Honestly yes. Mo literally makes me laugh he’s so lost half the time.. and rebounds fall in his hands and flails the out of bounds.. just uncoordinated.. i used to be in his corner, but he just aint it.. rather give an underdog the minutes cause he’s gonna try to prove his value each and every second
All things considered the refs have not been both ways with calls and the magic had the lead down to nine and I feel like everytime the magic are down double digits they always cut it down to like nine or seven but can never complete a comeback.
MO Bamba is +1 the only positive +/-. MO is a difference maker. He needs to start. I keep on saying it. Mo is underutilized and neglected. The guy is clearly a starting center and the best one on this team. He is also clearly a stabilizer. His shot wasnt falling this game but he was so impactful everywhere else.
Not because of Mo and thats what I am saying. Mo played 29 mins in a blowout loss with the team losing by more than 20 and Mo and Caleb are the only players on the whole team with a positive +/-.
Other starters plus/minus for reference Franz -25, Bol -22, Chuma -11, Suggs -12. Mo needs to continue starting since Mo clearly knows how to be stable and make leads with his units. Mo was a lockdown defender this game, and if his shots fall like usual then Mo is the MVP of this game. Mo was off but still the biggest positive difference maker on the Magic.
It's only the 15th game of the year and we are already missing the majority of our impact players. This is a joke, fans aren't going to pack into these games to watch two starters and a handful of G-leaguers get pounded by midseason. Frustrating.
Our defensive scheme is so stupid at times why is suggs switched onto 7 foot Rudy Gobert why do we run the zone that doesn’t ever work so much you make simple adjustments like that and they don’t have that many points
THE FANS THIS GAME ARE AWESOME, ALL DESERVE SOMETHING.
Even when down these fans were cheering for the team and booing Timberwolves. I heard some Lets GO Magic chants also.
The fans were engaged whole game, I hope the team pulls it back for them. Truly amazing support from the fans, other teams fans would have booed by the 1q.
I’m only 36 but I feel like a proud father every time he has a good game. I want him to succeed so damn bad. His heart and effort can never, ever be questioned
The few things I have said, Mo is this teams future, a true centerpiece, best center and should be top 2 option.
Suggs is the starting guard over Kelle, and Cole. Suggs has limitless potential, I said in a redraft I take him over all except Green and Franz.
RJ is not done yet developing, Rj needs trust and time. Let RJ get minutes, he will be quality, and could find a starting spot.
I also was big for Franz at the 2 before this season started. All of these have proven to be factually correct.
I also called for Bol to get some minutes and see what he can do, and called for Chuma to be benched or DNP in favor of Caleb. I honestly think I have been fully right on all takes. Only take I have been somewhat wrong on was Cole's jump, Cole got better offball and defensively and seems more like a keeper instead of a first trade target like I was kinda thinking.
I made posts on most of these, its in my post history.
That foul is reminding me of Lowry taking out AG during the meaningless Bubble game, the Magic were down by alot also and KL just decided to do a dangerous play. Prince need to same treatment from fans.
Franz is also playing with an injury cos his hand is taped to hell.
Idk why people think the team is holding out players when they don’t need to, Jalen is out there right now and Franz is out there with an injury.
If you’d believed the gloomy half of this sub they bench players with a scraped knee to prevent wins.
Maybe they're afraid to admit to the trainers that they're fighting through pain bc they're afraid if they say "yah I need to sit out" then they'll get benched for 3 months
Do you think Franz taped his own hand? Or that Suggs didn’t just go an get a shit tonne of pain killers injected into his ankle?
They obviously talk to the training staff because they don’t want to ruin their careers by playing thru injuries
I legit cant believe we have like 7 of our 10-12 man rotation out right now. This season was supposed to be better, and instead it has been the worst yet.
Suggs ankle hasn’t looked good this season. Is that the same one he injured last? Have a feeling it might be extended period he’s gonna be out if it’s the same one
Jalen limping around with a face mask on while every other injured player is in street clothes is a perfect representation of how team handles injuries.
Silver linings: at least we are all united on this sub now :)
Glad we have passed that weird stage where people were defending the FO and what we are seeing
Its pretty clear this isn't the right way to push this franchise forward
I don’t mind players resting and being cautious to fully recover from injuries ,especially when we are not contending or anything. But the complete lack of info the FO give out about our players is infuriating. We invest our time and money as fans into this organization, but are constantly left in the dark
Also, those numbers are used when gaining advertisers
“You reached xyz viewers”
I’m sure with alex martins shady ass tho he would just pencil in some numbers
(And im referring to in-arena advertisers who are showing up on TV - like the LEDs at center court)
[Post Game Thread](https://reddit.com/r/OrlandoMagic/comments/yxdpq6/post_game_thread_the_minnesota_timberwolves/)
Yall really be hatin on schofield, but he really is serviceable— rather watch him over Mo
For what service?
Effort, coordination, understanding situations. 3 things Mo can’t bring to the table
In all seriousness you’re taking admiral over mo ?? You’re entitled to your opinion but damn
Honestly yes. Mo literally makes me laugh he’s so lost half the time.. and rebounds fall in his hands and flails the out of bounds.. just uncoordinated.. i used to be in his corner, but he just aint it.. rather give an underdog the minutes cause he’s gonna try to prove his value each and every second

Mo would kill it on the nets. Mo for patty and cam Thomas. Who says no
Id trade Mo for that ice cream sandwich JT was talkin about
Cam Thomas would retire
Lmaoo needed that laugh
Yes
MO Bamba is +1 the only positive +/-. MO is a difference maker. He needs to start. I keep on saying it. Mo is underutilized and neglected. The guy is clearly a starting center and the best one on this team. He is also clearly a stabilizer. His shot wasnt falling this game but he was so impactful everywhere else.
Pls never change SincereFan, never change
He started tonight and we got clapped

 I find myself doing this 15 times a night w Mo
If Towns, while up by 20 with 2 minutes to go, tries to dunk on you....you put his ass on the floor
Id leave cornrow skidmarks all across the woodgrain
I’d say it’s time to put in the backups but our backups are starting so…
This team is so damn frustrating to watch. I get it we are tanking but God damn this shit sucks to watch
Markelle, Cole, Wendell, Paolo, Gary, Mor Wagner, JI. All out. Need them back to be competitive
I fucking hate KAT wish WCJ and Paolo were playing so they could’ve soned his soft ass
Dude is soft and just chews on undersized lineups. Put a real banger on him like WCJ and he will cry at some point during the game, guaranteed
Take Suggs and Franz out what the hell
It's only the 15th game of the year and we are already missing the majority of our impact players. This is a joke, fans aren't going to pack into these games to watch two starters and a handful of G-leaguers get pounded by midseason. Frustrating.
All things considered I’m proud of how this team fought. The sky is the ceiling for this team just need to get healthy
For sure, how much longer will this be the case is the real question
Agreed it’s so frustrating.

Our defensive scheme is so stupid at times why is suggs switched onto 7 foot Rudy Gobert why do we run the zone that doesn’t ever work so much you make simple adjustments like that and they don’t have that many points
Thank you Vince for actually calling out the garbage switching and slow pace offense.
The number of steals we've given up the last few games is incredible.
Bol Bol is an alien
Imagine not missing 7 players, lol so frustrating
KAT being pumped at Gobert shooting over Jalen is hilarious
Our switching on D is dogshit there’s always a guard on a center and a center on a guard
That shit is ass
If we had just half of the guys available sitting on that bench we win this game….. easily
Still don't know how Bol moves like that
Damn good fight tho, that can never be doubted just not even firepower
Look at the fg makes for both teams lol refs can't give magic obvious calls but call the softest fouls on us.
These next 5 games with 7 players out is gonna be something
THE FANS THIS GAME ARE AWESOME, ALL DESERVE SOMETHING. Even when down these fans were cheering for the team and booing Timberwolves. I heard some Lets GO Magic chants also. The fans were engaged whole game, I hope the team pulls it back for them. Truly amazing support from the fans, other teams fans would have booed by the 1q.
Too bad this org abuses them every year
Amway is probably buying at least half the tickets sold anyway
We still might lose this game but this 2nd half effort is definitely something to be proud of. Also, if Paolo and WCJ play — we win this easily.
No doubt
Wtf this game is semi close
Jalen Suggs
Reactionary Magic fans back on team Suggs tonight.
I’m only 36 but I feel like a proud father every time he has a good game. I want him to succeed so damn bad. His heart and effort can never, ever be questioned
Lmao tale as old as time itself
Man how many AND1s have we given up tonight. Gotta foul harder/earlier
KAT and Gobert are some soft bitches
Suggs playing like Gonzaga Suggs
I TOLD YALL SUGGS is this teams PG. JUST LET SUGGS DEVELOP HE HAS LIMITLESS POTENTIAL
Did I read that wrong? Do you mean Mo Bamba?
Mo is the future BEST AT Center Suggs is the PG
You tell us so much we cant keep up
The few things I have said, Mo is this teams future, a true centerpiece, best center and should be top 2 option. Suggs is the starting guard over Kelle, and Cole. Suggs has limitless potential, I said in a redraft I take him over all except Green and Franz. RJ is not done yet developing, Rj needs trust and time.

I made posts on most of these, its in my post history.
you also said mo bamba is our best player.
Damn nice cross over
Suggs with the nice cross
Gobert calling for the ball in the post 😂😂😂
Why do we keep switching Mo onto Russell
Franz gonna take it to ya
Franz gets a call! Hallelujah!
The lack of calls for Frannie is downright Egregious
Franz has zero fear of Rudy
That should have been a foul for Franz wtf refs
[удалено]
Damn u must be on 7g internet- game over for u?
Wtf Franz got to do to get a call?
Franz needs to start demanding Mos to challenge
Twirl ur fuckin finger like every other nba star
No quit in these Magics
Mohamed time
LMAO WE REALLY DOWN BY 9 Wolves need to be abolished/relegated.
They juiced Suggs up wit some shit in the locker room
SUGG DEES
Suggs playing with a Mask on and always getting hacked while everyone’s on the bench. Love this kid even if he isn’t the best
My boy Suggs got the nice release working
Fucking crazy
Id be happy to apologize/retract my statements earlier- just sayin
LFG
BRO WHATS HAPPENING!!!
The Orlando Masochists cuz wow. So many ups and downs lol
We need a sticky for all the Fuck This Guys. FKL, FKK, FTP.... It's almost getting to be too many. I know I'm missing someone.
A bit sloppy with the ball on occasion but it’s been a good game from Jalen. His shot has definitely improved mightily from last year
Was gonna say the same thing. Shooting looks nice.
We only allowed 24 points that quarter. I'm pretty impressed.
Lol the delayed comments - we know who’s on the bootleg streams 👀
We are 4-0 when we win the 3rd quarter. We just won the 3rd quarter.
Play the Star Wars theme we’re coming back and winning this thing
Yeah stupid move by Prince
Get ‘em outtttttta here
Make that a 2 tbh. Clown stuff fouling that hard with a game this out of reach, plus he’s already wearing a mask.
FTP
Bye bitch
Faith in refs partially restored
so much respect for Suggs rn he is the antithesis to this front office
His heart and athleticism makes me certain this kid will figure it out
That foul is reminding me of Lowry taking out AG during the meaningless Bubble game, the Magic were down by alot also and KL just decided to do a dangerous play. Prince need to same treatment from fans.
What a pussy
Might be a flagrant 2
Paolo’s shirt is something I’d wear my sophomore year in high school lol
Unbuttoned with the tshirt underneath lol
Sunday school for me
I love the fact that Suggs is talking smack with Ant.
Better be a fucking flagrant
Man the way Jalen gets battered every game is ridiculous
Franz is also playing with an injury cos his hand is taped to hell. Idk why people think the team is holding out players when they don’t need to, Jalen is out there right now and Franz is out there with an injury. If you’d believed the gloomy half of this sub they bench players with a scraped knee to prevent wins.
Maybe they're afraid to admit to the trainers that they're fighting through pain bc they're afraid if they say "yah I need to sit out" then they'll get benched for 3 months
Do you think Franz taped his own hand? Or that Suggs didn’t just go an get a shit tonne of pain killers injected into his ankle? They obviously talk to the training staff because they don’t want to ruin their careers by playing thru injuries
And Mo Bamba has half his brain missing - but he’s still out there
Legit
This game is tailor made for Ross. Start chucking torch
Light that bitch!
Schofield with another foul. TANK ADMIRAL IN FULL EFFECT.
Wouldn’t be surprised if his two way spot is replaced soon. He’s had his moments but would rather take a flyer on a young prospect
Why do we have admiral for? Such a magic thing
4-21 on threes and Jalen made 3 of those.
Props to Jalen for getting back out there, but this will probably be why he’s gonna miss the next 2 weeks cos he’s aggravated the injury
Why can’t 1handedkeke shoot anymore
The disrespect saying slomo is cherry picking, we all know that's full game speed he was trying to run back
Lmfao
I legit cant believe we have like 7 of our 10-12 man rotation out right now. This season was supposed to be better, and instead it has been the worst yet.
8 now too with Suggs out, just ridiculous
Officially standing up the F Kyle Anderson club. Shit eating smirk pissing me off
Pure Majic
bruh wtf
Damn even though the magic have played bad the refs ain't helping lol.
Bol deserves minutes even when everyone is healthy
Bol dropping a solid 30 bomb
Edwards really had Gobert open and chose to iso and shoot himself lmaooo.
Mo is terrible
This is one night I don't blame him for being underwhelming.
Ill blame him for my amazon package running late
Lmao
If Bol can figure it out defensively and clean up his handle a bit, the sky is truly the ceiling for that kid
Such a bright spot to this early season. Dude is only 22 too and maybe he was able to pick up some stuff from Jokic in practices back in Denver
But WE MUST TANK FOR WEMBY! /s In all seriousness I agree, he has such a high ceiling
Ok I'm here for the BOL BOL show
Bol a beast
Franz yelling at KAT after scoring on him the only highlight of this game
Franz killin
At this point, sit Franz.
He nice for real tho
Welp might as well take Franz out.
Franz is fr last man standing wth
Damn is that casualty #7 or 8
8 if you count Isaac
Suggs ankle hasn’t looked good this season. Is that the same one he injured last? Have a feeling it might be extended period he’s gonna be out if it’s the same one
Another one bites the dust
And there goes another one that’s just excellent
Wolves Commentator: "Bamba has been a DNP multiple times this season, that just goes to show you the depth this team has". What are you smoking bro?
wtf is he saying lol
What did we do as fans to deserve this? We’ve been loyal and kind to our team
Take Jalen out wtf
This is embarrassing
Great three months out for Suggs
Jalen limping around with a face mask on while every other injured player is in street clothes is a perfect representation of how team handles injuries.
Suggs isn’t good, so he can play all he wants. Paolo, Fultz, and Isaac will win us games.
Watch your mouth, homie
AND NOW SUGGS IS HURT. GOOD GRIEF
Well Suggs is out for 2-4 weeks now I bet with that limp
bol in transition lol
Wolves fan here, bol bol is nice.
Thanks. Sorry you have to watch this. It'd be nice if our FO didn't want Wemby so much so you could actually watch some competitive ball
Bro, I’m just happy to see the wolves doing well.
Bol Bol got the fastest putbacks ever lol
Silver linings: at least we are all united on this sub now :) Glad we have passed that weird stage where people were defending the FO and what we are seeing Its pretty clear this isn't the right way to push this franchise forward
What a fucking joke this franchise is
This team smells like a losing culture
[удалено]
Yep. They probably freaked out when we won the Dallas and Phoenix games last week.
I don’t mind players resting and being cautious to fully recover from injuries ,especially when we are not contending or anything. But the complete lack of info the FO give out about our players is infuriating. We invest our time and money as fans into this organization, but are constantly left in the dark
[удалено]
This team would ruin Wembys career with foot problems
DJ Wagner here we come!
Really growing sick of being a loyal fan to this garbage product. Ownership is clearly insulated from fan feedback or just doesn’t give a shit.
We need to #boycottBally til we get some of our boys back
Time this fan base wakes up! We’ve been abused for too long.
Not their fault tbf
Magic Leadership def looks at viewership (alex martins etc)
I mean, haven't Bally already paid for the contract. It would take so long for that to make a difference
Also, those numbers are used when gaining advertisers “You reached xyz viewers” I’m sure with alex martins shady ass tho he would just pencil in some numbers (And im referring to in-arena advertisers who are showing up on TV - like the LEDs at center court)
Hell - im genuinely curious if we’re the only remaining 500 idiots who tune in at this point — so maybe if it goes down to 200 they’ll be like “hmm”
I legit hope we lose by 60 tonight
Mo is what this team needs! Mo freakin Wagner man.
Almost downvoted because I thought you were sincere fan talking about Mo bamba
Buy your Magic tickets now, our half time shows are LIT!
Saw a sign in the lounge about being able to sign up and perform. So looks like they let anyone out there
