Constructive Criticism Only-What Can The Magic Do To Get Off The Schneid?

[Sudanese Sensation]

Will they turn things around against the Knicks?

[elartman1973]

Magic are fine and ahead of schedule
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
It's not like they are a finished product much less healthy.
They were a lottery team last season. Idiots bashing them for losing games vs teams who have been contending for years is severely low NBA IQ and pretty ignorant.
Magic will get better and better every year. The best pkatmyers are several years away from their prices.

Theres absolutely nothing wrong with the magic. It's not a do or die season like certain teams I won't mention that the Magic are already well ahead of

[Sudanese Sensation]

The Magic would be a great 90s team

Sure a lottery team.

Need better spacing.

They could consider making a shot when they shoot it instead of missing.

The season began with such promise. Do you think there's still time for them to resume their winning ways?

Like I told Artman a while ago (and is currently being illustrated in real time), the fact they have a non-shooting roster and limited shooting/scoring talent puts a hard cap on their ceiling. No tier one or two superstars (or even tier three, tbh) does as well.

Over a large sample size, everything evens out.

In reality, there's nothing to be done with the current roster. It just has mediocre DNA, much like people in the general Orlando population. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

[elartman1973]

Magic are ahead of schedule. Imagine the idiots acting like they are supposed to be elite contenders after winning 34 games last season

What the fuck is wrong with you OBSESSED losers?

Are you that triggered that I was right all along?
The best players are still years away from their primes. Not 1 or 2 or even 3 years but more like 5 or 6 .it's not a one year window dumbfucks. They will be better every season and on pace for 50+ as is
Grow up.
Theres many teams you can be bashing this season. The magic are definitely not among them.
Facts

[Bush4Ever.]

Artman is FURIOUS at how he's been publicly humbled.

lol

So we shouldn't reserve judgment for a few more years why they have time to jell?

If they are 'ahead of schedule,' how many wins were they then scheduled for this season, after 34 last season?

There's a thousand things that can happen between now and then, so no.

In virtually no case do things go to plan for a franchise over a five year-window or so.

Orlando is certainly not an exception to the rule, historically.

Imagine having a GOAT-Tier talent at center, and then pairing that talent with a new age Magic Johnson (1995), both in their mid 20s, and then having a .500 record five years later, with the team being led by a guy who wasn't even drafted (Darrell Armstrong).

If the board existed in 1995, Artman would have predicted four or five championships, not seeing Penny's future injury, or management's inept handling of Shaq's contract, the excitement of being a successful new franchise evaporating, etc...

[elartman1973]

If you don't understand that Ingles is the x factor for tge second unit and Isaac on the floor is a game chager then you have no business commenting

More than the lakers

Ummm..humbled?
They take each game in stride with the same emotion win or lose. There's zero to humble.
Do the research. Nobody was saying shit and all know it's about the big picture. Unlike you morons.
Magic are fine and missing very key x factor players. If you don't know then why are you even commenting like you do?

What if Paolo and Franz are Magic lifers?

Should be expectibg them to win every game and bloging up the board when they lose.
Thats just stupidity and pretending as if they got worse is even more stupidity
Win streak was no fluke. It's the reality when the right guys are healthy. Offense and defense don't work the same without them


And thinking a 21 year old and 22 year old are in their primes is ignorant

You went from "championship" to "top 5 in East" to "well, they improved from 34 wins last year" in a span of like five games.

lol

Like a modern poet said, if if was a fifth, we'd all be drunk.

Except Artman. He'd be drunk AND fat.

Bush needs to account for the possibility/probability that the core of Jalen, Franz, and Paolo will be the cornerstone of the Magic for years.
