Tough Break There 96 Report post Posted November 5, 2014 Finally yanked Ridnour. We really couldn't have found a better back-up PG? Guy doesnt belong in the league anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNameIsOrlando 310 Report post Posted November 5, 2014 Holy smokes am I impressed with Payton. I honestly thought he would be a turnover machine based on the preseason but he has realed it in and other than the one game against WA he doesn't have more than 2 turnovers in a game including tonight so far.

TreyMachine 395 Report post Posted November 5, 2014 Finally yanked Ridnour. We really couldn't have found a better back-up PG? Guy doesnt belong in the league anymore. He makes good shots and is a pretty good passer. Had a bad spell but has played well the past few games. He was also cheap and wouldn't create a controversy for Elfrid. Who else with talent wants to play back-up to a rookie on a tanking team? Exactly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't make his FT's, but I love his defensive awareness and he is one of the best passers I've seen in this league at such a young age. He reminds me a lot of a young Jason Kidd. Kidd could never shoot either, though developed a decent 3 after a few years that he could use to stretch the floor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TreyMachine 395 Report post Posted November 5, 2014 We play about 40 good minutes of basketball each night. It's that other 10% of the game that costs us a 'W' each game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Franchero MVP 391 Report post Posted November 5, 2014 Payton is nasty. Love it. His offense needs ALOT of offseason work. It's pretty broken as it is, but I love the hustle. Dude gets blocked as much as big baby though lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

~O~ 565 Report post Posted November 5, 2014 .....I might be a Masochist for watching these past four games. When the Magic can't take advantage of teams with missing players, it shows how ineffective our strategy is. If the Magic played like this against a depleted Bulls, imagine how they would have pulverized the Magic at full strength. Looking at the entire picture, I feel the Magic aren't there yet at 4 games into the season but they should have been prepared for what the league has to offer. Our signings of "so called" veteran players hasn't benefited at all. The Magic only have ONE player out. Is Victor Oladipo's presence that important to the Magic's success? Jacque Vaughn shouldn't be on the hot seat yet 4 games into the season. I'll give him 20 games then we'll roll out a wheel barrel of coal for him to walk on. The bench of Harkless is the most questionable thing thus far. I believe he's developing Gordon and Payton for this season. We're going to miss out on the playoffs guys.
