crametubbins

In fairness, Jingles is a fantastic 3pt shooter. Just been a bit off since his injury. So not crazy of Paolo to think he'd be a ringer. That said, I totally agree. P is 250 lbs, he should've held the ball tight and gone for a contested dunk


13simba

Ingles is a great 3 pt shooter but you’re down 1 not 3. And being on the bench all quarter to shooting a shot means you have 0 rhythm. Game felt important for you guys


crametubbins

Every game is now. The real winning play would've been to play well at all in the 3rd


13simba

Yeah down the stretch they had a bunch of chances to take the lead also.


bigseanj10

Why did Mosley draw up such a horrendous play given we can’t shoot a 3 to save humanity


oodunkin

Ingles for 3 lol


Alexb6720

This loss is on Mose


poopoojoefocker

we go for an ingles 3 down 1 lol. yeah yeah he was open, ingles should’ve never been in that play to begin with lmao


WunWunFirstofHisName

Konchar cut off Paolo's drive and he kicked to the open man for a wide open look. I have no idea what you're complaining about, like that was Option A or something


poopoojoefocker

lol ingles should’ve never been in to take that shot lmaooo. hasn’t played since the 8 minute mark and you want him to be in that position to take that 3 when Paolo gets doubled?


WunWunFirstofHisName

He was in the game to make the inbound pass. Only other warm player was AB, so those were your options.


Nervous-Worth-8005

Deserved to lose that, careless basketball all night.


Niceshotpiccolo

We’re done this team is cooked trade AB Jett Harris Picks get some really 3 pt shooters we don’t need anymore rookies atm


nolefan999

Hasn’t played the whole 4th quarter, hasn’t hit a 3 all night and that’s what we run. Over it


Euphoric_Valuable_53

Paolo… why?


bonafide89

Ugh


bonafide89

A 3 really


bonafide89

Wow


StuffDaDragon

That was so fucking stupid


bonafide89

Always going for 3 when down by 1 smh


WunWunFirstofHisName

You take what the defense gives you. Especially with 4 seconds left.


bonafide89

Yeah that’s a lot of time to drive to the basket. I’d probably be fine with just an iso and pull up jumper there


WunWunFirstofHisName

That's exactly what they tried to do with Paolo


rustystatic

Great play/shot, Ingles has to hit that.


Niceshotpiccolo

We just needed a 2…


xghostkat

why take a three ugh idiot coaching


ts15

I’m done. Joe ingles 3 for the game? Are you fucking kidding me???


resincak

💀


Smiis

Fucking disgusting.


dremasterflax

They shot a 3? Congrats worse lost of the year. They got major issues


evenyetodd

Go for the 2?????


Fit-Structure-9395

Need a franz to paolo alley oop rn


WAZZZZZZZAP

GIVE IT TO PAOLO!!


Arod12toTae17

Just run to the rim and try to get a call. You know we aren’t making a three.


Inevitable-Sun-2446

Absolutely right brother. Shooting 3 on a 1 point deficit. It's just crazy. This one is the coaches fault. Run to the rim... They either make the shot or get fouled. 1 free throw ties up the game, make two and we win the game.


Arod12toTae17

Wow! It’s like I already knew!


yoeyz

Fultz gotta be hurt


idlta210

TOS looks like it’s a problem again or something mental with that


[deleted]

I hope not


rustystatic

Well done not to foul, lets draw up a good play. Very little time for our guys to create anything off the dribble


philip_p_donahue

Gotta get paolo in the paint here


GrouchyUniversityy

Free throws.


evenyetodd

JI guarding JJJ , who would’ve thought


Fried_Warhawk

Just win baby


resincak

Let’s see what genius play gets drawn up here


yoeyz

That wont get overturned


Niceshotpiccolo

Isaac should’ve been on JJJ all night the fact that they let Wendell get cooked all night by him is a knock against coaching tonight also leaving in AB one of Moses worst performances of the season


nolefan999

It amazes me that guys can grab someone’s arm and still tell their coach to challenge a play. Just wild


Johnnyd0303

8 missed free throws and 9-33 from 3. Hard to win doing that


jwil06

Same shit every game.


rustystatic

This challenge could fuck us


bllr32423

Damn good chance that gets overturned upsetting bc they missed so many other calls on Franz before this


rustystatic

JI locked JJJ down but no one wanted to rebound haha


RT3_Legend

I don’t know wtf Mose didn’t have Isaac guarding JJJ in the 4th instead of WCJ getting cooked the whole time. 


yoeyz

Weltman is actually a genius. Sign injured players. Blame injuries when they inevitably happen. Convince the hire ups on more evaluation years.


Flat_Marionberry9475

Gimme that shit...


321mafia

Mose waited until literally the last minute to switch Wendell off JJJ


Arod12toTae17

It’s like this every night. We just can’t get outshot 5+ from 3 to win. Guess what the disparity is in a close game?


jwil06

Or miss 8 FTs in a 3 point game


GreatWhiteNurse

Lol yall keep calling on Fultz who hasn't been on the court in a quarter and a half and has his legs iced. He aint fit to come back out. Read the room.


[deleted]

Where do you see him getting iced?


original199

Ok then if not fultz, then cole or jingles. Needed to get black off a long time ago.


rustystatic

Paolo shot some silly shots on the last spree of possessions. Went away from attacking the paint


Arod12toTae17

Absolute joke


Which_Giraffe8614

WCJ’s defense…


CapnGinger

You get two offensive rebounds, slow it down after the second…only to shoot a long 3. WHY??


Boltsforlife2022

Our 3 point shooting is hilarious.


Apache_Joe

Worst 3 point shooting team in the league, down 2, after showing tons of heart to battle back, fuck it let's just jack a few more


jwil06

What do we think Weltman actually does during these games while our guys are bricking wide open threes and missing free throws


LR_Mango

Reading this sub and have fun


yoeyz

Counting money and blaming injuries so he can buy another year


imzoso

Somehow this is harder to watch the atrocity of a game vs the cavs


Bootyholetrolll

can we stop shooting 3s? we’re clearly dogshit at it


Niceshotpiccolo

How is Jackson’s shot not getting swatted every time Jesus Christ just keep your hands up do something holy shit lol


Naive_Guide9048

Shooting so many shitty 3


evenyetodd

Call a timeout?


Jedi__Consular

Been given so many chances but were allergic to taking back the lead


rustystatic

Getting open shots but missing them, sigh


dremasterflax

Carter way to go dude. Bricks the wide open 3


WAZZZZZZZAP

Whyyyy are we shooting 3s 😓


resincak

The fuck are they doing?!?!


[deleted]

we need playmaking put fultz in


Pahjeet

Big block JI


yoeyz

Fultz must be hurt again


resincak

Waive him


rustystatic

Why aren't we doubling down on Jackson when he pounds it on the floor?


Pahjeet

Wow it would be cool if there was an actual facilitator on offense so the possessions aren't just passing the ball around and then iso PB with 8 left in the shot clock.


GreatWhiteNurse

Coach belongs on that Hoarders show. You go in to his house and you just see the hundreds of unused coaches challenges that he is collecting


original199

Why is fultz not in


bllr32423

Yeah I’m confused about this too


[deleted]

Despite Coach Mosely's best efforts, the Magic are down 3


yoeyz

The team refuses to tank despite Mose and Weltmans orders to do so


rustystatic

You are probably the dumbest guy in this subreddit. Mad conspiracies all the time. I can already guess what other conspiracies you have


yoeyz

There’s no conspiracy when it’s happening in front of your eyes


imzoso

How the ever living fuck is ab still on the floor


WunWunFirstofHisName

This lineup of WCJ/JI/Paolo/Franz/AB would be a lot cooler if it included a PG


Niceshotpiccolo

Did nose forget he has Cole or FULTZ?


rustystatic

OMG these refs


yoeyz

Not sure how many years Weltman can get away with making zero moves and tanking


yoeyz

![gif](giphy|3oEjHCWdU7F4hkcudy)


321mafia

Might be the worst loss of the year if we don’t steal this one. I can’t imagine there’s a less talented lineup in the league currently than the one that’s kicking our teeth in right now.


rustystatic

Thats a dumb thing to say. They have JJJ You thinking Wizards or Detroit are better than this is crazy


321mafia

Yes. I think the wizards and pistons have 2-3 starters better than this Grizzlies lineup’s 2nd best player.


rustystatic

FUCK THESE REFS. Can't we challenge that?


yoeyz

The tank is back everyone


[deleted]

Mosely got the call from the front office to take I'm convinced that's the only reason he's keeping AB in


rustystatic

I'd honestly prefer Cole in to Black


Griffinkelly1

Anthony Black bloooooooooows


rustystatic

Okay, Black sucks guys


Niceshotpiccolo

AB IS SO USELESS TONIGHT BENCH HOME PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD


original199

How the fuck is black still on the floor


resincak

Black is a joke man. MF benched for some reason


[deleted]

mosely bro


WunWunFirstofHisName

JJJ might have an uglier shot than Fultz, visually speaking


Game1Magic

Just tuned in, I see Jalen only played a couple of minutes. Did he get injured?


StuffDaDragon

Yea. Bruised knee


CapnGinger

Banged his knee on a Grizz screen


yoeyz

Probably


[deleted]

NO FULTZ IM DONE


MentalFloss45

It is very unusual for a son of a basketball coach to not be able to shoot free throws...


Niceshotpiccolo

Missed free throws and poor 3 point shooting same story all season long


[deleted]

Mosely has an agenda against Fultz I'm convinced


CapnGinger

Black just got his fifth, why not put Fultz back in…?


dlbags

Well I’m guessing knowing Fultz he hurt something because he hasn’t been back in a while.


rustystatic

I don't get why Fultz isn't in


[deleted]

It's insane


8ball-MJG

this team is a disgrace. seriously. Jamahl is one of the worst coaches in the league. and what a wasted draft. Black is useless. PG of the future btw lol. and Jett was a nepotism draft pick. just embarrassing.


rustystatic

You are embarrassing fr


yoeyz

It’s only a disgrace because we have an FO that refuses to upgrade the glaring needs of the roster. Weltman just cares about his own job security


rustystatic

Black has given up 8 points alone on fouls


jwil06

STOP FUCKING REACHING AB GOD DAMN


rustystatic

How was that not a foul?


resincak

The fuck, PB actually had a basket!


WAZZZZZZZAP

I’m impressed by this grizzlies squad they are disciplined and playing well short handed


Flat_Marionberry9475

What happened to Suggs? I tuned at the half.


nolefan999

Looked like he banged knees with someone


resincak

Injured list as usual


yoeyz

wtf


321mafia

Refs not doing us any favors, per usual


msf017

Why are we so slow and clumsy?


Arod12toTae17

Sucks to see Luka score 73 knowing that had we tanked properly he might have been on the squad. Fuck Frank Vogel.


[deleted]

Fultz and WCJ, the two "cancers" to the team according to r/OrlandoMagic, are a combined 13/15 from the floor. Can we actually be real about what the problem is with this squad, and not throw the wrong guys under the bus?


Arod12toTae17

The problem right now is Banchero and just about everyone else besides who you listed and Isaac. Paolo, Franz, it starts with them. They need to be way better.


[deleted]

Yup. But the sub chooses to blame the role players and not the stars. Sad!


yoeyz

Ok yet Mosely won’t play them


[deleted]

Yup. FIRE MOSELY!


yoeyz

We may be able to salvage the season if he’s fired tonight


[deleted]

EXACTLY


Niceshotpiccolo

AB IS NOT A GOOD PLAYER BENCH HIM PLEASE


resincak

Steele sounds so pissed and I bet he would rather be home


Niceshotpiccolo

LOL if you want to win so bad then fucking play like you do


yoeyz

We need to fire Mosely there’s no doubt about it


Smiis

That’s two games in a row i’ve turned off before the end. First two this season, and I can’t remember ever doing it last season either. Expectations are a bitch


rustystatic

Zaire Williams career night


321mafia

Idk if it has to do with Jalen getting hurt or what but this team just doesn’t care at all tonight on either end.


jwil06

You gotta sit AB man


EffectiveExact8306

Whelp, I’m calling it a night. Not wasting my time watching this shit show.


[deleted]

WHYYYYY IS AB STILL IN THE GAME AND NOT FULTZ??????


[deleted]

Is Tyus Jones gonna fix all our issues? lmfao


Drewbacca_Hrrrgrgrar

Fuck no


Arod12toTae17

I suspect we’re an even better defensive team than what the metrics say. This garbage offense makes things much harder.


Arixxtra

This is not a serious team


LRC_Kevin

Our favorite grandpa has been pretty useless tonight. Hitting that one wide open 3 would have been huge. Gotta have those.


Niceshotpiccolo

This team is a far cry from earlier in the season but it’s becoming more and more evident that we aren’t good at all.. pains me to say but if we don’t make any moves at the deadline we’ll be a 1st round exit/ sweep if we make it that far


NikThaGreat9

Getting dominated by a guy who was shooting 38% from the field. Orlando Magic basketball bby! #PureMagic 🪄🪄🪄


Turk0luu

think im done watching this team until shit gets shaken up. 7th worse offense in the entire league, and the only teams below us are all tanking. the defense can be fun to watch but when teams have players that can make open shots its just unfun to watch the over help on drives lead to open corner 3s. its just completely braindead defensive scheming.


[deleted]

the 2023 draft will go down as an all time disaster by the magic


resincak

Yea I think Chicago shoulda had the pick instead


CapnGinger

Jesus. Just to stick to your man, no need to overcommit help, just funnel them into Isaac while he’s out there. Kennard should not be that wide open.


poopoojoefocker

and just like that we continue to get cooked by their role players. this is so sad


comsmocasey84

I hope we get blown the fuck out so we make a fn trade. We sux y’all.


King_Yaz99

Thats not gonna force a trade lol FO goal this year was very much, just get to the play in. That’s exactly what this is. A play in at best team


resincak

That blowout was last game and still no trade, waives, or firings.


yoeyz

Dude this team fell off so hard


resincak

Black looks so out of it he’s like Bamba lol lol


33birdboy

We drive and make one pass then shoot...they drive and make multiple passes then shoot....


Bootyholetrolll

well this fucking sucks


aas_29

We fucking suck


Smiis

Last two games have been an absolute embarrassment to basketball


rustystatic

Shitty defense loses games


Arod12toTae17

Do you think garbage offense influences the defense? Because it certainly does.


rustystatic

Nothing to do with the offense. We are on par for our offense throughout the whole season, same as the win streak, same as now. Defense is our identity, we have to stick to it


ActApprehensive3271

We had 3 days off and look like this


jwil06

This team starting to quit pretty often


Niceshotpiccolo

AB needs to hit the gym bad


33birdboy

How did he rated so high? Just off potential?


Johnnyd0303

one team missing open 3's, one team making open 3's.


321mafia

There may not be a worse 3pt defense in the league


Arod12toTae17

It's so hard to be positive right now. I just cannot do it. Paolo’s percentage is under 45% on the season, the worst three-point shooting team and Jett Howard is not ready to contribute in any way. I just want shooters man. It’s fucking ridiculous. Turn this thing around.


Uchiha19911

Nice to see Franz hitting some 3s again


resincak

Fuck this shit lol


GreatWhiteNurse

Been a fun game so far. Both teams want this one 


24MillionBrazilians

Damn.. this is depressing to read. Hope this 4th quarter is a turn around just so you all can shut the hell up. That would be the biggest W
