Vooch defence cost us the game for sure

 

Yea Vuch defense was the main culprit. How did he let them score 54 points in the paint?

@OMagicDaily Judging by the questions being asked and some of the responses, this is a turning point. #Magic either come together or completely fracture.

@OMagicDaily And I am beginning to believe it is the latter.

 

@elfrid "I didn't have any problems guarding" then walks away from press questions frustrated

 

looooooooool he must be smoking

 

How many times have we heard this? This is like the 4th time the past month. We all already know the answer and it's not me being negative it's just me knowing, like everyone else on here, that the Magic will indeed choose the latter.

It kind of feels like the players don't want to back Skiles. Which is sad. Skiles isn't exactly a basketball savant but he's got a hell of a lot more experience winning than any of these guys. They need to do their jobs or gtfo.

 

I'm taking hope in the fact that Skiles 1st year in Chicago was horrible and then the next year they were good.

@EvanFourmizz extremely frustrated

"We need to go back to being fully focused" referenced "outside" distractions

Russell and Clarkson are miles ahead of Payton.

 

Oladipo and Gordon played hard which is good because they're one of the very few players with the skillset to become championship players.

This is likely what all the FA's are thinking. They surely are not comming to Orlando. This is how they truly feel.

I agree. Now, It is clear that VUC is not the problem. Just like we just realize that Tobias was not the problem.

I think we need to work on getting another PG and defensive big while keeping VIC, AG, VUC and Mario. I still think we can work with Elfrid in the offseason, but I am tired of thinkinig.

This is the most fickle fan base. Payton and Gordon had equitable games...one's playing like garbage yet the other is the future. Randle beasted Gordon, for those who were watching without rose colored glasses.

What the hell man? I went to bed at the half a little concern but positive.

 

39 points in a quarter by LA?! Did I read that right?

I saw that in the 2nd. Randle made AG look like a pop warner in the paint on a couple of plays.

From the very first successful offensive play of the game.
