Stop complaining about the missed timeout. If Clifford was given the T.O., he would have called the final play for Fournier again, who would have turned it over AGAIN, or missed the shot AGAIN. What a mistake it was that he was not traded.
Fournier would be nothing more than a 10th - 11th man off the bench on a championship team. Magic will NEVER be anything serious with Fournier as the starting "2". Notice who was on the bench during tonight's 17 - 2 run? Notice who missed the game during the Magic's "signature" win against the Lakers?
Fournier is just horrible defensively...and when he is not scoring, a complete and total detriment to the team. He would be no better than a 11th man on the Warriors, or most teams that are not fooled by the RARE shot he makes at the end of a couple of games.
Can we please get a comment from Hammond or Weltman on what plans they have to rectify this situation? Are they content with what is on the floor? Guarantee when we were up by 16 points, Vooch, Fournier and the rest were wondering how long will it be before the lead is lost. This team has a losing mentality for 5+ years that is nearly impossible to lose. Even Clifford seems to be resigned to losing. Need to wipe the slate clean with players that are only used to losing and get some from winning programs that will do more than talk about being ready to win.
