Inexcusable and inexplicable.
Can't take a team for granted. You aren't gonna shoot the lights out every night but the defensive intensity wasn't good enough.

Wont be the first or the last. And Orlando will win more than 1 game this season. I'm sure they will beat somebody else, including a few playoff teams.
Every game is a learning lesson.
Couldn't buy a 3 in the 4th
Would love to know how you let a 6'3" Cole Anthony get 16 rebs on you

Yes we went cold.
Game thread vs. 76ers on you.

That’s one area that’s scary. Over reliance on the 3 ball. Their length made it difficult on the two pointers as well. Orlando is an up coming Team
We just embarrassed Orlando on their home court. Had to expect they'd be coming to play tonight.
Magic do have NBA talent. Better we get this reminder early on in the season.
We fell in love with the 3 point shot early and often. Not surprising we did not have the discipline to run our plays with the game on the line and just shot 3 pointers all the way until the cows came home
It’s the NBA. Some of turned on to see a win. You got a game. Maybe like some Of you looking forward to Chicago, Knicks got ahead of themselves.
Just looking at the box score. Brutal. Very frustrating to watch when we play like this.
It's too early in the season to get super angry and these type of losses happen to even the elite teams where they just have a letdown and let a bad team come into their building and outhustle them and beat them. But I just hope we are not the type of team where if we are not hitting our threes, we cannot score. I'm perfectly OK with launching them if we are hitting them at a good clip and they are good shots but I saw too many forced threes tonight and very little effort to score other ways. It can't be just a Randle Iso or a three. Gotta run some pick and rolls and screen and rolls and try to get to the line!
And we have to remember our bread and butter is still defense! We started this game with very little energy and allowed Cole Anthony to do whatever he wanted. And of course Terrence Ross turned into Michael Jordan in the 4th. He always does that. Can we trade Knox for him already?
Give the Magic credit. They brought it tonight and outworked us. Hopefully it's a learning lesson.

That roster is awful. I hope this is the worst loss of the season because its inexcusable. Hard to believe this team wins 60 games yoiu like you predicted if they give away gimmies like this

Hey that Rj- Randle give and go was a beauty. We definitely need more of that
I was getting flash backs of "Playoff Randle" dude was 8-24 shooting.
I hope he's not hell bent on proven last yr was no fluke by playing like he did tonight..
