Much like Suns fans who have been informing us that Elfrid is the 2nd coming. Who's taking advice? He's of the same opinion that I have. And who says in order to be knowledgeable and wise about basketball you can only be as long as it has to do with your own team? Some of the most ignorant opinions about the Magic have been from Magic fans. For instance, listen to the local radio at 4pm and listen to local callers.

My point is you are using the viewpoint of someone who rarely watches our players play. It doesn't carry much weight. If I were to make a statement about my make/model of car and have it supported by some lady who has test driven the same type of car once, I wouldn't tout that as some great confirmation of my point. That person probably knows a fine amount about basketball, but that doesn't change the fact that he/she likely never watches us play. He/she is forming sweeping opinions based on a limited set of evidence. Aaron has had plenty of games playing within himself while looking like a breakout star. But this guy saw one poor game and is suggesting that he needs to change teams because he's being "poisoned". The fact that this person has the same opinion as you isn't something to necessarily be proud of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AG has looked better in some games but he looks nothing like a superstar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ML6 520 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 It would be highly unusual for a random Jazz fan to watch the Magic play routinely. How often do you go out of your way to watch the Jazz play? It's just highly improbable. EDIT: Preemptive prediction -- "Actually, I watch the Jazz play all the time" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slow day at work? Hardly watch them. Your point is because I don't do something that applies to everyone else? Or that I know about Rubio and have watched him for years and I don't have an good enough opinion because I'm not a Jazz fan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magicfan1987 266 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 37 minutes ago, Magicman28 said: From a Jazz fan. Just read this a second ago. Nobody loved him more than me at the draft, but the Magic tried to turn him into Carmelo when he should have developed into the next Shawn Marion. He has no business shooting stepback mid range jumpers, but that's all he wanted to do tonight. Hopefully he can get out of Orlando without being poisoned too much. Speaking of poison, Mario has definitely been poisoned by Orlando. He didn't shoot the ball particularly well, but his talent is so obvious. Athletic, strong frame with a beautiful jumper and some ball handling ability. He competes on both ends too. I want him in a Jazz uni so badly. If we asked a Jazz fan the last two seasons if Gordon should be shooting 3 3point attempts per game they'd probably laugh at you and tell you he should live under the basket for garbage putbacks. I'm not impressed with his one game sample GMing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
