Orlando Magic crumble again in near-Playoff battle #orlandomagic
Another game the Orlando Magic needed a playoff effort to climb the standings… another game where the Magic crumbled at the first sign of trouble.
Not even Franz Wagner’s return could fix the Magic in a 130-101 loss.

same story, can't shoot. Franz rusty first game back.
Disappointment is not even a word for this team! You are always going to loss when you play like kids in a grown man's game
We are cooked we not making to the playoffs!
Hot garbage
To the DeVos family and anyone with the Orlando Magic who might take the time to read this, I want to start on a positive note: thank you for investing in this team, for the new facilities that help keep our players healthy, and for the rebranding of merchandise. Those efforts are appreciated.
However, as a dedicated fan for over 30 years, I can't help but express my disappointment with the current state of the team. After being promised that we'd be competitive for a championship, what we’ve seen instead is disheartening. I understand that you can’t coach heart or buy commitment, and I don’t want to pile on the coach—he has my best wishes. But from top to bottom, there needs to be serious evaluation and accountability.
Watching this team has been painful, even during a seven-game winning streak. The heart is missing, and the pride is nonexistent. While I know players typically don’t play where they’re from, they carry the hopes and dreams of a city that longs for relevance in the championship conversation. Where is the pride? Where is the winning spirit?
How can I justify letting my children watch this team and call it basketball? How can I rationalize the time and money we invest? I understand it’s just a game, and there are more pressing issues in the world, but you are putting out a product, and that product is broken. We need real answers, not scripted excuses.
It feels like the Magic’s podcasters are the only ones keeping this fandom sane, as the media seems hesitant to ask the tough questions. Please, give us a product we can be proud of, something we can truly cheer for. We want to be relevant again—no more half measures, no more excuses. I’m tired of being part of the Orlando Tragic.
FIRE MOSLEY!!!!
What do you expect bro.
The team is 💩
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 all i can do is laugh, same thing every game
We are a jaguars city now…time to turn the page on this franchise
Idk how we are even the 8th seed at this point
You should trade Jett & Goga for a 1st in this draft. You need a new GM, & Coach. GM first. It’s fun when the magic go on a run like back with Dwight or shaq. Get a center in the draft that has a defensive mindset. It all starts with the GM. Y’all have so much potential. Banchero is the second most dominant PF in the league. Don’t wast his greatness
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢…all I can do is cry since this is so sad. Outscored 105-73 in the last 3 quarters. Another pathetic performance against a playoff team. Last two games are a 52 point loss and a 29 point loss against Eastern conference playoff teams. Good bye Mosley, Good bye Mosley, Good bye Mosley, please take Weltman with you as you go.
Let’s be real magic are out in the first round
Where is Franz ?
This is bad but I don't understand why people blame Weltman. There is a lot of talent on this team snd it's because of him. Blame Mose. These players are tired of his platitudes.
Paolo trash last hawks game crowd was screaming overrated for a reason coach should play him lik amen Thompson cuz he can’t shoot with tht slow build up jump shot & 5 picks for me t rex who can’t play Defense
This team really underperformed.!! What’s going on here, talent’s there, this team needs a psychological help..! Something’s wrong here
Paolo sucks weltman sucks mosely sucks medical staff sucks suggs sucks wendell carter sucks the organization sucks and the team is always injured. Pathetic trash like always
Zero draft picks 2 fire yall Gm 😂
We need to get back to the intense defense of last year. Let the terrible offense and frigid shooting be helped by forcing turnovers. Can we even hope for the 8th seed?
There are alot of questions to ask.
What kind of mistakes did the 240 million dollar player PB do over and over?
Even I see. When PB slow dribbles in iso in center on perimeter, every opponent now sends a help defender to steal the ball. And it works.
I have seen that in how many? 8 games now. Iso slow dribble wide stance and some guard comes by and steals it. Pathetic to do it over and over again.
And then there were some so called drives that ended in Turnovers that looked like that guy is slow like a 55 years old and half blind. It was unbelievable for a 240 million dollar player honestly.
Further who the f is giving out the order to let suggs shoot 3s in the moment when the opponent runs away and we just can't hit a 3.
The last thing when the opponent is on a run is to take a shot that just doesn't work that day. Horrible.
And Mosley did really not react when they were running away.
That lineup looked helpless on both ends.
He had to react much much earlier because it was obvious the lineup did not find any solutions on both ends but he kept them on until 14 points down or sth. Brutally bad. I could not believe that 😢
What a terrible end to a season!
Just waiting for the play in atp bro 😂
Same Old MF Orlando Magic.
Can't get right when it matters. Typical Orlando BS.
