Is management allowed to seek a commitment from him and play him accordingly? Personally I wouldn't play anybody that won't be on the team next season unless I thought they help the tank. That's a really good way to ***** up your locker room. Also we don't know if Mario will be here next year. There's still a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You want to keep a positive relationship with as many agents as you can. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We gave up 120 to the Knicks without Porzingis, for Petes sake (whoever Pete is). I was actually enjoying watching the Magic more with Biyombo/Birch (not Speights). They were putting out maximum effort on defense and the games were close. You could feel the defensive intensity and it seemed to rub off on everyone else. It was gone last night.

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted February 23, 2018 The problem is biyombo was really bad defensively last night. Like terrible. Worst game from him this season probably. I wonder whats up with that. He was good lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first 10 minutes or so of last nights game looked almost like the all-star game in terms of defensive intensity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Game gets clunky when you're going mack- Fournier/afflalo-iwundu- hezonja - biyombo. Or maybe we're overthinking things and the team just had issues incorporating the guys back into the rotation while simultaneously dealing with being off for 8 days.

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted February 23, 2018 I mean okc blew a 23 point lead and had to come from behind against Sacramento. Cavs lost to Washington which i guess is normal. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be. Still, watching Vuch get numbers while the team plays with no defensive intensity is unfortunately not some rare phenomenon. It’s been pretty much the norm for the past five years.

Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted February 23, 2018 We reintroduced two starters and played a lot of guys last night. I’m not surprised we looked rough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
