I am a Kings fan who bet $100 for the Magic to win vs the Knicks AMA
I can provide a completely uniformed, yet neutral opinion on your team. Let's just say that for 2 hours yesterday, I observed your team with a very watchful eye, and I was very emotionally invested in the game. I watched Orlando Magic basketball like I've never watched it before. All in all it was an entertaining, yet stressful game. I won't be betting on the Magic anytime soon though, let's just leave it at that. I fucked up.
My first impression of your team is that Aaron Gordon is soft as hell and he settles for the 3 waaaay too much.
My second impression is that your head coach is playing through your guards and wings and not your best player. I get the impression though that he's done all the yelling he can at this point to get his players focused...idk that's just what it seems like.
My third impression is that Terrence Ross thinks he's Curry. I thought this guy had a 3pt jumper? What's he doing hucking up shots and floating on every jumper like he's Buddy Hield?
I'm very impressed with Fultz though. You guys got a potentially very good player for nothing! I felt very confident things would turn out good when he ran the show.
These are just a few of the baffling things I witnessed last night. I also can relate to you guys forgetting how to play with intensity and effort in the first half. My Kings are notorious for shooting themselves in the foot to start the game.
But yeah- don't shoot the observer, folks. I really don't care if you guys suck or win the ECF. I'm just out here wondering why I bet on you guys.

I told you, buddy.
You did. I just wish I would've come here an asked if this was a good idea BEFORE the game started lol but ya know $100 is replaceable. What really pissed me off was the turnovers and bad shots and lack of intensity and focus. That shit was driving me mad.
Welcome to being a Magic fan but, if we do win, we don't cash in on anything and every season is losing money and getting kicked in the sack.
Do you feel confident going into any game? What matchups/teams do you guys do well against?
No, I do not feel confident in most games. If we play Charlotte, the Hawks, the Knicks, the Dubs, I feel a bit more confident but, as with last night, when we play teams that have young guys who do their job we can be easily out worked and find ourselves playing catch-up.
Any team missing athletic PF/C's and shot blockers we tend to do well with. If the team has physical PG's and shooter, though, we're toast.
It confident at the moment. At least until Augustine comes back for me
