2018-19 Official Season Discussion Thread
hootie249 replied to The Neighborhood Bully's topic in Orlando Magic Forum
Yes i read reddit, sorry the link is so big. I think bringing up the past is bad here, we all want to move forward. The reason why i posted this is the great link from two years ago just for fun. also why we are doing better now and all the commentary in the thread. Great stuff. I'm still a little upset about the Bamba pick if we keep Vucevic, but i do think our management has a plan and so far i'm impressed it's working out. -

I'm happy the Magic seemingly have turned a corner this season.I'm not going to just forget the fact that we missed out on a few game changing players in this draft. Also our best player in theory plays the same position as our most recent draft pick. Honestly in a super small sample size, this is looking like one of the best drafts this decade. I hope Bamba comes from behind and shows he was one of the best picks. Bamba is not Jokic, just like the other elite centers nowadays he is going to need a good playmaker beside him to unlock his potential. -

Watching Skip Bayless, he is saying Curry is not clutch. What a moron. I do not watch many Warriors games but Draymond is a little bit of a liability this year. The bench is not as good. -

Whats the downside to playing Fultz in the G-league? Any rules against it? I guess it's just up to management? I don't think it's the end of the world, but if he doesn't play anywhere before summer league it's going to be a PR nightmare. -

I had to leave the house after halftime. Walked into a bar with about 8 minutes to go. What a finish. I had to time to re watch the 3rd and 4th quarters this morning. Amazing resilience from the Magic, it looked like they were going to get blown out for most of the second half. They just kept playing defense and making plays. Outstanding game. -

Avoided posting last night, but i watched the game. Lot's of legitimate things to say, but i am impressed by the Knicks talent. The big bench number being thrown around, those guys played more minutes then the starters. Obviously the coach liked their play and energy and kept them in. They outplayed us in the fourth, i watched until the last few seconds.There is a big difference between players who have been in the league for 6 or 7 years and are just collecting paychecks and these players. They are all young, all of them are hoping to be starting a long career. This is why tanking teams win sometimes, the players aren't tanking.Also the Knicks have been doing the addition by subtraction thing for almost two whole years now. They acquired all these young guys because some of them are going to be good. The ones not playing good on any given night get benched. Biggest reason we lost, besides getting out hustled is Fournier and Ross just didn't have it. It's really not a knock on them it's what they are, inconsistent.Poor shooting doomed us, and many will say poor fourth quarter defense. Really, they were just younger and quicker and the shots fell for them, it's the NBA it happens. Honestly we are going to win some games next month and i'm going to enjoy watching those games. My biggest hope is we have good health, so we can evaluate everyone these last two months. I hope we get Fultz and Bamba healthy and get them some minutes, even in the G-league. -

No it means we screwed up big time. However, the best way to make up for mistakes is to forget them and try to do better in the future. As of now i still feel like we are on the wrong path. Change is good, i'm glad we are about to make the playoffs, GO MAGIC! -

Nah, before he was hurt i was still amazed how well he was playing. Who else from his draft class is even playing right now, much less putting up almost MVP numbers? His biggest problem is simply choosing style over substance.If L.A. was really all he cared about he should have went to the Clippers. -

No i felt this way from mid December through January, the close losses made me lose faith because i thought we should be winning. However now i see it as improvement. At the time it just seemed more like the past. This Magic team is worth watching for the first time in two years. I'm all aboard! -

Well i'll tell you what if curses and luck were real we definitley jinxed the Magic that game. The Gordon foul was just excruciating when i finally thought we dodged a bullet for once. Anyhow, forget it. It's game day! -
