Nah, the long Lebron injury, Luke being a terrible coach and this roster not being built with any semblence of intelligence is the issue. Even if it was in the East this year, it would be in the same situation so your argument is a jump off with no thought behind it. This mess is regardless of division or conference
At the moment, 30-33 would be seventh seed in the East

I posted a while back he needs to move to the 4 permanently and be a Blake style playmaking PF while letting Zo run the show. My post got no daps, but in reality that has to be the next evolution of Bron. He doesn't have to footwork or handle to dominate on the outside anymore. He can't past a cotdamn big without a pick.

Next evolution? This his 17th season bruh, lol.

nah fam it's over..

I can't see this team going on a win streak.

I've just finished my second bottle of wine.. I better go to bed:deadmanny:
They need six more wins to beat last year's record. Do you think they do that?

Why has Luke walton become the scapegoat when it's Magic's lack of foresight and incopetence that led him to sell amazing talents like Rusell,Randle,Zubac and replaced them with a 33 yo rondo, mcgee, stephenson and chandler:dahell:.

He nearly traded the entire roster for AD too if not for another incompetent GM, Dell Demps, blocking the trade. You are gonna have to fire magic as well if you want to go anywhere.

He literally traded your future for instant gratification/success and it backfired spectacularly

Honestly this is all on Magic. The roster moves he made in the offseason after signing Lebron made zero sense. Why let Randle and Brook go? Why sign Lance and Rondo? Why sign zero shooters? You can't win in todays NBA without shooting. None of that shyt made sense.

Jeanie, flabgic, and bumlinka. Those are the true criminals in this shyt. As terrible as Luke has been, I put more blame on the roster he’s been given. Had the front office held its end up maybe we get a more accurate idea of what Luke brings.

This shyt was a perfect storm starting from the top. Until we get real leadership at the top it’ll be this same shyt.

YALL SEE LUKE MISS THEM CLUTCH FREETHROWS?

@2Quik4UHoes @The God Poster

Are you stupid or are you dumb? :dahell:

You think I’m excusing LeBron and his weak ass clutch ability because of Luke? No, I’m blaming Luke for creating the situations that cause us to have to depend on LeBron in the clutch. Look at my avi, you should know what it is. :camby:

I’m blaming flabgic and his shytty Rob Lowe lookin sidekick for getting rid of young talent and hedging their bets on insanely high risk signings and trading whole rosters for injure prone superstars then telling the barely 20 somethings and the old vets you signed to grow up and get to the playoffs.

No, I can talk shyt about LeBron for a lot of things but I never sat here thinking he was Kobe or something. This showing is only proving that point further, injury or not.

You left off his worst mistake which was signing Lebron in the first place

Because it's always easier to blame and get rid of the coach first and everyone else second.

I think everyone is putting the FO on top of the blame list but when that is done you just see Luke is not that great of a coach.

- shytty coaching staff
- no offensive schemes
- does not know how to put the young guys in the best position to succeed
- refusing to address ft situation
- rotations (worst one) no one asks him to play guys 17 mins straight or not stagger our best players

The only good thing about Luke is/was his defense and that has gone to shyt but that is on Magic.


Luke had these issues last year too, Randle was mad at him half the season for not starting. Brook was upset..etc.

How this roster is constructed is trash. You can't start Rondo, Lebron, and Mcgee at the same time for defensive purposes. Plus Kuzma is too small to start at the 5.
