Jay even though I did in fact correctly call this Magic loss here tonight this is not about me.

ML6 520 Report post Posted December 27, 2018 Very disheartening to hit the part of the schedule we all agreed was imperative to capitalize on and to not do that. Especially after a very promising start to the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
South_Aussie_Magic 90 Report post Posted December 27, 2018 I hated Booker during his rookie season when everyone was saying how good he was then... but god he is getting pretty efficient now. I'm finding it hard to fault him for his production. I really wanted Mario to work because of Booker's ascent. Wonder where we'd be if we had him instead.

All Eyes On Me 1,210 Report post Posted December 27, 2018 I think the most frustrating part of this team is that once again, Aaron isn’t involved in the offense at all so when he gets the ball he forces it. He’s playing his ass off every game on D and we have yet another coach who asks him to standby and watch buddy ball. Vuc shoots 20 + shots a game and Evan dribbles the ball off his foot and they’ll get the ball again next possession. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope sure don't but don't take a genius to figure out who the constant has been during these past several years. Guess that's a coincidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagicOne 119 Report post Posted December 27, 2018 The worse thing that can happen to the Magic is if they finish like 9th or 10th in the East. Or even worse would be to finish in the 8 spot and get swept in 4 games by Toronto in round one. Wouldn't it be better then to just do a full tank and stand a better chance at landing that kid from Duke ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everytime he thought about it he ended up kicking it out with the exception of that one fadeaway late Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clifford used to talk about how he needs to get him X shots a game, and that’s completely gone away. Maybe he’s been told to just give it all on the defensive end and scrap on offense, but I think he’s a better offensive player than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You end up throwing away a season for the 5th pick. You either do that from the beginning or you don't do it at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
