Thomas Bryant is both incredibly annoying and also proof that Vooch is completely expendable. A guy that simply tries hard can impact the game just as much.

If it were up to me all 3 aren’t in Magic uniforms next year. I’m most inclined to keep Ross but there would be a specific number in mind (I don’t know it yet) for me to bring him back. I like Ross the teammate and when he’s scoring we’re a different team. He’s still youngish but can lead some. I wouldn’t get crazy with his contract because he’s just to hot and cold. But he’s someone I’m not against Re-signing. Vuch and Evan GTFO. We’re in this “playoff race” and Vuch, our all star, just shows little heart out there. He can’t take over games. He doesn’t get baskets late when we need him to. I would be extremely disappointed if he’s on this team next year. If there’s such thing as empty stats he’s the poster boy for it. Evan I just don’t even know anymore. Regressed across the board.

The only problem I have with Ross isn't even a problem with Ross. We are so *****ing reliant on Ross to carry our bench that when he is off it shines a glaring spotlight on him and him alone simply because he has to take every damn shot forced or not. Our bench is absolute garbage and if we had even a slightly decent scorer to offset Ross' bad nights we would be just fine. Ross has carried our ****ty bench all year. I am not going to hang him out to dry when he has an off game.

Yeah but why have Ross and Iwundu seemingly regressed? The pressure of playing meaningful games could be part of the reason. I'm reading this thread, and I'm thinking that we need to keep some perspective. People are terribly disappointed that we appear to be melting down when we have a weak schedule and seemingly a good chance to make the playoffs; I get it. But the emotion people are showing is a welcome change from previous years, when most game threads at this point in the year had only a few pages, many people wouldn't watch the games, and most of those who were watching were rooting for us to lose the last 25 games to get a better shot at a good draft pick. At least this year the team has given us something to care about at this point in the season. Does it look like they're going to fall short? Yes. Do they have some serious holes that need to be filled, especially with bench scoring? Absolutely. Are there issues with their mental toughness? Apparently so, but at least they are getting the experience of playing under some pressure; maybe it will help correct that. There is something now to build on. Add a couple of pieces over the summer and I think we could be a legitimate playoff team next season. That is a start.

He needs to look in the mirror really dam hard. He looks lost most the time.

Totally agree with this assessment. 110 percent!

I refuse to listen to anything he has to say. He is f ing useless

I know Jay is gonna hate to hear this especially coming from AG, but he just said that "Washington outworked them tonight. He said we just didn't have the right effort and energy level". Are you fricken kidding me bro ? ! This time of the year in a playoff race you're not gonna give max effort and have the necessary energy level to get it done ?

Draft BPA, fill holes, plan on Fultz/Isaac/Bamba development.

I don't think it's a mental thing as much as it's flaws that were hidden when Ross was playing like an all star, briscoe was in and iwundu was hitting shots

Just came by to say I. Hate. This. Damn. Team.

Pretty close.

We are now 1-5 in the games we had to go 8-2 in at worst.

There’s Fourniers completely baffling turnover requirement

I think our strategy might have been to tire them out by allowing them to race past us for numerous layups in the first half. Might be working :)

Wow I just got back later than I expected from work and I haven't even turned the game on yet. I signed in here first and was gonna turn it on, but just by looking at the comments it doesn't look good. Now I hope you all can understand what I have been trying to tell you about this basketball team. They are not going to make the playoffs. They simply don't have what it takes mentally. Not yet anyhow. I would love to be wrong but afraid that I am right.

Simple. Create the illusion of one thing while hiding your true intentions.

Same old story. Offense folds up in the money quarter. Already changed the channel. Watching Impractical Jokers on Tru TV, Oh well. Need to do something on this upcoming 5 game homestand after this loss. Still plenty of time. But not looking good.

He and Fournier have to go

make your you take a long two not a three evan. f*&* i hate this team, can't wait for no Evan and Vooch, they kill me.

Dude I'd be happy with Patrick Beverly

I really wish we'd be able to be out of it vs just dealing with the football being pulled so many times but we're really not out of it yet.

Miami up by 26 over Detroit. Gonna be Detroit, Miami, and Brooklyn for the 3 remaining playoff spots in the East.

"Don't have the mental makeup" That is what I have said all along. Something has to be done to change that moving forward.

Ever hear of smoke and mirrors ? I believe there really was no intention of making the playoffs.
