Orlando Magic’s National Television NIGHTMARE Continues | Same problems PLAGUE Magic again
The Orlando Magic fell to the Atlanta Hawks 127-112 as they again struggled to step to the plate on national TV. Their familiar issues of turnovers, fouling and inconsistent defense plagued them as they collapsed again.
The Magic missed shots, and that seemed to be the catalyst for the team’s frustrations and collapse once again. It is part of a pattern against quality competition that is holding the Magic back early in the season.
So how do they fix it? That is a much more complicated question and one the Magic must answer to reach their potential and meet their expectations.
Otherwise, the team might need to consider more drastic changes.

Why do we lose intensity on the high stage? Frustrating and embarrassing.
Like I said before this is the same trash team from last year .. all they did is add 1 shooter 😂 that can’t shoot… just like last year, 1 shooter is not gonna help this team.
Is also crazy ever since Paolo , Franz , Suggs , Carter got hurt they came back playing worst💩 smh
We need a rebuilt. Our players are trash like I said before our players are not consistent scorers. Specially
“Ball hog Banchero”
National Tragedy 🚨
They seem to keep getting the ball right where it’s supposed to be but then they pass it an unwise extra time to someone in a worse position, someone who’s not ready for it or the other team.
We lack any sort of quickness to get downhill. Everything is so plodding. It’s the ugliest basketball I’ve seen in a while. Bad bad turnovers, awful shooting. Driving, getting in the air and making bad passes.
We’re not close. This is looking like a disaster
Suggs needs to go. We need a real PG who will take this shit seriously. The behind the back ridiculousness continues while we can’t make the simple play. He’s too erratic. We need stability and playmaking
Also this team lacks explosion and athleticism. Even Franz and P5 our best one on one isolation players more often than not end up on the FT line cause neither one can explode past their man and up to the hoop. How many times did Franz get blocked last night? Bane also lacks burst
I'll be watching the lowlights until we get it together
Im over this team. If they dont care enough to play hard i dont care enough to watch ✌️
Yes there’s an easy fix. Fire the coach. There’s no way possible you can defend anything you’ve seen from this team with the talent they have. It’s literally inexcusable. Believing different is foolishness.
35:03 he still plays like a guy that is learning basketball. So many draft whiffs for this FO
1. Suggs is showing he’s immature and a show off.
2. We currently have no leadership on the court. That’s why things fall apart when things aren’t going their way (shooting, foul calls, turnovers, etc)
3. Wendell Carter is mentally fragile and it rubs off on the starting lineup.
I watched it for about a half, saw they werent giving a lick of effort, and decided to spend my night doing other things. Not worth my time if they aren't trying to actually win. NBA season is too damn long if so many freaking games dont matter. I feel bad for any magic fans that are scaping $ together to watch them live and see them give no effort. I genuinely believe Paolo and Bane want out of Orlando so they half ass often.
5 first round picks for 9 points is tough!!!
Bane needs to get up 10 threes in one of the next couple games…this ain't cutting it 😞
This team blows, not watching whole games from them until they actually get their s**t together
The amount of times I stared off into nowhere watching this game was infinite.
Bunch of clowns on this team who get paid way too much
What is it about putting on a Magic jersey that makes you inept at three point shooting????
A good coach puts its players in position to succeed and Mosley has proven time and again he cant do it.
Let’s STOP defending people and start HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
Black should start and Suggs should come off the bench. Coaching sucks!
They lack effort especally inside, they are not finishing strong and they are not defending the paint. Starts there. Games like this you have a team that wins all on effort and the Magic just are playing like its still pre-season.
