    This game would be way more ugly if the magic had a respectable free throw %

    I absolutely can't stand when a team gets calls all fucking night and then complains when a call goes against them.

    It’s actually crazy how much worse the team looks on both ends with Scoot. I expect worse, but the different is too big.

    Well, so much for that strong end of the 3rd quarter.

    Boys, we may be challenging the lowest win total in the history of the league. Watch out, Bobcats!

    I’m just really not that sold on Billups coaching acumen and I’ve really tried to give him the benefit of the doubt.

    He's just going way too fast. Keeps pressing. The foul trouble also not helping as he keeps second guessing everything.

    Someone get him some yoga classes.

    Not quite. This team has 3 active players from last years roster. They need time to gel. I don’t think they’ll be good, but..,

    Or even some pick and pops; I think Ayton would do well with that.

    Yes, he had 4 shots in the 1st quarter, which is 16 for the game. Which is more than he's ever averaged in his *career*.

    It's not the coaches fault he picked up quick fouls (well, it's his fault he kept him in the game).

    Are you like his cousin or something? Ayton isn't good enough to have someone complain this much about his lack of shots.

    Scoot almost looks as if his confidence is shot.

    It's not even about the playoffs. It's about not looking like a team playing pickup basketball.

    Maybe Shaedon should take some PED's and get suspended for some of the year instead.
