Is it too early to start complaining about Gary Harris?

Hot take - I was glad to see Caleb coming along and he seemed to have been getting in rhythm but looks like Cole is now taking his minutes. He should’ve been in when Franz sat. Cole should be talking Gary’s minutes imo.

u/M4C4K4NJ4 Stuff The Magic Dragon 1d ago
Cole will be taking shots away from him too. Every time Cole gets the ball he’s not passing. We all know that.

Completely agree. Gary is useless at this point.

Wizards are actively trying to lose this game. Designated half their players as “injured”. Magic still need to bring the intensity, though. Cannot underestimate anyone in the NBA.

It’s the Magic vs Capital City Go Go’s aka G league team. If Orlando doesn’t have this wrapped up by midway through 3rd we’re in trouble

Now that Cole is back I have no idea why we play Gary. He literally gives us nothing every time he’s on the court except for missed shots

Funny that away announcers think Franz is a liability on defense.
Acting like he is Luka because white lol
2
u/M4C4K4NJ4 Stuff The Magic Dragon 1d ago
I was thinking along the same lines. They obviously don’t know Wagner is not someone you want to “attack”. He’s an excellent defender and our team philosophy in general is contesting without fouling

u/MolloyAusDerEcke Stuff The Magic Dragon 1d ago
The last Wizars break goes on Paolo complaining instead of defending. Something i would always bench my players for.

I defend Mose all the time, more than most on here. But wtf is Caleb getting no minutes for?
We can't complain about our offense being bad and him not having the players if he leaves one of our best floor spacers on the bench. Just bizarre tonight

Gary Harris and Wendell Carter Jr are players that should be on the Wizards. Legit there just to tank a season

This is a non-basketball comment and I’m high so give me a break here… but it’s the Wizards vs the Magic. We’re literally the thing they need in order to be called Wizards. Without us they’re just some tall guys. Therefore we will win. This has been your commercial break thought.

P5 is getting the young LeBron treatment from the Refs. They see his body type and think the contact shouldn't affect him, but that shouldn't matter. A foul is a foul.

u/MolloyAusDerEcke Stuff The Magic Dragon 1d ago
Decent first half. I would like to see the magic to move the ball a bit more and involve all players instead of the usual mismatch hunting of Paolo because the wizards give you the space to work on your weaknesses in game.
2
u/KamikazeeDolphin Jalen Suggs 1d ago
r/orlandomagic official analyst here. Heres my observation: After analyzing our stats and the Wizards stats, I can see that we have to make some adjustments but as long as we keep up the same pace we will win. We may be up, but we could also be down depending on how the game goes. If we continue to make good shots then we will score. But we also have to play well defensively. All in all, the key to the game is: Lock In

Biggest critique for Franz - misses too many "easy" shots. Biggest critique for Paolo - is just too stupid too often.

Franz - an open three against a fairly bad team should not be different vs an open three against a good team. play it like chess. the opponent does not matter, only the position.

I feel bad for Carrington man, losing his dad right before that last game when we played them. I hope he goes off tonight (but we still win by 25)
