UEBERMORTAL 125 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 Ibaka's stats weren't empty. Stop defending him. He already has closed the door on the Magic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Odin 137 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 I'm just saying his stats weren't empty. Our starters actually outplayed houstons Yep, they got 46 points out of their bench. And Harden was very inefficient- 6-21 shooting, 3-10 from 3, but also got 14 free throws because he is Harden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Franchero MVP 391 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 We aren't good, sure, but we lost to possibly the 3rd best team in the league who blows a lot of teams out, and had long stretches where we looked competent. I'd agree if we weren't getting blown out constantly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 I'd agree if we weren't getting blown out constantly I'd be happier if we weren't actively shopping Vucevic and Ibaka. you can look at the game and say "our starters looked great. augustin, Watson, rudez, and biyombo blew that game. Fix those spots and we're in a better position". But with Ibaka and vucevic almost definitely being somewhere else next year and Payton's long term future here disappearing the closer we get to a top pick it's kinda hard to find silver linings with last night's performance.

fan for too long 2 531 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 Payton's numbers are not as good and our offense stagnates because Evan. He is trying to be our go to guy when he should play off the ball like JJ. Vogels planning I'm sure. But Payton is very passive when Evan is playing and is told to give Evan the ball just past half court. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you'd keep them and trade someone else at the deadline? Who? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 So you'd keep them and trade someone else at the deadline? Who? no, im saying hypothetically if we were in a situation where both were in our long term plans we could point to them and say "LOOK! HOPE!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it wrong to think we might be better off keeping those two and shipping off some the younger assets wisely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
