MagicOne 119 Report post Posted April 17, 2019 If we were down 2 games in this series it would be an entirely different situation right now. Thankfully it is an even series. We go home now and take care of business. Perhaps we needed this to serve as a wakeup call. Speaking of wakeup call..someone tell Vooch the series started and we're headed back to Orlando for game 3.

There are superstars that just can’t play against certain teams/players. He’s definitely been crappy these first two games but having said that we would’ve never gotten here without him. Not an endorsement, just food for thought. Playing the what if game with a soon to be highly paid center is not the smartest of ideas. Either he can or can't.

Magicfan1987 266 Report post Posted April 17, 2019 If vuc doesnt Step up in the playoffs that's all our championship focused front office needs to justify low balling him and not bringing him back. Not healthy to overpay for regular season players. We need playoff players long run Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And he has at least three more games to give us an indication of that. Don’t be so disrespectful even if I agree he’s played poorly. Someone called him a “mental midget”. The latter being an offensive term. We are 1-1 with two home games. It sucks that we got destroyed but try to show decorum. We’re all above being nasty fans. I really get it man, and not trying to single you out. I’ve been rude about Evan in the past and it’s honestly uncalled for. Let’s be better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Originalticketholder 133 Report post Posted April 17, 2019 1 minute ago, MagicOne said: Leonard seemed overcome with tremendous emotion during that interview. Really not a surprise after Raptors lose game one on their home court. Playoff basketball about game to game adjustments and this one favored Toronto and they executed. They brought the type of energy needed and something we need to learn and bring to the next game. We should come out angry and aggressive on our bhome court. If not this series will be over because their energy level has been greater than ours. Good news is home court is usually worth a 1/2 to 1 energy level over the other team. If Toronto does not bring tonight's level to game 3 they will go down. Easy solution but not always easy to execute. This is what Clifford gets paid for. Find the right buttons to push, challenge his players to dig deep and not accept a loss like tonight ever again...we need to have a chip on our shoulder for game 3...push, shove, fight...no easy baskets. We can get to 3-1 but only if we outfight them, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicOne 119 Report post Posted April 17, 2019 I think one thing we can all agree upon here is that without Vooch during the regular season the Magic are on vacation right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We’ve come so far and we’ve overachieved every realistic expectation this year. No point in bailing on our boys now. However, we all knew going in to this postseason Vooch would either show he’s worth the money he’s gonna command or he’s wouldn’t and he’s off to a dreadful start. I’m excited to see how he plays at home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I could tell Coach Biff what plays Toronto is gonna run in game 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~O~ 565 Report post Posted April 17, 2019 Personally, I don't think he'll show up in at home and his given no indication of showing up. He's had time to make the adjustment before and after game 1. He hasn't done it. There's more than enough tape to work on your flaws. Next game..we'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
