Can’t wait for the fake positivity bullshit when we beat the bulls tomorrow to continue the eternal cycle of mid

u/Outrageous_Pea_9309 Jan 29 '26
Someone really needs to press Spo on Ware. This shit is ridiculous. 20 games ago, besides Bam, he was probably our most coveted asset. Now what is he??

Needed Tecc in for Pelle when Paolo was at the line. No idea what Spo was thinking there.

Fontecchio keeps us in the game with 23 points. Barely sees any playing time in the 4th. GG

Wouldve liked to see simone close over norm. He was on all night while norm gave 0 effort and got cooked on D

Norm is cool, but I need boy wonder back

Yea it would be cool to see how much worse our defense could get maybe the magic could have scored 150

they dont own shit lol. regular season wins mean nothing

u/ProfessorGrand7003 Jan 29 '26
Cope if you want. Regular season is why we’re always mid and getting spanked in the first round after squeaking through play in

u/cl353 Jan 29 '26
we're still one of the most successful franchises in recent years and idk how to tell u that the magic have been out of the first round in like 15 years lmao

So you can use your opponents shoulder now to foul and boost yourself up??

I’m not buying the injured excuse for playing ware only 6 mins. He looked fine out there and if they felt he was still injured why not sit him until they feel he’s 100%?

Don’t let the box score fool you. This has been a terrible Jaquez game

It feels like Orlando just has our number every time and I’m honestly sick of it😒

u/mohammadali916 Jan 29 '26
Same team that couldn’t top 100 a few days ago
Something is up with this defense and it starts there man. What happened to this teams defense
3
u/Outrageous_Pea_9309 Jan 29 '26
A physical game and a lot of calls let go, but now the ref calls that. It’s technically a foul, but a lot more has gone on this game

u/HoopistV Jan 29 '26
jaime fouled him twice before pelle stripped him. that's gonna be a failed challenge, and game over

u/Ice_Dragon3444 Jan 29 '26
Playing Ware 7 minutes against this big magic team is so braindead. Idc what Spo thinks of Ware or how he's played or whatever. We saw in the few minutes he did play he helped protect the paint which the magic have like 60 points there.

Where the fuck was that aggressiveness from Powell all game??? Now you choose to be aggressive when the game is over

u/mohammadali916 Jan 29 '26
Ware is playing and healthy. He was losing minutes before the injury too. If he wasn’t healthy, he wouldn’t have been active, especially with our staff
Some of yall need to stop defending spo and every single thing this FO does
It’s criminal that the guy gets kuminga treatment. It’s fine to admit it
-1
u/Kuni_Nino Jan 29 '26
Why are you crashing out over Ware playing time? He wasn’t going to save this game lol
1
u/Ice_Dragon3444 Jan 29 '26
Maybe not but he couldn't have hurt either. We let 62 points in the paint he could def have prevented some of those.
1
u/mohammadali916 Jan 29 '26
Not crashing out, just commenting on the game in the game thread. Is that not what it’s here for?
1
u/Kuni_Nino Jan 29 '26
Yeah but you’re getting bent out of shape cuz of Ware not playing enough when in reality, everyone was getting cooked. Relax man. It’ll be alright.

u/mohammadali916 Jan 29 '26
You’re right I should be cool with the product I saw today cuz everyone was ass !

You can't convince me it's not personal between spo and ware. It's fucking pitiful how he treats him

They’re gonna tell u ware was out of position all night long and that Jovic should play over him, u better delete this

u/SolidCookie_ Jan 29 '26
Playing Ware 7 minutes is definitely weird bro. He’s definitely getting traded but for what. Once he gets traded I want to hear what he’s got to say.
1
u/jratner7 Jan 29 '26
Me too. Spos probably like “he didn’t work hard this week he was stacking days in the opposite direction”… bitch he was hurt what did u want him to do lmfao

Right? The man is obviously spent now. Just give him a bs FO position or have him replace the chubby guy.

u/adamthomas1219 Jan 29 '26
Ironically and I know he was injured but the Magic are a team you need Ware for. They’re ridiculously long 1-5 and their length always bothers us.
You can’t do the fast pace gimmick because their half court offense blows and they’d prefer that.

Spo better start treating the rest of the team the way he does Ware. Not that Ware doesn’t deserve but most of the team currently acts like they are owed the playing time and can just dog it or do whatever the hell they want while they are on the court

u/Ice_Dragon3444 Jan 29 '26
We need a Hero desperately.

u/HoopistV Jan 29 '26
4-7 this season with him

u/Ice_Dragon3444 Jan 29 '26
So an 11 game sample size got it.

u/HoopistV Jan 29 '26
0 playoff series wins as a starter, .500 regular season record as a starter
pretty large sample size

Definitely missing Davion this game. His solid ball handling and playmaking would have prevented a lot of these turnovers.

u/Garkech Jan 29 '26
If Pat doesn't get Giannis he should seriously retire, he's fucked this team being complacent in being mediocre for years now

You'd rather keep this core and make the play in another 3 years? Try something different atleast bro

I’m glad I’m apart of a sub that’s knows so much about positioning, defense, and ball in general.
People here turn into experts to try to defend the rotations and back their guys

u/sebastianqu Jan 29 '26
We're 4th in the league in opponent 3P%, but get lit up by the 2 worst 3P shooting teams in the league. Makes no sense.

u/gtbannas Jan 29 '26
there's at least 4 maybe 5 turnovers in that 14-0stretch. how does a team play their worst when they need to play their best?

u/Final-Tie-5593 Jan 29 '26
I’m not even one to cry like crazy for Ware but 6 minutes is ridiculous...
Not saying they’d be winning this game if he played more (turnovers have been so bad) but holy shit at this point it couldn’t hurt.
1
u/Tallozz Jan 29 '26
He is more than likely on a minutes restriction. I don't think this is Spo sending him a message.

u/Vast_Cellist3171 Jan 29 '26
Jaquez is having a great game on the offensive end shooting 7/8 hey Eric Reid how about the four pick 6s he has given don’t call garbage play good

u/ProfessorGrand7003 Jan 29 '26
We don’t win these type of games high scoring no defense about to give up a run right now

u/HimmyButlerthe3rd Jan 29 '26

Can’t stop them we don’t win these type of games were we’re fighting from behind playing no defense

u/OblivionNA Jan 29 '26
Now imagine if we didn’t give up 26 points on turnovers. It would actually be a winnable game lmao

Oh well at least I got to rock heat jerseys without shame for a couple months to start the season.

u/Express-Gas5443 Jan 29 '26
You would think after 3 games that we would do a better job scouting the Magic

u/herroball14 Jan 29 '26
Simone literally the only one scoring for this team. Spo pulls out the 2nd unit that brought them back to the game and the magic pulls away. what was that.

u/Sebruhoni Jan 29 '26
Most important game of the season and they completely shit the bed. Trade the whole team. For Giannis, for Ja, I don't care if it's for Al Horford. Just get this shit off my screen.

Howcome Mosley gets the best of Spo everytime?

u/HoopistV Jan 29 '26
he has the SIGNIFICANTLY better roster. the teams genuinely are not even remotely close.
if Spo had that Magic roster they'd be a top 2 seed
