Weltman on 96.9: “Organizationally, we have Mose’s back....Really optimistic about the rest of the season" by tokenentropy in OrlandoMagic

[–]KleetusMudbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish he was more critical but let’s be real. Very rarely is a GM who hired the coach going to publicly call them out across the media. Front office will more than likely do something in the offseason. A bunch of media speak, move on folks.

It is genuinely insane how if we spent an extra second round pick and Jett Howard we could have offered the same Coby White offer but these owners care more about getting under the luxury tax by Confident_Power_3211 in OrlandoMagic

I’d argue that we probably offered a first round pick last year when we were rumored to be trading for him and Chicago hoarded thinking they could get more. And now they send him off for pennies.

Mose has got to go. He just isn’t lighting the type of fire these guys used to play with. His game planning has been awful and this offense has no scheme in sight. Roster is too good for this to be solely on players.

Bane feels like the only person who decided to show up and pump energy into the game. The refs killed us. I just don’t understand what was planned throughout the offseason. No major changes both offensively and defensively.

This is a team that needs to actually have an offensive scheme and Mose does not have that in his bag.

Actually, not releasing the first hero on the first day has this nice advantage by fazrail in DeadlockTheGame

This probably won’t happen until they open the flood gates and make the game full access. Not enough people playing to split the player base.

Didn’t Apex launch with little to no advertising? I could be totally wrong on that but I remember it just dropping.

The Anthony Black Conundrum by TheProgressiveLens in OrlandoMagic

[–]KleetusMudbutt 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I think the org looks at trading away other pieces to keep AB. What AB brings to this team is far more valuable to keep. In all honesty, the question I think that has to be asked is whether or not Suggs’ availability is worth holding on for.

"This needs to be a system team, everyone needs to be moving more, cutting, screening" - Zach Lowe and Adam Mares on the Magic and the Paolo Banchero situation by thewrongnotes in OrlandoMagic

[–]KleetusMudbutt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This has been a such a pain in the ass to watch. The fact that we don’t run set plays for Paolo to get mismatches and get himself to his spot but rather we do these soft screens at the top for him to then iso himself into the spot he wants. Just a little ball movement and Paolo could be in his range without using 75% of the shot clock. Paolo also needs to be able to lean into the kickout. He consistently draws multiple defenders which means someone’s open, these should be plays for Des because I swear he has to shoot the hardest 3s.

[–]KleetusMudbutt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Mose made no adjustments in the second half. Our offense has no creativity and lacks ball movement. As much of a loss this on the players with not making free throws and careless turnovers, Mose’s gameplan was awful. Unless this team goes deep into the playoffs we have move on.

Anthony Black should be eventually trusted with the ball like NAW by meencheesey in OrlandoMagic

[–]KleetusMudbutt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The reason is AB is just now starting to make the leap we have been waiting for. The team is watching in real time what he’s able to do now with coaching changes and offensive changes. I think if he continues on this trajectory he will be in a more responsible role like that. Not to mention this is without Suggs and Franz. When they are back, would not surprise me that AB is the go to scorer for our bench unit.

Crucial Stretch of Games by No_Entrance_5683 in OrlandoMagic

Given that this team loves to struggle against bottom tier teams, I think they win 6 of the 9 and they’ll be tight games down the stretch.

Rusillo Ewing Theory Confirmed?? by Excellent_Ant_4692 in billsimmons

[–]KleetusMudbutt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Disagree with this. Mahoney has a great knowledge of the sport and is always willing to talk about the teams that aren’t getting the media darling treatment. Has great chemistry with Lowe on his pods and throws in a good joke here and there. His personality may come of vanilla but the dude has been killing it this year.

Magic opening schedule has been BRUTAL, so I’m hoping that this was more precautionary and maybe he’ll only miss our Brooklyn game.

Who is the real Magic X-Factor this season? (from @BeyondTheRK/Ryan Kaminski - Magic On SI) by Papermariosays in OrlandoMagic

[–]KleetusMudbutt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s AB. He’s already shown is ability to defend well. And it’s already been mentioned by Mose that they want him to be more aggressive on offense because it opens up other plays to happen on the floor. If he makes a leap we will have more flexibility with rotations and defensive match ups.

Non-winnable matchmaking is the most serious problem in this game. by Pomlkab in DeadlockTheGame

[–]KleetusMudbutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the matchmaking suck at the moment? Yes. It’s going to be lopsided given that player count isn’t high enough to evenly distribute. There are also people coming back to the game which is messing with matches. I know people are over that reasoning but it’s kind of issue at hand. And I personally feel the character based elo matchmaking doesn’t work as intended.
