Orlando Magic's season ends in disappointing Game 7
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 май 2024
- The Orlando Magic had everything rolling in the first half of their Game 7 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Then the bottom dropped out and the Magic found themselves heading home instead of on to the second round. Despite how proud everyone is for this season, Game 7 undoubtedly left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. That does not take away from what this team accomplished and what still lies ahead.

There was nothing disappointing about this season imo
11/10 season, disappointed on the outcome after taking it to 7
@@jeremywilsonnIt's a learning lesson, they will only get better!
You can't be happy after a loss though
To me, the disappointing thing about this game was that they had an 18 point lead and lost it.
@@brandonpittman4812 Inexperienced coach + Inexperienced players = No lead is safe
That was a great season! Go Magic!!
What an amazing season from an amazing squad. Were going to be monsterous next year.
The glaring weaknesses in this team is as follows:
1. SG- with Suggs as the PG this position is non-existent on offense. In a league where scoring is as all-time highs, you cannot have a backcourt position be a liability on offense.
2. Center- Wendell Carter does not show on pick-and-roll and is not a shot blocker. You have to have one or the other. On top of that you cannot feed him in the post. Get a player similar to a Jared Allen/Robert Williams III for defense and lobs.
3. Shooting- at ALL cost get at least to shooters to surround Banchero and Wagner.
Facts the guards need to be upgraded Corey Kispert could be had Daniel Gafford would have been perfect the center from Purdue would fit this team
I agree completely wendall has gotta go they aren't going any where with him and like you said suggs isn't a pg and we get nothing from Gary Harris either
Trade for Dejonte Murray?
@chirocket4791 Murray would be a good addition depends on what hawks would want but he'd be great and he's young still and can get his own shot def brings offense
Massive season. Thanks for your work Phil - really enjoy your analysis and looking forward to your offseason updates. High expectations for the team now and team makeup is going to be very interesting.
Seconded
Heartbroken but not disappointed. The future is bright and this will be an exciting summer of free agency and hopefully the young stars take another leap in the offseason.
Franz really was bad bad it hurt in a bad way but get ready for the off season 🥶
Thanks phil! See ya next season!
just like in business, you want to see room for growth and we see a bright future ahead. Go Magic!
We need a couple more pieces, thats it. Cleveland was our toughest MU as they had a legit rim protector, versatility, and a MegaStar in Donovan Mitchell. Really disappointed as I also saw a legit Finals run if we got past the Cavs, but this is all a pipe dream now.
The Magic offense in the second half looked like Cleveland's offense in game 6. Paulo iso/Mitchell Iso
Run it back! Conference finals next year!
Losing stung after finally getting a good start. Looking forward to next year.
They need a scoring PG that can drive and shoot. They also need a Center that can defend and play pick and roll WCJ is non of that
We need a number 2 guy to go with Paolo
Phill I would give you an A once again this season. I would have to give the players an A also. They all played the game we knew they had. The two F’s go to the owners and especially the GM. They have had ample opportunities to fix our roster but haven’t. The one thing we need more than shooting is a new GM.
Weltman deserves a passing grade for putting this team together and sticking with them. They are not here without the faith Weltman put in this group to finish the job. Excellent job from him. But his work is definitely just starting.
Really its about how much we Pay Franz, currently franz is like a 2.5 instead of a clear 2nd option. If that shot would drop at a higher clip he be a bonafide 3 level scorer
Other than OKC and Minnesota the Magic are definitely the best young team in the NBA. They are sooo big and rugged. Their defense is nasty and they have a budding superstar in Bachero. And good role players in Suggs and Wagner and the other big guy his name just slipped out of my mind. They have 4 guys almost 7 foot. And Suggs is no joke. They are a matchup nightmare. I’m a diehard Cavs fan. The Cavs are a very good team. If Orlando can get some more shooting they can easily challenge for the east crown. They would give Boston a run for their money this year. Boston is soft and small. Orlando would physically beat the shit out of them.
Tough loss but a great season. I trust our FO to mske the right decisions in the off season. Whether it's landing a star free agent or trusting we have our 3 stars in the making and putting role players around them.
Dude just said a guy who shot 35 percent played well...
Orlando definitely lost it… they were up what 19 pts in the first half hitting shots playing great defense! How tf can you say that? They 10000000% blew it! They choked
Please get rid of WCJ . I beg Please get rid of him
I know it's not gone happen, but I really wish Franz would skip the Olympics.
Agreed.
At least the Olympics are early this year. Franz will be fine.
@LockedOnMagic he's my favorite player, and I agree. What I'm trying to say is I would love for him to have an off-season where he can focus on himself solely. I could be wrong, but idk how much he can do that playing internationally all the time.
@@LockedOnMagic That’s not how Paolo tells it. In his exit interview he talked about how good it would be to just focus on himself this off season.
Franz is worn down. He hasn’t had a break in 3 years.
Do yall think franz can be our 2nd guy?? Just grab a good pg and we are good? Get a defensive shot blocker?? Let me know Magic faithful
That’s what I was thinking.
Tyus Jones
Nick Claxton
Buddy Hield
I believe would make this team much more competitive.
@@AndyKapp im definitely feeling Claxton, he is aggresive and an athletic shot blocker, Tyus is small man, if he could be a menace with steals n such then it could work, any legit shot blocker opens up the door for a player like Tyus, we dont mind taking a hit at pg defensively if they get funneled into the paint and have to deal with a shot blocker. Buddy heild is good but thats taking shine away from suggs and i need suggs starting. Hes a starter, a 3nD guy. Franz if he were to
Makw 1-2 more 3’s a game drastically improves his 2nd optioness. I say stick with Franz but get him on a team friendlier deal, maybe 4 year 100/110 million
@@AndyKapp Paolo ofcourse gets Max, Suggs can get 85/90 for 4 years, suggs and franz are due for extensions, extend then on right fair price deals and keep this trio together and fill in, any thoughts?
The answer is duh he has proven he can be that 2nd guy we wouldn’t even be playing 7 games if not for his 34 pt game. We need to get rid of Gary and maybe Wendell cuz he can barely hang with these 7 foot something centers
@@davidcarlos4350 Suggs is another version of Marcus Smart. And we saw how much better the Celtics offense looked with a legit PG.
Suggs makes awful decisions with the basketball and is very inconsistent as a 3 pt shooter. Add to that he can’t score off the dribble.
Magic would be better with him coming off the bench.
The offense would be better with a true PG. Fultz proved that in this series. A true PG could get the ball to Paolo in the post, where he did work in game 3.
Not saying the trio I suggested would make the Magic a championship contender, but it would put them only a piece away imo.
Rockets fan here listen you guys got nothing to be ashamed of you guys had a great season and you guys went seven games in the first round against the Cavs and almost probably forced Donovan Mitchell out of Cleveland.
Paolo is the truth he only going to get better and Franz is a solid number two his problem his needs to be a better 3 point shooter.
You guys have the length and size but you guys are missing some shooters and a point guard.
Malik Monk is out there Buddy Hield you could trade for Jordan Clarkson but who knows what Utah is doing. Maybe Klay Thompson is an option. But either way you guys need shooters.
As for PG I would probably call the Hawks to see what they would want for either Trae Young or Dejonate Murray. Murray would probably be a little bit of a better of a fit since he a good defender and he probably wouldn’t cost as much to get then Trae Young.
Other option is probably trade for Tyus Jones he only 27 so he fits the timeline and he would definitely help calm down and stabilize the offense and take the pressure off of Paolo.
If you guys address those issues you guys are soon going to be contenders.
Great season guys hopefully my team can make the playoffs next year as well 👍🏾
The Rockets had the season the Magic had last year. Houston will be in the playoffs next year.
@@LockedOnMagic I agree with you man things are looking bright for both our teams 👍🏾
@@jalenjohnson0339 See you in the Finals in 2025!
@@LockedOnMagic Same man lol it be dope to see both of our teams in the finals
Trade carter immediately. Lazy defense. Ridiculous..
Great year sucks Mosley had to sell it by going full blown Tebow Time in the 3rd with Markelle.
Especially since Boston is beatable without Porzingis and we won the regular season series against the Pacers and Knicks.
Reminds me exactly of the 12 point 3rd quarter collapse in Dallas when he thought Anthony Black would slow down Luka.
Can’t wait to watch another bottom 20 offense next year when Mose runs his Markelle 2.0 experiment trying to turn Anthony Black into a starting NBA guard.
Oh wait maybe he’ll be held accountable for his bankrupt offensive philosophy and be forced to start a free agent guard who plays worse defense than Cole and makes more than twice as much. We’ll see how many grenades he can knock down cuz Paolo and Franz cant pass. Your superstar had an inverted assist to turnover ratio this series.
Then maybe we can all admit that the reason they wouldn’t play Cole isn’t because of defense and it’s because the org wanted to save money on Franz who scores much better with Cole because he finally has space for his wide angle drives.
Fingers crossed they trade my guy to a coach that isn’t allergic to offense and I don’t have to read a bunch of comments from illiterate Floridians who don’t even like basketball.
Sounds like a degenerate gambler trying to blame somebody else for his uncontrollable addiction.
Missed opportunity by orlando.
The path to the nba finals was widely open if they defeated cleveland.bcz they could easily beat the weakest team in the playoffs in the next round, then they have the knicks number.
So sad they chocked.
Lol this was always a battle to see who got to go on to lose to Boston. Go watch a game sometime; the NBA is fun I promise.
@@MillionYearProgram42 the last game I did watch, cleveland won without DM.
They came back from 22pts with 9mins left in the 4th.
That was a frauduleuse performance by yr celtics.
This is a flawed Magic team (I don't know if they would have gotten a game on Boston). I think if they had more experience they would have won this series. Ultimately just weren't ready. Mitchell was the better player and you tip your cap to them. This group will be back next year.
@@LockedOnMagic 💯
