ML6 520 Report post Posted April 14, 2019 I kind of disagree with Coach Nick’s “a lot of things fell into place for the Magic” comment. Really? Sure, we shot well from 3. We also shot 40% overall for the game with Vooch/Ross/AG going 8/35. Didn’t raally get any whistles. It works both ways. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~O~ 565 Report post Posted April 15, 2019 Ok. Put Siakem at Center. Watch Jonathan Isaac do something about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Van Vleet/Lowry/Green/Leonard/Siakim and we’d counter with DJ/Ross/Evan/AG/JI? Why do we need to counter?. We can keep Vooch or Birch and make them pay in the paint. You can have Vooch or Birch defend Siakam or Green in the paint and switch with JI when the player moves outside the paint. I rather have the percentage of a 2 point in the paint or Siakam foul with Vooch than an outside 3 point or outside long 2 from Siakam while Vooch is guarding him. Probability of scoring works on our favor here. In my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let them believe this was a fluke game because we got lucky instead of a wake-up call for being outplayed. I hope they believe that every time they lose. The more complacent they are, the better.

magicblue 315 Report post Posted April 15, 2019 Ha, we also had a 16 pt lead at one point so it was more than just “a lot of things falling into place”. But yeah, keep believing that coach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why change? They are the once desperate to change. Let them be. No reason to always react to other teams changes when what you have is working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
