Out defense is atrocious. skiles need to lock the rotation to just 8 to 9 players. Let Mario develop. Mario seems to be playing without confidence. Why is Nicholson not playing at all? He was very good back in December. I know we have IIy now but AN was very good for us. It is clear that Fournier value is high and I am confident enought to say he is more valuable NOW than Oladipo. We better come uo with something good or we just need to go full on the tank mode. Skiles needs to be responsible here for something. We are playing the worst defense i have ever seen on a Magic team, Ever.

True. Besides, it appears as Skiles is not a fan of Mario at all. If you heard the post game conference, he said he "liked" his offense but was not good at the other end.(defense). I think he was ok. Fournier is far better defensively but Mario is not that bad. I just dont see Mario playing many major minutes with Scott as our Head coach.

No. If you read well, I stated that this will give us a better view on Mario as a starter and might give us an idea what to do for the rest of the season and can help finally determine the future of one of our current SG/SF on our team. We might not need to overpay someone that likely will affect Marios ability to start. Thats it.

Can we use this thread as todays game-thread?

Now. This is a very important and special moment for the Magic organization. If for some reason Mario does a wonderful and excellent job as a starter, a lot of questions will arise in regards Fournier or Oladipo future with the team. Will oladipo be traded or do we sign fournier in the offseason??? This game can help answering some of those questions. Maybe it is too soon, maybe not. Will see.

There is a reason now for me to see the game.

Can we get a gamethread?

Brandon jennings is only 4 years older. Just saying.

I saw that. But this is a report from mike Bianchi. Not really much more that an opinion. I didnt come from Noah or Horford. Just an opinion. I like the idea tho.

We can go 6 in a row. We can win that golden state game at home.

Really? Did Noah said that? I know there are reports that Horford has said he will consider Orlando. Now, this could be a way of them increasing their selling pitch as teams now know that orlando can get Two high level agents in the offseason. I have never heard anything in regards of Noah tho. Any links?

He was truly a great teammate and veteran presence. High IQ player that will succeed in Cleveland. Unfortunately, it didnt work for us. Best of luck!

Sucks for sure but our team still young. We have a good core of players that can step in if someone gets injured. Hopefully the other locked playoff teams will start resting their starters by then.

If I am not mistaken, We have 14 home games left. The way I see it is that We need to take care of those home games. I think we can win that Golden State game at home later this month. Cleveland game will be difficult tho. The rest are dueable. Hopefully we get 13 out of 14. That will do it. Just take care of those home games! We can win a few on the road. (Knicks, sixers, etc..)

I am just looking at our schedule and playoff picture. I just dont see us making it. We are currently sitting at 11 place with Detroit and Washington just above us. They are looking to get into the picture as well. They got significantly better with recent trades and i expect those teams to make it. That means that charlotte and chicago will be out. So for us to get in, we have to win at least 60 percent of our games and hope either miami and indiana loose 60 percent of their remaining games. We can also compete against Detroit and washington but they are definetely better than us and their remaining schedule is not as bad as ours. We need to win the next 6 games.

Lets talk about potential players we can have in the next couple of days after either they are waived or potentially undergoing a buy out process. We have a roster spot available after Frye's trade. Two names I like: David lee JJ Hickson. kevin Martin has been also mentioned but not concrete talks yet.

Eehh.. That means we are giving up in elfrid. I rather go with a good PF and a combo sg/sf instead.

OMG!! Nicholson- Tim Duncan and Vuc - Dirk!!!! LoL!!

Im sorry but i was quoting you. You Were the one with the team full of scrubs comment, not me. I am ok with the moves but to call a guy a Genius without knowing results is a little too soon.

Genius? Perfect situation??? Mmmm.. Young studs, ton of cap money but yet a team of scrubs and no money. I think you are overreacting a little. Lets see what happen in the offseason befor you crown him with the genius award. I am excited with Jenning. I think he will be something.

Really? Thats a heck of a deal for LA. Why will memphis do that?

And dont forget about David Lee.

When did the vince carter trade happened? That was a big move.

Poor Napier. He was complaining as he was bot getting enough playing time. Now he will not even dress to play anymore. He will likely be inactive for the rest of the season.
