OFFICIAL GAMETHREAD!! Magic vs Heat - Season Opener

[Svanxx 30]

Payton is getting owned again on the pick and roll right now.

[Years of Tragic and Magic 13]

God damn ibaka is being lazy on defense -- letting these guys just get to the rim -- looks gassed -- missing BIYOMBO right now

 

No doubt.....Doesn't look like much of a Rim Protector.

Our paint defence is very very poor tonight

[Franchero MVP 391]

Liking Payton's aggressiveness

EP shutting the haters

down !

[crisby pancakes 126]

Liking Paytons agressiveness at least and he's making free throws!? when did this start happening?

[magicblue 315]

This is not timely, but Ibaka's defense has been quite underwhelming so far. The play where AG got beat and he chose not to rotate and instead point out AG was particularly frustrating. I hope this guys head is on right and he isn't just thinking about scoring because he missed more than just that one rotation...and he's supposed to be our defensive cog

[Odin 137]

Who is this Payton? Can he please stay?

[Fultz4thewin 2,464]

Think some of ibaka's issues are foul trouble. Can't afford for him to be taken out by fouls

[Years of Tragic and Magic 13]

If Ibaka is playing conservative he might be hurting us more than helping us. He's not making shots and is playing soft on defense because he's worried about fouling.

Ibaka sucks

[Franchero MVP 391]

Fournier is oddly bad at technical FTs lol
