He pulled up because Vuc wasnt looking for the ball due to the trip. Thats how I saw it at least.

Think he saw his guy fall and just pulled up from wherever he was. Bad instinct

I know the refs don't want to end the game with a foul, but you shouldn't be able to throw someone to the ground at the end of the game either. I'll watch for the report and see how the league goes with it.

The league won't say anything because nobody outside of Magic fans (who are minimal in the grand scheme of things) care... Should've been a foul call... Would've even been good for business, is how it would've resulted in overtime if Elf hit both

[Jay Magic 1,251]

outrageous shooting from wes johnson also...career high in 3s by far tonight.

 

take away 1 of those and we win..

 

this 1 stings.

 

Evan, Vooch and Harris need to come better than that in Denver and Phoenix.

I've been in love with Skiles' coaching but I hated how he went with Vuc and Smith together when they haven't played nearly any minutes together this year. We were doing well and should've kept Gordon in there...

 

Horrible game to lose after being up by 10 so late and all those BS 3s from Johnson and Crawford.

 

Pissed but I'm also super sleepy so let's just move on :/

 

Exactly and why wasn't Aaron Gordon in while Elfrid was shooting free throws when he's our best put back man

Too many mistakes in this game

 

Fournier's horrible travel, Harris' horrible shot, Vuc's horrible play throughout, Oladipo's horrible shot, Skiles' horrible lineup to end the game...

yeah maybe. just stings, we had it. seems like we lost it rather than they won it outright.

 

but onto the next 1 i guess

Skiles starting the first and second half putting Vucevic on Griffin

Yep.. what a bad taste this game left me with. The Clipper fans were already booing their team and we let it slip

Things we learned this game:

 

- Don't play big men together who aren't used to playing together (Vuc & Smith)

- Payton needs to keep the gas on and be aggressive all game (learn from Vic)

- Fournier is who we thought he was in the sense that he's only as good as he believes he is. His confidence has wained significantly.

- Tobias needs more general consistency in jump-shot and effort.

- This team's defense is nasty when it has energy. We simply lost focus at the end of the game.

- We need to limit minutes for players - even when they're playing well. Simply put: Oladipo lost gas in the end.

By the way, I just feel the necessity to mention that Austin Rivers sucks! Man oh man, he's lucky his daddy's a coach
