There is a cancer on this team that needs gone. Not hard to figure out. It's hard to develop that kind of personality when all the fans are pushing for the team to lose as much as possible to get higher draft picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We shouldn't be worried. This isn't some dramatic flaw being exposed. It's that teams caught up to our tendencies so we need to adjust them. Vucevic has a high usage. Higher than Beal and doncic. You pair that usage with 2.8 assists per game in December and 43/31 shooting splits over the past 6 games and this is what you get 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

South_Aussie_Magic 90 Report post Posted December 24, 2018 I know they said they're going to build this thing the right way and not the quick way but if they haven't figured out now that this situation is untenable... well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,420 Report post Posted December 24, 2018 Most insane statistic of the night: Our point guards had a total of 3 assists (versus 5 turnovers). WHAT IN THE WORLD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicOne 119 Report post Posted December 24, 2018 Average margin of defeat in this 3 game losing streak is 24 points. Ouch! Phoenix, Toronto, Detroit, and Charlotte coming up. This will eventually be a 7 game losing streak after the Charlotte game. No heart. No hustle. No chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagicOne 119 Report post Posted December 24, 2018 Pat Riley AND Phil Jackson could coach this team and they would still win 26 games a season. Victor is thriving in Indiana. Tobias is getting it done out in LA. Both of those teams are high up in the playoff standings. They let winning players with tremendous work ethic and leadership leave. And they keep these bunch of misfits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How can you watch this team, knowing it's December-January history the past few years, and not be worried? A Heat team we beat by 15 a few weeks ago just beat us pretty easily in our own building. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did the players become different players for the first 24 games? I agree they're trending back but there's adjustments to be made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicOne 119 Report post Posted December 24, 2018 It's official. Even Cliff is whipped now. Instead of lashing out and telling it like it is he is starting to sound like Vogel, Vaughn, etc. This time of the year the tanking commences. Next please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
