They look lost.

[radiohead]

Well that was an uninspired half of basketball. They don’t seem to like playing with each other. This team needs a wake up call.

[footey]

My expectations going in is that we are about the same level as the Magic, which is very sad.

And so far, that has proven to be an overestimation.

is Tatum hurt? does he need to take some time off?

I'm thinking his heavier weight this year has a lot to do with his struggles. Could've affected his shooting, and being someone who wasn't that quick to begin with, I'm wondering if that extra weight is making him that much slower and unable to get to his spots.

I think it's because of his playing in the summer. He looked better in the Olymics.

Looking at excuses you guys are making for Tatum is hilarious. It’s not like they are in February right now.
Tatum is just soft. He doesn’t know how to impact a game unless he’s hitting his shots.

I'm not making excuses but something looks wrong with Tatum. If you think he looks like himself then agree to disagree.

I'm actually liking the defense and some of the offense, especially Jaylen. Tatum is the low point of the team for me. I feell like he does not like playing with the other guys. There was a transition play where he could have passed to Jaylen for an alley oop and he didn't, and when that jumpball happened, he was doubled and had Brown open on the corner

Stevens should blow it up but on second thought he shouldn’t. This team is capable of competing for a good lottery pick. Blowing it up might have guys playing who actually care and play hard.

I can't watch that many games due to timezone issues, but reading that Doncic and everyone who played in the Olympics played worse.

Different eras, players need to cover more ground and be more mobile now.

Shhhhhhhhh ..when we mentioned that he should probably rest the summer, some people said no need. I don’t want to hear that excuse now.

Yeah, it's hard to put your finger on, but chemistry seems like a good candidate for at least some of the issues. Uninspired is a good adjective to describe this team. Just going through the motions.

A bad Magic team went for 46. It was better to close the half but loads of layups.
