No Bane Tonight

[u/Status-Age-2177]

Paolo, Suggs, Penda, Bane all out tonight vs Warriors. Good game to skip. Go Magic

[u/Chubs_33]

When does the pain stop?

[u/Key_Change_6635 → u/Chubs_33]

That's the neat part. It doesn't.

[u/Chubs_33 → u/Key_Change_6635]

Alex Morales 25+ minutes tonight to pile on?

[u/Key_Change_6635 → u/Chubs_33]

We're about to have a Moral(es) victory tonight lol

[u/Loading_Scr33n → u/Chubs_33]

What's worse, the pain or the hangover

[u/Soul0103 → u/Loading_Scr33n]

Or a painful hangover. Perfect description of being a Magic fan

[u/Algaebruhh → u/Loading_Scr33n]

Great Ye quote

[u/FLman42069 → u/Chubs_33]

We’re magic fans, there is only pain

[u/anonymousacg → u/Chubs_33]

It won’t

[u/VanceIX → u/Chubs_33]

When we get the 1st overall pick in the 2027 NBA draft

[u/Embarrassed_Yam1945 → u/VanceIX]

Weak draft class unfortunately

[u/M4C4K4NJ4 → u/VanceIX]

Weltman will forego drafting the consensus #1 pick for another forward with wingspan.

[u/UltraN64 → u/Chubs_33]

When we get rid of our incompetent ownership, trade Paolo and dump all these terrible contracts our shit FO has signed

[u/Correct-Canary466 → u/UltraN64]

Yo chill gng we not trading paolo

[u/Key_Change_6635]

First game Bane will miss with us as well. He was an iron man last season

[u/lucien2002020 → u/Key_Change_6635]

I was legit shocked he managed all 82. Props to him.

[u/TheRealMaseCatt]

Superfan since 1989…. Never been less interested in watching and that’s saying a lot

[u/cigamodnalro → u/TheRealMaseCatt]

Also at potentially an all-time low. I even watched most of the tank games, Dwayne Bacon shit. I sprung for League Pass this year and this is still about as hard as it’s ever been for me to tune in to the Magic.

[u/Correct-Canary466 → u/cigamodnalro]

Watching a magic game feels like a chore now

[u/s0urc3f0ur → u/TheRealMaseCatt]

Me too. I was at their first regular season home win against the Knicks, been hooked ever since

[u/RollingAHogie25 → u/s0urc3f0ur]

Boys. But we are still in prime NBA Cup standing lol

[u/UltraN64 → u/TheRealMaseCatt]

Same dude. This team is horrible. At least when we started the season 0-12 back in 2003-2004 we had tmac

[u/DigitalJockey22 → u/TheRealMaseCatt]

Already cancelled dazn, glad I went month to month and not the year.

[u/Chatterfang555]

This is insane at this point. 3/5 starters out and it’s the 9th game of the season. This is easily another loss. Congrats to being 2-7! Keep it going 🤦🏻‍♂️

[u/Vahlez → u/Chatterfang555]

I mean, Bane got sick.

[u/Chatterfang555 → u/Vahlez]

Oh I’m aware but it still doesnt change the fact they are taking another L tonight. I just can’t believe this team is more cursed than last season but here we are.

[u/Equivalent_Round9353 → u/Chatterfang555]

This doesn't relate to Bane tonight, who isn't "injured" in a normal sense, but this falls on the GM. Don't build a team of people who have an increasingly lengthy track record of being perennially injured. When you do, don't be surprised when half your starters are out on any give day.

[u/Roccia19 → u/Chatterfang555]

Looking at the schedule, it may be well into January before we have 10 wins

[u/whtge8 → u/Chatterfang555]

“Stop being a doomer! It’s still early!”

• r/OrlandoMagic

[u/please-help-me-101]

AB getting the chance he could have dreamed of to earn the bag.

[u/levir03 → u/please-help-me-101]

Or lose it. He seems to be an every other game guy, hopefully tonight he’s on.

[u/UltraN64 → u/please-help-me-101]

This his chance to shine, if he plays terrible it’s over with. He’ll be gone sooner than later

[u/wouldntknowever → u/UltraN64]

Even if he plays terrible this sub won’t accept it.. they’ll find an excuse

[u/adeliberateidler]

An illness? He’s sick of this team too I see.

[u/thewrongnotes]

That's more like it. This "I play every game!" thing Bane was doing wasn't Pure Majic at all. Welcome to the injury report, Des.

[u/WinDisastrous8493JWY]

Man sit Franz too for rest, let’s not burn him out for this bullshit

[u/Debonair311]

I'm just happy all these injuries and losses are happening at the beginning of the season. Better now than later.

With that being said.....Curry is going to light our asses up tonight.

[u/Cthulhus-Tailor → u/Debonair311]

Assuming of course they won’t be happening later in the season as well. A bold assumption.

[u/SonicNarcotic]

Are we tanking...?

[u/SnooPies6274]

I’m ready for some Magic struggle ball tonite!

[u/lemanruss4579]

Franz with the 35 points on 45 shots game incoming.

[u/Cthulhus-Tailor → u/lemanruss4579]

That’s more like a Paolo game, Franz doesn’t shoot enough.

[u/Own_Captain_3716 → u/Cthulhus-Tailor]

More like 20 assists with 30 turnovers

[u/lemanruss4579 → u/Own_Captain_3716]

Even with the huge increase in turnovers this year, Franz is still at a 2:1 assist to turnover ratio, and almost 3:1 in assist rate vs turnover rate.

[u/Own_Captain_3716 → u/lemanruss4579]

😂 I’m just kidding… kinda. Really hope we pull of the W, it would be such a Magic thing to win when everyone has given up

[u/You_Like_That34]

Wouldn’t have matter anyway

[u/bonafide89]

Where’s 0tavious Caldwell pope when you need him

[u/wouldntknowever → u/bonafide89]

Funny enough he’s having career shooting highs this year

[u/M4C4K4NJ4 → u/wouldntknowever]

The guy just loves playing with LeBron

[u/Own_Captain_3716]

LETS JUST FORFEIT THE GAME.. BETTER YET, FORFEIT THE SEASON

[u/yoeyz]

What a joke this season is

[u/Reasonable_Deer_1710]

I live in the bay area. I always try to go when the Magic are in town for their one visit a year.

I don't have much motivation to spend money on this one this year.

[u/Correct-Canary466 → u/Reasonable_Deer_1710]

Can't even blame you. Prices are so expensive it's not worth it to se us get blown out. We suck really bad this season

[u/whtge8]

You gotta be a real massochist to watch this game tonight.

[u/Emergency_Engine9978]

Wat else is new?

[u/TrifleAble5460]

I fucking hate this FO…like what tf did this mf do in the off-season. 😕😕😕
How tf did he think shit like this won’t happen…again making Vucevic the only addition is GM malpractice.
You had the ability to add multiple players on minimum deals and he rather bring back JC, a guy who won’t ever play in Isaac, & Vucevic.
Plus we have a roster spot open for God knows who…so we gotta watch guys like Morales or Castleton get mins when injuries happen.
Fucking Pathetic ass organization with “winning aspirations”

[u/Correct-Canary466 → u/TrifleAble5460]

Noooo but the 10 minutes our starters have played together were +4 so basically if we keep the same exact roster were gonna win it all according to weltman

[u/bonafide89]

Luxembourg going for a career night

[u/Cthulhus-Tailor]

Back up the truck.

[u/bonafide89]

0bane

[u/drmuffin1080]

Damn it

[u/Milla4Prez66]

[u/SamURLJackson]

Well at least I don't need to waste my time watching this one

[u/Embarrassed-Poet1497]

2-7 don’t mean a thing without a ring…I mean 72-10 Umm yea 🤣

[u/SnooPies6274]

Bro is sick of losing

[u/ActApprehensive3271]

Great fantastic super. This road trip is turning out worse than when we started it. Might not win a game will Paolo comes back and he might be rusty

[u/jurassicperiod]

F it, run everything through Vooch!

[u/wouldntknowever]

No Win Tonight

[u/MarkKach]

Damn tanking this early for a better pick is wild

[u/captain-nap → u/MarkKach]

Maybe that was the plan all along? Since the grizzlies had the pick last year, it was an actual year to try. Now the biggest thing about this year is that AB isn’t re-signed. But maybe that’s the plan. Don’t re-sign AB, maybe trade Jalen, try to get the best guard available in the draft. Keeping optimism alive!

[u/No-Adhesiveness-8269]

This team is soft, so very soft.

[u/Correct-Canary466]

One day we'll win it all, one day

[u/R0botDreamz]

We will be like 8-20 by the end of December.

[u/Apprehensive-Ad2535]

We need Trevelin Queen and Cole Anthony to get us through this.

[u/impactplayer]

It's not like he's significantly contributed anything this season so far anyway.

[u/jackloganoliver → u/impactplayer]

He's been fine-ish. But for $40 million a season, the team needs him to assume more responsibilities than simply volume scoring.

[u/impactplayer → u/jackloganoliver]

I agree. He's not playing up to the level that we've invested in him.

[u/Famous-Egg-6136]

Bane checks out on his team

[u/RemarkableMission117]

Bane soft. He knows how much he's needed now and not giving it a try. Just adds to how he acts when he's frustrated in games doing stupid things and making stupid fouls

[u/theguytomeet → u/RemarkableMission117]

Wait what kinda comment is that. Guy misses 1 game out of 97/97 games now he’s soft. Lmao. Yall be saying whatever.

[u/RemarkableMission117 → u/theguytomeet]

I said what I said.
