OFFICIAL GAMETHREAD: Magic vs Wizards
Darrell_Armstrong replied to Mauro Pedrosa's topic in Orlando Magic Forum
Unfortunately we just play frustrated and mad instead of motivated and smart. Also, our offense is so stagnant without Payton. Oladipo can't initiate any offense. We just run around handing off the ball behind the three point line. It's like watching 5 Anthony Johnsons with their back to the basket. -

It summarizes 2 years of Magic-Wizards games. I just assume Wall is the best player in the NBA because I only watch Orlando games. -
Well, good to hear that they are both okay and also glad that Skiles made the decision to bench them if they weren't playing well. Looking forward to the future of this team. Not surprised Evan is killing it after the way he started last year. It makes you wonder where he'd be if he hadn't gotten injured last season.

Didn't see the game tonight. Why weren't Vuc and Oladipo playing? I understand Dipo since he's coming back from the concussion. Anything wrong with Vuc?

Official Gamethread: OKC VS ORL

Finding out a lot about our players tonight. Elfrid, for one, is a competitor. He and Victor are taking it personally. Win or lose, these are the types of games that define who you are going to be. -

Sounds like we watched the same game! -

Things this game confirmed for me: 1) Hezonja, Gordon, and Elfrid are the future of this team 2) Oladipo is still an awkward fit unless he can consistently shoot better (I think we're better trading him for a purer shooter at the 2) 3) Vucevic might be underutilized in this offense 4) Frye is terrible at defense. Skiles likes defense. Sorry Channing. 5) We need a number 1. At the end of the game you knew two things - Wall was going to get their shot, and we had no one who looked comfortable yet being that guy. Somewhat surprised that Napier didn't get any burn and I was disappointed in Fournier and Watson. We need shooting badly and those two need to hit open shots. -
Haven't had the opportunity to watch the team yet this year, but I think it's interesting that our two best players (Dipo and Vuc) are also potentially the most expendable. Dedmon brings what we need from the position (rim protection and rebounding) and there is a logjam at the 2 spot that could be filled by Fournier, Hezonja, or Marble. I'm not saying we're necessarily better without either of them, but if this team doesn't gel, it'll be interesting around the trade deadline to see if one of them (or both) gets moved for the superstar we're missing. A starting lineup of Elfrid/Harris/Gordon/Dedmon with a superstar wing sounds intriguing.

Thanks, I didn't realize they had in-game box scores online. Summer league stepping it up (minus replacing Dante and Galante).
-
Anyone have a sense of AG's stats so far? I'm just reading comments but he seems to have at least 15 points and some assists. Sounds like Elf is having a rough go today.
-
Holy mother of god! Thanks for posting that. Wow, a lineup of Elf/Dipo/Mario/Gordon is high flying.
-
Anyone with a working link for those without League Pass?
-
Wow, Gordon with 18 and 9 in the first half. That's impressive. Payton has been up and down. Some great plays and some sloppy. Hezonja looked tentative but showed some flashes.
-
For all the old folks on here. Just remember watching Kyle Orton chuck 20 foot jumpers in summer league and think about how far this franchise has come since then.
-
And this is why you don't trade AG for Favors.... For all those saying they don't see how this is a playoff team next year, it's about development of our current players, not bringing in a quick fix.
