yeah. that's why they're moving the season up two weeks next year. Back to backs should happen rarely and you should play 4 games in 5 nights only once or twice per year.

 

so far we're 1-4 on the second day of back to backs, 7-10 when given 1 day of rest, and 2-0 with 2 days of rest.

 

the one game we won on a second day of a back to back was against philly.

 

Does this mean they are adding two weeks to the schedule to spread games out more?

that's my understanding.

[Odin 137]

that's my understanding.

 

That would be great. I think 14 extra rest days throughout the season should really improve the quality of play.

 

Basically, we will be on a similar schedule to the NHL.

At least we aren't the Rams guys!

Standing at 10-15 on the season, the Magic, namely Vogel and his coaching staff, have tinkered with their starting lineup more than a few times this year in hopes to strike on success.

 

Those changes have come at the expense of Payton, who has been relegated to coming off the bench in favor for journeyman guard D.J. Augustin.

 

In the case of Gordon, he’s had to adjust playing on the wing with newcomer Serge Ibaka lining up as the team’s starting power forward.

 

By far the most grim reality of the bunch is Hezonja’s, who’s been relegated out of the team’s rotation and has received only spot minutes for the last month.

 

For Payton, Gordon and Hezonja to struggle out of the gates this year or beyond highlights the concerns over the Magic’s handling of the one-time building blocks of their future.

I feel like Mario will turn the page this year. Something will start clicking for him

Lol yeah, Magic's record isn't what they'd hoped so far. After a new coaching staff were hired, guys aren't developing uber fast. Concerning.

I actually was being sarcastic, as the quote from the article didn't say anything that any of us don't already know. We suck and our draft picks are trending more towards being busts than stars. We all know this.

From bench yes, I think by the end of the season he'll end up being 6 or 7th in rotation
