not happening. This team will NOT intentionally lose any games. It will not be a good vibe to finish the season like that. The goal is to make the playoff and play whoever comes after that. No reason to be afraid of anyone at this moment. You play to win.
I think it's no coincidence that the Magic started their winning ways once there was more of Briscoe and Birch and less of Grant and Bamba. Although Mo is hurt and that could explain some of his struggles. With Birch and Briscoe the energy level and toughness has gone up. The defense has improved greatly. I'm not sure if Bamba is out for the rest of the year but if he isn't I wouldn't insert him back into the backup spot and take away Birch's minutes. Briscoe gets the team into a nice up tempo flow offensively as well.
Play of the game imo was AG diving on the floor for that loose ball and then seconds later making that block. That is the kind of hustle we need from EVERYONE the rest of the way.
Man... they can’t miss from mid range, the refs haven’t done us any favors, they’re one of the best home squads in the league... gotta love that we’re in this one
I already changed the channel. Not liking what I see. This is not gonna end well today I am afraid. Same old story. Can't beat the high school teams. Oh well. Next.
So we are now 3-3 since the break. We beat Toronto, Golden State, and Indiana. And we lost to the Bulls, Knicks, and Cavs. (Yes I already have the loss tonight to the Cavs in the books).
