DISCONNECTED: Orlando Magic Lose Their Connection and CRASH in Frustrating Blowout

The Orlando Magic's momentum has stalled as their once-unbreakable connection is faltering in another blowout loss to the Charlotte Hornets. Jamahl Mosley tried to spur his team into some momentum by getting ejected, but the team continued to look a bit lost on both ends and could not keep up with a Hornets team that took advantage of every mistake and buried them with 3-pointers. Orlando simply did not have the shooting or confidence to keep up with a stellar effort from the Hornets. And the team fell further behind as they got more disconnected. The Magic's shooting problem remains the biggest thing holding the team back. And the focus should be on Jalen Suggs' continued inconsistency as a shooter. As one of the highest volume shooters for the Magic, he has been far too up and down with his offensive contributions. And that has only been emphasized with the injuries the Magic are facing. 00:00 Magic's Momentum Hits Skid 05:49 Magic Struggle to Stay Afloat 11:34 Magic Struggles Highlight Team Flaws 19:59 Magic Need Elite Shooters 25:01 Magic’s Scoring Issues Persist 32:48 Magic's Defensive Collapse Explained 37:59 Magic's Inconsistent Season Struggles 42:24 Magic's Inconsistency and Team Struggles Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
