Kind of starting to fall off the Lonzo train. Believe in his ability but 41% free throw shooting is kind of a big problem.

So we went from blowing leads to making comebacks

The overall conversation around Vuch nationally is weird. On one hand, every writer points out his statistical performance this season and states things like "Despite Vucevic being the only thing keeping Orlando from turning into a dumpster fire, the issue with acquiring him might not be Orlando’s asking price." But in return for trade value, it is almost like the Magic should accept any crap offered for him, like the other team is doing the Magic a favor in taking him. I definitely understand the issues with Vuch. But this whole "the Magic should be willing to take the other team's crap because they are the Magic and should be thankful for anything at all" is getting out of hand. No, we don't want your young center who can't even hit 40% from the field. No, we don't want your expiring scraps. Other teams might as well sign a one armed player with a bad limp to trade to the Magic and the Magic should be thankful. And for as much as I have written that Vuch might just be an incremental improvement for another team, sometimes that is all you need. While an incremental improvement doesn't mean much to us- Vuch is who he is and we need to give our other guys time to grow- for a capped out team challenging for the championship, don't you want to improve your team as much as you can? Why shouldn't the Lakers trade high on one of their inconsistent youngsters for a center who has been very consistent this year and is in his prime? A center who is better than all of their centers combined? If the Magic would absolutely fall apart without him, then why does he have absolutely no value anywhere else? It is either one or the other. Either he is good and valuable to teams, or he is not. But don't make it out to be somehow both.

25-28 from the line tonight 22-24 from the line last night... getting to the line often and making 90% of your attempts sure does help to win ball games

AG - LACING IT UP!!! (He's On A Mission)

Shout out to briscoe guy is looking more comfortable out there and is helping the 2nd unit look some what decent. Just needs to control his fouling

Dude right now I would take a 79 Pinto for Grant!

This team is so *****ing hard to figure out. There's no pattern. Every few games they're different

OLD SCHOOL. YESS!!

I like this lineup. Maybe we should trade Vuc and whatever for Beal and play like the Rockets do, telling Beal to do his best Harden imitation. Birch would be Capela. 4 out 1 in starters: DJ, Beal, Ross, Gordon, Birch bench: Briscoe, Fournier, Isaac, Bamba

Not liking what I see thus far. The body language looks awful. They appear sluggish and snake bitten.

Vooch is hurt now.

Magic are 4 for 19 from the field. I can already read the handwriting on the wall. Body language. It is all about body language.

Boston WILL tie or take the lead. Book it.

When Birch and Briscoe left and the others returned I knew Boston would tie this or take the lead before it ends and they have.

If we use our own 2019 unprotected 1st round pick for a PG we get someone that we hope might develop into our PG of the future but may not work out (see EP). How many of you would be willing to trade our unprotected pick towards an established successful PG?

If we did that trade for Conley I’d be tempted to go full win now mode and trade Bamba Ross and Simmons for Beal and try to resign Vuc on a friendly deal. Conley/Beal/Isaac/Gordon/Vuc could make some noise...
