Orlando loses another home game and falls to Boston 111-107 on Sunday. We’re now 4-6 ten games into the season. We should have 2 losses, instead we’re at six. We’re 11th in the East standings. We’ve got problems. We have a broken home game experience at Kia Center. There is no home court advantage without Paul Porter. Our crowd put up very little fight…again. Because with have a PA Announcer that does not engage the fans. The Magic also are 1-0 in NBA Cup play after Penny and I sat in 110A on Friday night and watched our team beat the Celtics 123-110. Only Detroit is undefeated with us in East Group B. Point differential matters, we’re +13, Pistons are +18 after they beat Brooklyn. Friday night was the start of 7 of 9 games at home. And you give back Friday’s win by handing Boston this Sunday game. There are long ugly stretches in our offensive and defensive game. Yes, you can see our guys navigating and trying to figure it out. We had an effort problem tonight in the fourth. We weren’t even playing the Celtics these two games, we’re playing chess with ourselves. Can we master our style of play or will Jamahl Mosley become a casualty first?
All of that and more!

193. Undisciplined and Listless Stretches; Magic 2-4

193. Undisciplined and Listless Stretches; Magic 2-4
The losing streak ends at four games as the Magic desperately win a game in Charlotte. There were some positive signs from that performance, but most of the early part of this season has been full of undisciplined and downright listless stretches that have cost us games. We went 2-4 in October when it should’ve been 5-1. And Charlotte is not a good team. We gave away the Hawks game because we couldn’t defend in crunch time. That was Game #2 of the season. There’s an extra microscopic view on Jamahl Mosley, who is still in the 2003 Doc Rivers danger zone. Tonight brings a temporary relief. Jeff Weltman is not firing himself for our roster flaws, so it’s Jamahl on the hot seat. Doc got fired eleven games into the 2003-2004 season when we were 1-10. That was also a jersey rebrand season. This is season #5 of Jamahl and he still doesn’t know how to call momentum timeouts consistently. Jamahl still refuses to get thrown out of games when refs are royally screwing his roster over. Pace and offense are not the problems right now, our defense is horrendous. Giving up 107 in Charlotte is a step in the correct direction. Way too much bad body language at times. Mosley is 6 games from surpassing Doc Rivers for the 3rd-most Magic games coached in franchise history. It’s still not a given Jamahl is going make it to that milestone.
Orlando picked up the team contract options for Anthony Black and Tristan da Silva, but declined Jett Howard’s. Jett will now be a free agent in the summer. The Magic will see 10 of their games broadcast over the air locally in Orlando and Tampa. That’s very exciting as far as potentially breaking away from regional sports networks goes.
All of that and more!
