Ibn Battuta 127 Report post Posted September 23, 2016 Payton Hezonja green gordon Biyombo Watson Meeks Zimmerman filler is still like a 25 win team. Only two, maybe three people on that list can shoot from outside. Yea we'll defend for days but the offense... If you subtract Evan Fournier from this squad I think we're easily fighting with Brooklyn as worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be more impressive if 10 of those wins didn't come against a 17 win Knicks team, an 18 win Philly team, and a 25 win Orlando team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope. Gotta beat the bad teams. That's something we didn't do last year with losses to Philly, Phoenix, and LA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catalina Maria 64 Report post Posted September 24, 2016 Nope. Gotta beat the bad teams. That's something we didn't do last year with losses to Philly, Phoenix, and LA We will be better than Larry Bird's Indiana team this year. Vogel has a vendetta against them. 6th seed. Calling it. People underestimate what freeing Gordon on defense at the wing will do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RavenclawMagic 12 Report post Posted September 24, 2016 One of the most difficult jobs in Orlando these days belongs to the Magic's new coach, Frank Vogel. True, the roster that Vogel has inherited features more talent and more depth than the rosters Jacque Vaughn and Scott Skiles coached. But the team's recent offseason improvements came at a price: a lack of familiarity. Only six players — Evan Fournier, Aaron Gordon, Mario Hezonja, Elfrid Payton, Nikola Vucevic and C.J. Watson — return from last year's squad. This year's team will take some time to jell, if it jells at all. The Magic will hold their first official training-camp practice on Tuesday. The month ahead will be crucial. Here's what the Magic must accomplish before they open their regular season on Oct. 26. Link Rob Hennigan: I think first and foremost our expectation is that we’ll cement an identity for ourselves as a smart, physical, unselfish, defensive-minded team. And we expect to make the playoffs. Link Smells like training camp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chosen12 75 Report post Posted September 24, 2016 Nope. Gotta beat the bad teams. That's something we didn't do last year with losses to Philly, Phoenix, and LA I couldn't agree more! The other and more concerning issue is that while in Indy, Vogel never lost the players, win lose or just ugly games, he lost Larry Bird! Here I don't think he will lose either Henny or the team, so come January of 17, we should be in a much better position than last year when Skiles wanted to quit.
