Magic @ Hawks - Wednesday, Feb. 26th at 7:30 P.M.
Fultz4thewin replied to TrueMagicFan07's topic in Orlando Magic Forum
I wish we had 4 or 5 more wins right now so we could sacrifice some games to get Bamba some offensive confidence. He's bad on offense and he's leading us in scoring. What's he going to look like when he gets good on that end? -

It's just a common thing. Russillo just went on a rant the other day about how Houston really wanted to trade Capella out of the West. It's pointless. It's more about having to face a potential mistake I think. We're guaranteed to play Washington 4 times every year and potentially another 7 times in the playoffs. That's a lot of reminders about how things went wrong. -

There's no way Washington would ever trade beal within the division -

I kind of thought the same thing. He was standing next to the guy so maybe he didn't do the signal but it wasn't like the other thing. Last night I wondered if he said that to get a makeup call. We got away with physical defense the last minute. -

This isn't something that he can change in the short term. He's still an outsider on a team full of veterans who have been here forever. He's joining an established team. So he's judicious about picking his spots and he'll be that way until he takes ownership over this roster. You see it from time to time. Every few games he'll get frustrated and just take over. So it exists in him. And we don't really deviate and install specific packages for specific matchups during the regular season. It's one of the reasons I'm excited about the playoffs. Team philosophy changes so that's the time we might run specific plays for him instead of having him run the offense exclusively. -

No. Brooklyn's game plan was to limit him as last time he dropped 25 on them so they built everything to disrupt his drives and closed out on his mid-range. So he facilitated. Should have had 12 assists. Guys bricked a bunch of open shots. Fultz was sloppy early and his shot looked bad relative to where it was a few games ago but he wasn't a non-factor. He's just not going to force offense when there's "better" shots available. -

Ross and Gordon went 15 for 16 from the field in the second half and hit 7 threes Also Gordon did this: -

What a gritty win that should be big on setting the culture for the next two months. But if we take a step back on Wednesday it's pointless -

I mean I definitely think there's logic behind getting a real 3 and D guy in with the starters because iwundu is too inconsistent. Iwundu tends to produce in waves and you probably want someone more reliable in there. I'm just not sure why anyone ever thought that was ennis. Ennis might get hot and hit 4 threes in a game. Iwundu has never made more than 2. That's the only real difference on offense -
Magic Vs. Mavericks - Friday, February 21st at 7:00 P.M.

You don't get open looks with ball movement. You get open looks with penetration and forcing the defense to help. So, yeah, it's nice we have a bunch of shooters on the bench but you need a guy who can do stuff with the ball to create open looks for teammates. We should be playing Vucevic more with the bench. We should be playing Bamba more with the starters. It would solve a ton of our issues. -

Well you can't guarantee that but like I said a little while ago. His timetable matches up with a mid March return. I'm not sure if we'll risk having him play but normal people can return to sports 4-6 weeks after he's no longer immobilized which -

That is true. His ft rate is almost double what he's done in the past. He's only 7 ft attempts away from hitting his attempts from last year. It's tough with Ross because not every contested three is bad. But a number of them are -

Ross would be shooting 36.5% from 3 if he just took open and wide open threes. -

Vucevic has the easiest 3 point shooting profile in the entire league. Ross has the hardest. -

Probably. We still probably should though. We should beat Brooklyn tonight. We should beat Atlanta. We should beat Minnesota without towns. We should beat a San Antonio team that's slowly sliding out of the playoff race -

This is a pretty naive post. We have scouts whose sole job is to watch other teams and discuss NBA players. -

Probably. It's just probably a tougher decision than we make it out to be. If our issues are offense and shooting it's difficult to make the decision to move away from our "best" two offensive players. Fultz keeps slowly getting more responsibility so we probably feel like we're balancing today and growth. We're just really in a tough position for the next 27 or whatever games. The more we go away from Vucevic the worse his impact is. On the flip side the more we go away from fournier the more improved he becomes. But we have to win basketball games. But Bamba specifically seems hindered by the tight leash Clifford has him on. And fultz seems ready to take on the role we need him to take but there's still mistakes he makes as a young player that hurt us sometimes. I'm on team "hand the keys over to the young guys and let them be responsible for our success or failure" but I also recognize that it's easy for me to say that because I want to maximize the future while Clifford is more focused on Dallas and it's difficult to change a team's identity mid season.
