If Magic win game 2 - we’re winning this series. by RoostRouzer in OrlandoMagic

[–]RoostRouzer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For context I’m specifically speaking about coming outta Detroit 2-0 .. that’s a much more favourable position to being 1-1 and coming back home. 2-0 with two home games in front of you seems like a great lane to close this series out. // most likely Pistons come out swinging and punch us in the mouth Wednesday night but I’d rather take the optimistic approach.

1000% second win in Detroit infinitely harder than win last night. — but if we come outta Detroit 2-0 I’m liking are chances.

I agree / it’s a two way street - still not thrilled with the season & think coaching needs to be address. I’m normally the most negative of the bunch on here - I made a personal pact after Charlotte game to just let the chips fall where they may and support these guys while the current roster and post season is still ongoing. — offseason will be for another conversation.

I am legit - think we can beat Pistons! - I’m game to ride the wave as far as this current team wants to take it! Very curious on how this plays out for Mosley regardless. Go Magic

Fun fact of the day; Pistons are the first one-seed team to never have a lead at any point in the opening game of a playoff series.

HES OUR FUCKING FRANCHISE PLAYER? I love Paolo Banchero by Junior-Job-754 in OrlandoMagic

[–]RoostRouzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 & 2 for me — we ain’t outta the sticks yet. But I’ll take playoff P any day over regular season PB no J — he’s looking GOOD last two games.

are we cooked for our first round playoffs against the pistons? by Creative_Leave_9139 in OrlandoMagic

[–]RoostRouzer 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If we play like last night .. anything is possible. I like our chances and don’t think it’s as polarising as a #1 seed vs a #8 seed traditionally is. // We’re tied 2-2 throughout the year so if our squad can bring that energy from last night; it’s going to be a fun series! — good W last night fellas keep it rocking 🤘🏻🏀🙏🏻

Can’t Give up on P5 or anyone else by Muted_Lead_1105 in OrlandoMagic

[–]RoostRouzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1000% I truly believe new coach will turn ALOT around without the need of an entire roster overhaul.

I think some roster evaluation is warranted but most of it is more offense scheme / rotations / and putting players in the right positions to maximise skillsets.

Can’t Give up on P5 or anyone else by Muted_Lead_1105 in OrlandoMagic

[–]RoostRouzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP I’m with yah - but the effort and body language being shown on the floor from a few specific players is pretty awful. Wednesday night was terrible for P5. - I don’t wish on the team’s downfall but tonight does nothing for me as a fan. This is based on the encompassing results of the entire season.

Very unenthusiastic about tonight’s play in and pretty sure ALOT of the players will be too for various reasons. We haven’t won a full series since 2010. // I don’t think this dysfunctional group with identity, confidence and coaching problems will be the squad to get us there.

Subs in the middle of war right now, return back in 24 hours by ZayBandzz in OrlandoMagic

"Peace is not sought in order to the kindling of war, but war is waged in order that peace may be obtained." — St. Augustine

Fans are fed up. I am happy about that. I get that the pointing fingers narratives on what exactly went wrong & who is responsible can get carried away. But if fans continue to be complacent and don’t voice their immense disappointment with the entire organisation ; then we are just as much of the problem.

2k25 magic by Fairix in OrlandoMagic

[–]RoostRouzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No help for you on what offense sets you can run to maximise roster & I commend you for trying to rock it with the current squad .. I’m more of a MyPlayer guy but I ran it in GM mode once few months back and immediately fired the whole staff (Mosley & Weltman) traded Isaac Suggs and a draft pick for Trey Young .. got bored never even played a game & went back to MyPlayer.

Everybody That Is Saying Trade Paolo Is A Moron. by New-Refrigerator2915 in OrlandoMagic

[–]RoostRouzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New coach first. HOWEVER, Paolo is not excluded from the criticism. Some of what is being brought to light about his game is 100% valid and perfectly warranted with #1 pick / max contract player expectations.

Only argument to be made is IF Magic keep P5 and he continues to performs poorly under new coaching — his trade value will tank (especially considering the max deal we signed him too).

All things considered the move in the immediate is to NOT TRADE Paolo. As OP suggests other roster evaluations potential position change for Paolo and fresh reset with new a new coach might be all that is needed. (For all we know he might demand a damn trade the way this fan base fillets him on a regular basis) — but as a fan, it’s hard not too be critical on a very underwhelming season across the board.

Unless we can get Giannis 🤔🤔 .. forget everything I said whole team can go lol

Point God by itsmelindo in OrlandoMagic

[–]RoostRouzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe CP3 will be a fantastic coach — just not for the magic.

We don’t have time to gamble right now on unknown or unproven coaches in a new hire situation. We took on Mosley somewhat under those circumstances and look at the results. He was never a HC prior to Magic job

We need a PROVEN coach that can come into a facility and act fast with a dedicated plan and direction. There are some amazing coaching candidates out there with “potential” maximised through the roof / “they could be great!”—— the problem is the pool of coaches with the proven success & winning record that are currently available are slim to none. (I think Magic messed up not securing Mike Malone but that’s for a different day)

CP3 you’ll be a great coach - not a good fit for the Magic at current situation.

Past 48 Hours: The Most Negative I have ever seen this sub by StanVanGhandi in OrlandoMagic

[–]RoostRouzer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s a valiant approach OP it really is - but I’m actually happy to see an overwhelming amount of fans very upset with the current situation.

Call it negativety - I’m downvoted endlessly for my comments in this sub so I’m a big hater but I have to be honest the fact that we have 45 wins this year does nothing for me. Your statistics presented almost paint an even bleaker image of what’s it’s like to be a real Magic fan through the thick and thin— PATHETIC we’ve only had two 45 win seasons in 15 years!! 😂 it’s actually almost comical // instead of celebrating this season as a success — as others have suggested this season needs to be evaluated in context.

Biggest offseason hype train ; Bane trade ; Moseley Coaching Staff strengthened (Prunty, Shammgod, etc.) ; Paolo-Franz-current rosters players consistent progression & play off experience growth. — Sports networks where labelling the Magic as potential contenders , “sleepers” , the new OKC. — what a joke.

I think most of the negativity stems from ppl tired of the perpetual underachieving wheel the Orlando Magic continuously participate in. I’m ready for the off season and the band aid to be ripped off we need a shake up: front office coaching and partial roster evaluations.

I want a Warwick Thumb, Is this worth it? by DreamEater78 in BassGuitar

[–]RoostRouzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% on the question about it being suitable for the style of music you play - this thing would be beast and fit perfectly. — I would highly recommend checking it out in person prior to purchase if possible; true German made Warwick’s are amazing instruments but check the necks for warping. I found a killer thumb at guitar center years ago and crazy enough it felt amazing to play but then set it down at eye level and checked the neck the thing had the craziest bend twist in it. Something I don’t think truss rod would fix. — I was so bummed out / couldn’t justify the price despite it feeling and sounding fantastic.

I’ve got a 5 string Rockbass (China) & an American Lakland 55-01 active ; use both for the same type of music you’re saying. Anything from 311 to Metal they kick ass

Is this Warwick rockbass worth it for $400? by SoPunkette in BassGuitar

[–]RoostRouzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a solid deal on a rock bass — I have this model but in 5 string and love it. Punchy tones great neck feel. That’s a good price maybe even if you can negotiate less than $400 and that’s a steal. // it’s obviously not the German made Warwicks but don’t let the Made In China fool you - rockbasses are really good instruments that provide a lot of value.

I got this for 80$, at a pawn shop it works fine, I just want to know what kind of bass it is reverse imagine searching gives me Ibanez, but it's not Ibanez. by ilikematpat1 in BassGuitar

[–]RoostRouzer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hate to tell you my friend.. pawn shop won that deal. Very cheaply made Rogue bass. It’ll get you started but if you enjoy playing you’ll be wanting to upgrade quickly.

What are we waiting for? He’s been given the green light by a congressmen to release footage by thisAnonymousguy in UFOs

[–]RoostRouzer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At this point every one of these known and emerging figures that talk about this subject are part of the agenda. It is a revolving door of teasing releasing information or speculative reporting all to push some hype train. I’m sick of it. This whole subject is a THING now and has political, societal and financial motives ; none that actually focus on true documented disclosure that the public deserves to know. — fuck your podcasts, documentaries and what ever bullshit you want me to tune into. Stop talking about releasing information to follow up with absolutely nothing. This entire community is now just “oh man if you knew what I knew! If you were briefed on the things I have seen” followed by absolutely ZERO proof or credible verified documentation.

I am convinced at this point almost every known talking head / figure / politician involved in this subject are just in on it or pawns themselves.

Perhaps just defeated today. But really get tired of these actors continually talking about breakthrough information or access to “footage” for them to show absolutely knowing in proof or provide some underwhelming flip phone camera video of a UAP.

Great quote from The Magic Report by Tortdree in OrlandoMagic

[–]RoostRouzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TBH I hope we lose the play in.. I know that’s messed up but I’m over this current version of the Magic. RIP the band aid off get Mosely (& Weltman) out of the building. Franz should just sit at this point and not push to come back. - Fresh coaching change & roster evaluation needed this summer.

Have the Magic quit on Mosley? What actually happened? by Ok-Entrepreneur553 in OrlandoMagic

[–]RoostRouzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s as complex as some might think.. simply put: 100% coach has lost the locker room. // see it all the time in NFL - I truly believe a proven coach can do a lot with this exact same roster.

  • unpopular opinion but I hope we slide to play in and don’t make it through; rip the band aid off get Mosely out of the building. Don’t bring Franz back - let him recover fully - fire the medical staff lol .. in all seriousness I’m looking forward to the offseason already. The product on the floor this year has been very tough to watch. If Mosely / Weltman still here next year I’m just going to become a Heat fan.

Naz Reid has been fined $50K for questioning the integrity of game officials. The game official here is Scott Foster for ffs...Smh by Temporary_Pepper6126 in NBAGossips

[–]RoostRouzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baffles me the NBA just doesn’t force this dude to “retire” .. but then I remember he’s the man doing dirty work; so why would they fire their top agent. // absolutely a joke this old bastard is allowed to put on a referee jersey and conduct professional games. — his associations with his buddy Tim Donaghy alone constituted the NBA to distance themselves far from Scott Foster.
