like

50 with the like effort that we were putting out felt insurmountable Matthew says just play pray we don’t play Brooklyn Atlanta and Cleveland in a playin tournament yeah I mean we beat Cleveland this year at least well we beat Atlanta too in overtime but I don’t know what a

Mess uh Matthew says also says I’m tired of the if folz was back then it would be different we need a healthy point guard I don’t disagree with you I don’t disagree with you the lack of consistency from our roster is brutal Eagle I think there might be something

To this says the effort was very telling tonight they were happy about beating beating the Heat and celebrating for too long and the Cavs stomped us out we are very inconsistent right now very inconsistent Tyler again not wrong what did he do tonight okay he says not

Trying to single out one person because the whole team played terribly but Cole has been pretty tough to watch lately Cole has been very tough to watch lately very very tough Chris says says loving the trade conspiracies you make a lot of sense though it’s just a thought

I had this is the most rest this team has had in months not months sorry weeks these three days off and it’s the most rest you’re going to get before the trade deadline it’s just a thought again I don’t think it’s likely but if I was the GM or the president of basketball

Operations I would love to make a trade tonight tomorrow get my new guy in tomorrow night get him two full days with the team Wednesday and Thursday before you play in Memphis on Friday you fly out to Memphis on Thursday it’s just a thought just a thought the only hero

Says what a truly terrible game should have turned it off in the first quarter casuals would have done that the only hero casuals would have but we are not casuals we are magic Maniacs that’s why we endure all that junk and that’s why we come here to a postgame live show on

YouTube with 70 of our other magic Maniacs but here’s the thing with tonight this is what I say this is what I you want you want positivity you want you want a uh something that I’ll lift you up right here this is it guys nights like this nights like this where you’re

Down by 34 to the stinking freaking Cleveland Cavaliers and you’re playing terrible nights like this for us magic fans are going to be what makes the moment when we win the Larry O’Brien trophy that much sweeter when we’re standing at at Kia Center we’re all just

Got our arms around each other tears are streaming down their face we’re be like I watched the entire game on January 22nd of 2024 where the magic lost to the cel Cavaliers by 27 I was there I watched it and it was worth it oh I hope that happens good grief okay

Um Stephen says no trades unless it’s for Gary or oh no sorry no trades unless it’s to trade Gary Harris or Isaac to a contender for our favorite cash considerations I don’t think Jonathan Isaac getting traded guys that would be just shocking to me I would be stunned Gary Harris very different

Speaking of guys that need to get healthy G come on bro come on Ernest says love you Kevin showing up tonight dude appreciate that thanks for being here Sean so glad that the the shout out uh shout out was a a good thing love that Karen must have been all those

Brazillian snacks they had that’s funny that’s funny thanks prais says Cav can we talk hypothetical trades you’re the GM what moves you’re making here’s what I I don’t really play that game I’ll be honest with you like I don’t know there’s so there’s it’s one thing to talk about like

Draft um like draft situations like I’ll sit here and guess who the magical draft cuz you got a limited pool of you know 60 guys is that’ll be drafted trades like there’s just so many things that could happen I don’t even I don’t even bother like I know it’s kind of lame a

Lot of people love like trying to guess and predict trades I don’t like I just don’t I’m going to be wrong so I just don’t even bother I know it’s a really lame answer but it’s true I just I can’t I can’t mentally go there I don’t know I don’t

Know oh goodness okay um what I want to do here I wasn’t even going to look at the box score tonight to be honest just cuz it’s it’s it’s it’s a joke it’s awful here’s what I’m here’s what I will do I’ll just look at the team stats you

Can look at the box score on your on your own I I I wasn’t kid when I said at the beginning I’m not going to give full effort tonight I’m not going to I can’t I can’t after that guys I can’t we’ll look at some team stats though okay I’ll

Give you that um Orlando with only 34 points in the paint yuck Cleveland had the biggest lead of the game 36 magic never LED in this game because they went down like 7-0 or something like that to start never LED Trail by as many as 36 points gross Cleveland bench destroys

You actually you know what I’m going to do no I can’t do okay I’ll do this I’m not going to even look at the Magic’s box score we’re just going to look at Cleveland because like I don’t I don’t know if I even want to do this this is

So painful I don’t know why I do this to us but you have a guy like Dean Wade didn’t miss three of three tonight Isaac aoro one of One Max TRW two of four Donovan Mitchell was the second worst three-point shooter tonight tonight for Cleveland and he went three of eight Sam Merill

Is I mean eight of 13 from three 26 points that’s like a that Caleb Houston stat line from a couple weeks ago H man awful yeah their bench just carved you up uh I didn’t even talk about turnovers that first quarter I’m going to have to look up I I

Forgot already how many turnovers it was it was it was like we forgot how to play basketball in that first quarter awful the turnovers were just a joke in the first quarter magic had seven seven first quarter turnovers awful why are there more of you here why are there now 75 of you

Here what are you doing guys I’m glad you’re here please don’t misinterpret that I’m just more surprised because like that was awful what an awful game and you’ve decided now to tune into a live stream on YouTube where we sit here and complain about that you guys are amazing slash SL

Slightly Psy psychos so whatever but while I’ve got 75 of you here just let me remind you that this show is brought to you by Rockham and so if you like this show definitely go to roam.com and use that code magic2 when you shop for magic gear or gear of your other

Favorite teams it just mean a lot like we work we’ve worked really hard on this show like this is what game number 44 of the Season we’ve now done 48 postgame shows if you count the four preseason games like that’s that’s a lot of content okay like we worked really hard

And we’re like so appreciative to Rockham for like partnering with us in this and so if you want to like support the show like super chats are cool and all that kind of stuff it’s so helpful but the biggest thing is like use that code magic2 roam.com because that shows

Rock them like hey magic fans are here we love the six-man show we love the postgame live and we love Rockham all those things combined really helped the show a lot so again if you want to do that go to rock.com use that code magic2 get some sick Land of Magic socks be

Great be great woof okay turnovers we talked about that awful terrible horrendous I’ll look at these team stats now because this is yeah we talked about it earlier magic lost every statistical team category tonight everyone Cleveland outshoots you from Two and from three free throw line out rebound you and offensive rebounds more

Assists more steals more blocks fewer turnovers more fast break points more points in the paint I guess maybe you fouled less so maybe you won one statistical category but you had three teexs and they had one you know like just just awful absolutely dominated horrible Knight horrible this

Is this I I got to I got to pull this up cuz I just absolutely do not agree with this welman is a horrible GM Mosley can’t Coach limited ceiling I cannot disagree with that more I do not think Jeff wman is a horrible GM has he made some questionable

Decisions sure but you’re sitting here with po ban Caro and fron Vagner and Jaylen Suggs like the the voot trade Wendell we get Wendell fronds and obviously we don’t know what J Howard’s going to be it’s way too early for that I mean that’s an amazing deal again

You have he has the foresight to draft Pao he has the foresight to draft fron that’s a bad take I can’t I won’t I I yeah um and and Mosley can’t coach what is Mosley supposed to do right now he he has not had a healthy roster since

Halloween Halloween he had a healthy roster last last night except for Gary Harris and what happened we blew him out but the very next night he doesn’t have a healthy roster again and this is what happens and I’ll also add coach Mosley’s not out there turning

The ball over we can’t sit here and say like Mosley had a bad game plan tonight or whatever mosy not out there committing seven turnovers in the first quarter that’s not Jamal mosy with those lazy passes that’s not Jamal Mosley mishandling the basketball it’s not Jamal Mosley leaving

Freaking Sam Marl wide open 10 times tonight I don’t know I I don’t agree with that is he perfect no absolutely not absolutely not we have we have critiqued and criticized Jamal Mosley plenty of times on this show or anywhere in the six-man show we’ve done it plenty of

Times I don’t think we can come away from this game and say Jeff wman was a terrible GM and um coach Mosley is a terrible coach nah nope nope thanks prais says were you watching during November we were all healthy yeah I know what you’re talking about and it’s funny because we played

That well and we weren’t even actually fully healthy and he still coached us us to a nine game win streak and yes as Steph said one coach of the year or Co coach the year coach of the month in November which by the way coach of the

Year which I thought was maybe a lock early this season is Now quickly slipping away not because I think he’s doing poorly but because the results matter in coach of the year so whatever um what are we at 27 minutes all right let’s do this we’re just going

To look at some scores because there are some crazy things happening in this league tonight I mean crazy and I don’t mean the magic losing by 27 I mean Carl Anthony towns has 58 points through three quarters he had 45 I believe at the half which is insane and then down

Here here he is Joel embiid 70 points 70 points had more than half of his team’s 133 points that’s Bonkers it’s crazy Giannis with a 31 17 and 10 triple double man I love the I love the NBA and I hate the NBA at the same time oh

Goodness yeah crazy night okay scores though Grizzlies beat the Raptors uh Sixers beat the Spurs Bucks beat the Pistons none of those games really impact the magic obviously the magic do play the Grizzlies on Friday which let’s see uh who the Grizzlies play before Friday I’m sure they have another game

Before then I think they play Miami Yep they’re at Miami on Wednesday and then home to us on Friday um as far as G oh man the Bulls are beating the Suns wow okay Bulls up 13 on Phoenix in the second quarter that’s not great Phoenix played last

Night they played the Pacers beat the Pacers um but yeah Chicago I mean wow so by the end of the night Chicago let’s look at these standings by the end of the night Chicago can be within a game is that right or I guess a game and a half man that’s

Crazy that is unfortunate but hey that’s a good team over there I know that um obviously they haven’t been playing well over the course of the season but they’re getting hot and on paper that’s a good team it’s that’s a good team so all right guys um like I said

I’m not going to do not going to do much more than that tonight going to be honest I’m just I’m a little bit dejected as you can tell very very disappointing performance tonight very very disappointing effort tonight it’s like I yeah I don’t know I’m not going to go back into it Austin

Says genuine question is it on us as fans to lower our expectations since management never set their goal this year years to win or on management to step up the potential of the teams and energy the fans I don’t think the management never said the goal this year

Is to win you know I mean they’re not going to flat out say like we want to win but every everyone I mean we were at media day everyone at media day was talking about like this is the year to take the step like to take the next step

Um and let’s be clear we have like I know tonight sucked but we are significantly better than we last year significantly better so we got to look at the whole season the 44 games and say we are two games above 500 which preseason most of us would have accepted that it is hard

When you play as well as we did in the month of November to turn around and play like we have partway through December and then now obviously all of January has been really rough that’s where it’s frustrating and again we’ve said it many times this team is getting healthy and

The schedule is is about to drastically change there are some stretches later in the season that are so I’m talking like Detroit Washington Detroit Charlotte Charlotte stretches I don’t remember the exact order but it’s like five games against those teams coming up like a stretch of five straight

Games it it it’s going it’s we have a great opportunity to turn it around okay that’s it oh all right uh Chris says thanks Kevin for all you do I appreciate that man Janine appreciate you thank you um what was our record at 44 games last

Year we’ll close it out with this uh 2022 23 Orlando Magic our uh our record after 44 games last year was 16 and 28 16 and 28 okay so the fact that we’re sitting here at 23 and 21 yeah significantly better we’ll take that dizzy says are there going to be

Any future playback watch Longs yes um current our the one that’s next on our schedule is actually going to be for the allstar reserves show on TNT on um not this Thursday but next Thursday whatever day that is Thursday the 8 yeah the eth no sorry the

1 that’s not right Thursday February 1st that’s the day we’re going to do a playback for that when they hopefully announce Palo banko as an Allstar that’s the next one on the schedule I don’t we might have one before then but I doubt it that’s probably the next one so yeah

We’ll you’ll hear more about that as we get closer but that’ll be fun uh Austin says this fan base is the best it’s true the best even on a night like tonight even on a night like tonight guys that’s it for me tonight thanks for hanging out with me thanks

For hanging out with all the magic Maniacs in the chat it’s not one we’ll soon forget or maybe we hope to forget cuz that was ugly okay uh no magic games till Friday enjoy 3 days of no Magic Basketball obviously Jonathan Luke will be back on Thursday for a new episode of

The six man show be fun to hear them react to this woo I’ll be back on Friday for the game of against Manis but until then have a great week everybody and of course let’s go Magic go [Applause] Magic
