GAME THREAD: MAGIC Vs. BUCKS

[HeHateMe]

I'll blame those 2 dreadful turnovers by Jennings and the no call on the 3 seconds. Up 5 with a minute left and still lose. That was vintage Magic right there.

[~O~]

We were competive and lost; that's a good thing.

 

I don't like this game. The Magic are going to have to raise the bar again. They invested too much hard work into that game to lose like that. That's pitiful.

 

I'm mad, honestly mad, they lost that game. What we want to stop seeing is competitive moral losses. These type of games where they work hard but don't win is a dose we've got for the last 4 seasons.

I don't know why I even bother. Every time I see such bias bullsh with the officiating. Every time. F the NBA. Seriously.

 

Mario should've gotten the call to take the last shot too.

Opp

Victor Oladipo is the first Magic player to have a game with at least 18 points, five steals, five assists, four blocks and 3 boards ever.

A call going against the magic =/= bias

Fwiw, we were never up by more than 1 in the last 1:51, not 5

Vooch missing a critical free throw seems to be a trend in many of our close losses. Also thought Gordon was in good position to knock away Parker's shot, but he didn't jump.

 

This just shows why we need a better defensive big man. An Al Horford would have eaten that shot up.

 

Fourier should have seen the defender waiting and dumped the ball off to Dipo for the winning shot.

 

But, if Vooch made two, we could have run the clock down and forced OT.

 

This game ended the way all games do with Skiles. Questionable substitutions very late in the game and losing control while the subs get back in the flow. It's a little thing, but it changes the game. And a lack of interior defense costing us in the end. Plus, weak plays or poorly executed plays when we have to score. Teams pack everyone in the lane so they don't give up the drive and we run plays where our guys run right into the defense.

[~O~]

Great game from Oladipo, hezonja.

 

Can't wait for jennings to leave.

Decades of those calls determining the outcome of the game absolutely is bias.

I'm sure fans of any team would say the same thing.

[Air Gordon]

The missed 3 seconds call followed by the charge on the other end was laughable, especially cause you could have called the 3 seconds call on like 3 different Bucks. Usually the refs swallow the whistle in the last 30 seconds as sort of an unwritten rule, so if they were gonna let one slide, they should've let both.

 

Enjoy Victor Oladipo, guys. He's been one of the best two way players in the NBA post all-star.

I disagree.

 

My whole point wasn't to blame the refs for the loss, I'm blaming the refs for ruining a perfectly played game win or lose. It's why I don't watch as much as I use to.
