Orlando Magic’s Offensive Woes: How injuries are still the story
The Orlando Magic found their spirit and their defensive energy for the first time in a while and gave themselves a chance to win. But they still found themselves trying to play catch up as their offense struggled once again and gave away their lead in the third quarter.
Orlando took the lead with four minutes to go but limped to the finish. Their margin for error remains too small even in a game where the team put the pieces together.

Freefall. This really really hurts
I hate this team at least I won’t be let down near April I know now they aren’t good enough to make noise. 💔
We are not enough. 📉
Ab needs to be traded for sure
this team is lacking in energy, confidence, and grit; something that wasnt a problem with mo around. stop with the "HiGh ChArAcTeR" versatile wings already and go get real hoopers not these castrated aau good boys. we need guys that are mad at the other team just for existing. suggs is a great great excellent defender, but he also gives jared mccain vibes sometimes 💅 this team needs everything mo wag brings
I had to google egalitarian 😑
We’re past the point of moral victories. Time to face reality and shift course. The all defense thing didn’t work. It’s important the FO acknowledge this and avoid tripling down on this all defense design. The league isn’t gonna allow d to beat offense. Its not good for viewership and 🤑
The 1 player here through most of the injuries was Suggs. He goes down we look totally different reminiscent of Paolo rookie year we lost all our guards and go 5-20 to start the year. AB is a less aggressive MCW at his best is still MCW we need to move him now as that’s not gonna work with Paolo and Franz it’s why we let Fultz go. We need an aggressive guard Suggs for all his shortcomings is aggressive it makes a difference.
We are done!!..11 lost out of 13. Is that enough to be disgusted??..
Kept saying from summer. We get rid of our best player: Markelle Fultz. He was HIM.
the only change we made.
Rebuilding team in two years. We are done.
Might as well keep tanking at this point
At shoot around Paola said golden st has good coaching and a offensive system that they been playing for along time… That's him taking shots at our coaching staff. Paolo told them he wanted a true point guard we all know they needed shooting… But they signed kcp and resigned ji and Gary Harris.. and every day u blaming Paola his agent is Mike miller he knows the magic is B's don't be surprised if Paola don't sign the extension. And do say they got one of the best shooters in kcp. He averaged one made 3 point basket a game last yr that's not one of the best shooters
Awesome quote about them not stepping up at the buffet to eat. Perfect example. AB with another 0 point game. Dude did not even attempt a shot and had one assist. He will never be a pg. Get over it. I'm still disgusted with the Jett over Grady pick. WTF?
Phill our starters are not enough either.
Palo -24
KCP – 20
AB – 11
Franz – 8
Goga – 19
Suggs return can’t fix that. I’m now a believer that regardless of injuries we were destined to fall apart at some point this season.
This guys are tired and hurt all star break will be needed very bad
Team just isnt gonna go anywhere with a 30th ranked offense in the league. Doesnt matter how good the defense is. Time to build a more balanced team instead of focusing on one side of the ball.
There is a couple things that bothers me about the Magic. I think Mosley is not matching the players well and the office have the mentality of a playoff team not a Championship team and that is the reason why Orlando is one of the worst organizations in the NBA, and that is why a lot of NBA players dont want to come here and play. They need a trade and a new coach. Just saying Mark Jackson is available for a coaching position and we need to get Trae Young or Simmons. If they don't do anything this year, I have been right all along, the Magic want to take away the money from the people so they can get richer and no championship.
