We have now officially gone W-L-W-L-W-L-W-L-W-L-W-L-W-L. 14 games in a row of trading wins and losses. This team is so impressively mediocre.

I love Suggs, but I feel like we won’t see him healthy until he takes on a Caruso type reserve role. Which sucks because honestly I feel like he contributes to wins more than any other individual on the team.

This is a good, honest .500 basketball team. They play .500 ball, goddammit. Salt of the earth, punch the clock, even win/loss ratio basketball. They lose a couple, guess what? They win a couple, too. But they never got too excited or let it go to their head. No long winning streaks there, no sir. That’s hubris, which this blue collar, hard-working everyman team doesn’t have. A few wins in a row, those guys, true to form, balance it out with a couple of losses. Yes sir, that is our 2025-26 Orlando Magic. A good, honest .500 basketball team.

I love Goga so much man. Goga would ironically be great for the Pacers, not that Id want to get rid of him at all.

xBerryhill | Magic

4 | 5 hours ago

Problem is he has one of these then he has 2-3 games where he’s almost impressively mediocre to bad.

When I see people here or elsewhere saying “the idea of Paolo is a lot better than what you see”, that’s so much more true for Goga the majority of the time. He should be a rim-protecting shot blocker and rebounder that can clean up inside shots yet far too often he looks unplayable.

I’m not used to a 4th quarter collapse pelicans but at least it’s not a Willie Green third quarter collapse.

AnotherStatsGuy | Pelicans

The Pelicans just need a new coaching staff.

They’re just not quite good enough. If they can improve something, anything, they’d win so many more games.

This is a shit season. Hopefully, it exposes other flaws that a high lottery pick might hide.

EDIT: I know about the pick situation, I’m saying that behind bad without the high pick might force people to look closer at other shortcomings ad opposed to just going “A high draft pick will fix everything.”

The frustrating part is that this is still Willie’s staff that Borrego is running.

AnotherStatsGuy | Pelicans

Hence my take about a reset on the coaching staff.

Charlie_Wax | Warriors

For all the pain they suffered last season and all the shit they (rightfully?) got for the draft trade, I’m at least happy for them that Queen looks like a certified hooper. It would be really grim for them if he looked like Josh Jackson 2.0.

Not_on_Herb | Pelicans

1 | 4 hours ago

I mean, Queen has shown he’s got a lot of ability but he also has HUGE deficiencies that will make building around him in the long term difficult. He’s a liability on defence, not good enough on the boards as a 5, can’t shoot.

xBerryhill | Magic

Important to remember that their most important players are still incredibly young, two of which are rookies.

IMO they’re still 2+ years from being real competitors for even the playoffs but I like what they have a lot.

Gamesgtd | Magic

Best 4th quarter Mose coached all year. Actually called timeouts when our team was in a bad situation. He ran more pnr with Paolo as the screener and surprise surprise it was pretty effective.

Nah he was way better in the 2nd Detroit game and against Denver

I can’t really remember what he did in that Denver game.

if in that third quarter you had told me we’d win by double digits, I would’ve thought you’re joking

The east really is wide open. I can see any of the pistons, knicks, raptors, sixers, cavs, magic making the finals. And i wouldn’t even be that shocked if a team like the heat or hawks make the conference finals.

Sixers could be scary if fully healthy

Charlie_Wax | Warriors

2 | 6 hours ago

I was way too high on the Magic in the summer, but they are absolutely going to be a threat if they are fully healthy for a playoff run.

Knicks seem somewhat fraud-coded. Still a good roster though.

On paper Detroit shouldn’t be this good, but they’ve been the most reliable team.

Wild card is Sixers with Embiid’s health. We know who Maxey and Embiid are at 100%. Edgecombe has been brilliant on both ends. Great rookie season.
