    The theme of opposing teams shooting above their average from the 3 point line has carried on from like 3 coaches now

    They've been shitty on the defensive end for such a long time, I think fans forgot that teams shouldn't have wide open 3's 15 times a night.

    The way I'm seeing it, he doesn't have an outside shot and everyone knows it, so he's trying to use his speed but there aren't any lanes. He looks like a guy who just doesn't have an NBA move. Shaedon has always had a beautiful shot.

    oh ur just trying to use numbers to make ur argument.. and ur leaving far too many untied loose ends... ill beat u with ur own logic...


    4 shots in the first quarter...

    2 of those shots (makes) happened in the first 75 seconds of the game.... so thats where the other lesser players derailed the offense, with POOR SHOT SELECTION... n u guys just keep screaming about the coach...

    Is Ayton ever going to touch the ball?

    I would argue, and I think the team would argue this too, that Shaedon is significantly more important to the team than Ayton is. Shaedon is the one who needs shots, and game play.

    This was the one game in the first 10 weeks had a chance of winning. We aren't going to get a win for a long long time.

    Fuck the Magic. They have been getting calls all night and they throw a huge fit any time they get called for a foul.

    There are a lot of things this team needs (Ayton being engaged and not getting as many cheap fouls called is one of them).

    Any resemblance of an offensive system would be a nice start and probably a coach that doesn't just sit there picking his nose.

    I don’t expect the team to be good but like, Ayton is here for offense. It’s on Chauncey to find ways to get him the ball instead of having the offense just be 3 guys freelancing.
