This can go one or two ways to begin the second half. Either we come out flat and get blown out. Or we come out aggressive and cut into this lead. I have a feeling that AG will light it up and throw it down.

Someone once told me that Brian Hill used to break clipboards in a fit of anger in front of the team and yell at them constantly. He used to get them riled up and they went out and would get it done afterward. I'm afraid that todays players need more coddling. They tend to not respond very well to being yelled at.

Get the lead down to 5 heading to the 4th quarter and we will win this thing.

AG has yet to score ? Someone please tell me that is a misprint ?

If we can get this lead down to 10 by halftime it's all good.

Clearly we are missing Evan tonight and his leadership. If he's playing tonight this is a tie game or we're winning.

Because he's lighting us up like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree on the 4th of July in Buffalo.

And that's your ballgame people. Oh well. A 2-2 road trip isn't bad at all. It only counts as one loss thankfully. We'll get the next one.

Evan needs to rush back ASAP. We need his outside shooting capabilities.

When is the last time the Magic held an opponent under 100 points ? Has to be awhile right ?

I heard Cliff say that and I am shocked. To not have a plan for Duncan Robinson ? Smh!

How can Cliff not have a better plan to defend Robinson to start the game ?

I just don't see us beating Minnesota, Houston, or Memphis coming up. Not the way we are playing right now defensively. No sense even watching the Rockets or the Grizzlies game. Those will be two blowout losses. And the Wolves almost got us at home recently and have won 2 straight. That game will be a little closer but will still result in a loss. Thankfully we are in the Eastern Conference. We will still be in the playoff hunt despite the 6 game losing streak.

It's gonna be the same old same old. "We need to get better defensively". Yada, yada, yada.

Looks like Evan is gonna play some hero ball here. He wants the final shot.

I smell a Magic turnover here to end the game.

The Magic will get their next win on March 12th against the Bulls at home. This is about to become a 6 game losing streak in the meantime.

How has the defense looked tonight ? Any better ?

No defense and we are going nowhere fast.

Turn out the lights. The party is over. The only mystery left now is what Clifford will say in his post game presser.

Think this one might be over unfortunately. Oh well. Have to play better in Miami next game.

This is quite baffling. And after every game they say they need to play better defense in the first half. Then they proceed to play even worse defense the next game in the first half.

What was Mario thinking ? Lol!

When Bamba puts the ball on the floor I cringe like I just sipped some bad beer.

At least we're consistent. Lol.
