All Eyes On Me

Feel like Vucevic put in the time and improved and even changed his play style after that Toronto series. Brook Lopez last year is about on par as a physical defender as Gasol was the year before, but Vooch really implemented the quick release jumper in to his game. It’s also why he’s been so consistent this year, even against guys that he used to struggle with. Agree with your initial point and everyone else’s sentiments, if the trade deadline moves revolve around clearing money to keep Evan Fournier without hitting the luxury tax I’ll be very upset.

So like, Ship Terrence for an expiring and a pick is the thought here? Possibly a prospect on an extremely light rookie deal as well?

Aaron went off for 38, whole team shot the 3 ball well. Tried to blow a great 3 quarters with a bad 4th but Brooklyn went ice cold down the stretch. Fun win. It was nice to win one

Make it 9 firsts and prime Jordan

Man, we’re dodging bullets like Neo

Find you someone that loves you the way Steve Clifford loves Khem Birch

Mo Bamba believes in the tank

Only way I’m trading Aaron Gordon after this is 8 firsts and prime Hakeem

It’s about time he started making wide open shots lol

Aaron’s having a hell of a game.

If we get Dinwiddie for Aminu and a 2nd, I’ll fly back home, streak a lap around Lake Eola, jump straight in to one of those Swan paddle boats upside down using my hands for the pedals and drive around until they inevitably arrest me

I have pinned TMFs awesome game thread! Let’s go Magic! See y’all in there

Even then, if the case was to be a ride the pine 3rd stringer behind Cole and MCW, why not go younger? and agreed on Chuma. His basketball IQ is what excites me the most, he just always seems to know what the right play is.

I don’t understand the move for him at all... we have a massive need for a passing point guard, and it’d be cool to give a young guy a shot, instead we sign a 28 year old journeyman who’s an undersized 2 guard, and a bad one at that...

Yeah, same with AG, he looked great against Miami then missed another week with soreness. It’s just a matter of time before Vucevic gets a random injury, at least I hope. The big fella needs rest. But he’s also probably in the running to make an All-NBA team at this point so maybe not

I honestly hope we don’t trade AG unless the offer is great. If we trade him just to trade him, I’ll be sad. Evan is as good as gone, that shipped should have sailed a long time ago, but at least it looks like the lines have been thrown off the dock.

Alex Martins only thinks in $$$ and is terrified of the financial ramifications of another rebuild.

So, we missed the playoffs our first 4 years as a team, which is kind of expected. Then we went on a run when we made it 14 of 18 seasons until the Dwightmare. We’re not as far off from being the San Antonio of the East as people think. Only difference is Duncan stayed, Shaq didn’t. As for trades, the only players I think we need to trade are Fournier and Birch because they’re not coming back next year, neither guy is worth going in to the tax over. I’m open to an AG, Ross or even Vooch trade IF it brings back + value. Aaron especially is someone we have to consider because of his contract expiring next year and the attention he’s garnering around the league.

Well, the good news is at this point I’ve seen about a third of the league linked to him, so if we’re playing it right, his cost should be going up

That’s totally something we’d do, go all in for CP3 13 years too late... lol

There’s a ton of smoke around an AG trade right now for it to not turn in to a fire. Rumors also that we’re shopping Fournier, Ross and to a lesser extent Vucevic. 10 days till the deadline, buckle up

Yep.. Ross and Vucevic shot 46 of our 75 shot attempts, but hell at least they made 25 of 46, including 14 of 26 from 3. Rest of the team? 8 for 29, 2 for 14 from 3. I very much agree with you that Chuma should’ve played more and gotten more attempts but for whatever reason that’s not happening, to the point where Clifford even chose to play Bacon and Aminu over him in crunch time. It’s maddening, honestly. Aminu is awful and Bacon has the lowest basketball IQ I’ve ever seen, worse than that, they both are knowns, they’re never gonna be better than they are right now... we suck, play the damn kids!

Wonder how many times in NBA history teammates have combined for 69 or more points and the team still scored under 100

What a way to lose... Dwayne Bacon’s basketball IQ is in the negatives

Why the hell is Aminu playing over Okeke?! I’m getting so tired of Clifford
