A team full of jump shooters and one player that can attack the rim effectively. Throw in the front-court situation and they'll be lucky to get into the playoffs. How the mighty have fallen.  :(

it would be for the best of the franchise if they were in the lottery this year, if they land a top 10 pick they could land a future cornerstone player. PP fell to # 10 .

This team is out in the 1st round if they even manage to make it to the playoffs . Old, Slow, no one to run with rondo, no rebounding, no low post scoring , slow on defensive rotations...

this is brutal to watch , but we all knew it was coming eventually .

Better to plunge into the depths than slowly descend that way we climb out quicker.

Think another good analogy is Detroit a few years ago.

Who is Orlando's one player who can attack the rim effectively?

Talking about Rondo.

I'm confused.  Orlando without Howard wouldn't really be like Boston.  They'd just be a collection of jump shooters without anyone who can get to the rim at a high level.
