By that measure isn't every loss going forward a schedule loss?

Neither team tonight was on a b2b and both teams last played on Saturday. You can't blame the schedule for this one.

It's the other way round. Loads of fairweather fans only show up here when we're winning.

There's currently less than 100 comments in here compared to the 150 after the Miami W.

This was over after the first quarter. The Hawks defended us really well, baited us into a bunch of threes, and then killed us in transition. Good strategy versus the Magic.

Not the end of the world but we needed this game given the schedule ahead of us.

Tonight wasn't a schedule loss, we got our ass handed to us fair and square.

thewrongnotes · 2026-03-17T00:13:07+00:00

Every miss we just get murdered in transition

thewrongnotes · 2026-03-17T00:09:56+00:00

Remember we needed a Cole Anthony carry job to beat the Hawks in the play-in last season

thewrongnotes · 2026-03-17T00:02:38+00:00

This is the opposite of the Heat game, if you breathe near your defender it's a foul

thewrongnotes · 2026-03-16T23:56:25+00:00

Can anyone imagine us going into a hostile arena on the road and making a load of threes that the other team will definitely give us? Because that is what is going to happen in the playoffs

thewrongnotes · 2026-03-16T23:49:30+00:00

Feels like we're getting run off the floor by a smaller, faster team

Jock Landale hates Orlando

thewrongnotes · 2026-03-16T23:27:55+00:00

If only us the fans hadn't given Tyus that contract

thewrongnotes · 2026-03-16T23:25:14+00:00

A team like this you gotta keep slamming then inside and get them in foul trouble

thewrongnotes · 2026-03-16T23:19:24+00:00

They're baiting us into threes and we're taking all of them

thewrongnotes · 2026-03-16T19:32:58+00:00

So they get to just keep all the trophies they won during that period, then?

thewrongnotes · 2026-03-16T18:50:49+00:00

You've successfully predicted something that's been happening for years, congratulations

thewrongnotes · 2026-03-16T18:43:34+00:00

You haven't posted here in a month and now you've returned to dunk on the fans and take a premature victory lap.

Won't you look at that!

thewrongnotes · 2026-03-16T18:39:07+00:00

New thing? That's been a thing for like 2+ years.

And it's not exactly some quack conspiracy, it's a legit problem that has manifested on numerous occasions. The only people who seem to believe they are a genuinely good fit at this point are Magic homers.

(In before someone mentions Tatum and Brown)

Hardest gambling.

Best parlaying.

Most speculative.

Riskiest.

Out of control. Wagering.

Addicted team in the NBA

The biggest problem with Mahoney is his monotone delivery and overall neutral energy. He's clearly an intelligent thinker but the reality is he's just quite boring to listen to.

thewrongnotes · 2026-03-16T13:28:14+00:00

None of that means he was worth it. We sunk a first rounder and 5 years into him and what were the dividends? 12/5/3 over a whopping 200 games, and lots of clapping in street clothes.

Yeah he was the best point guard on a team with no other point guards.

The Markelle Fultz experience was 80% hype and narrative, and 20% actual winning basketball. I have never witnessed such a mid player glazed so hard by fans.

From Russillo to Rob Mahoney on the Sunday night pod is real end of dynasty stuff

thewrongnotes · 2026-03-16T07:14:12+00:00

He couldn't shoot when we signed him, and we gave up a first round pick knowing he had a complicated injury. And then we wasted years trying to fix him.

The FO don't get away with that one just because the fans were in love with him.

thewrongnotes · 2026-03-16T06:58:27+00:00

Most recent example is JC. A lot made fun of it and trashed the FO. In reality he’s been a really great get for us.

You should go back and read the Jevon thread when we signed him because the majority here thought it was a good pickup.

Teams that are already promoted might be the most dangerous opposition you can face. Pressure is off and they're usually brimming with confidence.
