Love the intro
Tyus Jones is washed
Jett Howard might be the worst defender in the league. We’ve needed shooting for years and he has one supposed skill…it has nothing to do with us not giving him a chance. He sucks
We’ve also ridden JI for 8 years to get 15mpg and zero offense
Not me rewinding just to see the intro. 😅
Terror… on church street
I thought Bane was supposed to be a 40% career 3pt shooter?
JI asked to be taken out because he was gassed.. he needs consistency so he can build that endurance and stamina.
man this sounds like a therapy session lol i love this podcast go magic i have faith we can turn this thing around
Sometimes we, magi fans, are part of the problem. We just need to calm down… it's a loooooong season folks.
AB breakout year!
I disagree, Jett got plenty of opportunities last year. His defense was just awful and he seemed a bit immature.
They need to fire Mosley, this is not his second year coaching this team! He has been in Orlando for 5 years! And he has all ways been bad with rotations and calling timeouts. He is not the guy… good development coach, bad X’s and O’s coach… fire his ass
