I’m still a die hard Magic fan but it’s obvious this team and management isn’t cutting it. I just don’t get how you can’t be frustrated after all this time. If we had a sense of direction and made some serious moves I would understand. But our lack of direction right now is akin to the ibaka year. Next year looks to be even worse with the East looking to get better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next year looks to be even worse with the East looking to get better. Exactly this! There’s no way you can justify this regression without blaming the ones who are in charge of this long asssss rebuild. They can’t even get free agent signings right what makes us think they will draft correctly besides making that JI pick? There’s no direction and our go to player that gets paid 100 million over the next 4 years is everything we don’t need from a center yet we kept him here for 4 more years. I also don’t wanna hear it’s a good contract and we can trade him because nobody wants a center who got shut down by Marc Gasol in the playoffs. That should have been the writing on the wall for Vuc on this team but apparently we enjoy this type of Medicore play night in and out. I’ve never been as frustrated with a Magic team than this one the last few years. We keep making moves that make no sense and don’t address any of our glaring problems which are shooting and rim protection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Franchero MVP 391 Report post Posted February 22, 2020 I hate to say it but not making the playoffs may be the best thing to happen to us for the sake of our future It might finally put the FO on the hot seat, forcing them to change this team up. I’m afraid if we make it we’re gonna try to run it back yet again and resign Fournier to a stupid contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ML6 520 Report post Posted February 22, 2020 So who did Kleber roast yesterday? Vooch or Bamba? Both? Didn't see the game. Edit: Nevermind, just watched his highlights. Our PnR defense is just utter trash. Gets eviscerated by Maxi Kleber. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really thought we’d take that extra step after we made it last year and that our guys would be hungry enough to go a step further. But now I see that concept is just crap. Without real talent and real fit, this team is going nowhere with or without making the playoffs again. I say it’s more detrimental to make it this year than anything else.

All Eyes On Me 1,210 Report post Posted February 22, 2020 Though I agree that missing the playoffs could be better because it could force managements hand to move on from Vooch/Ross, I just don’t see anyway we get caught. Nobody behind us has any interest in catching us and our schedule is too easy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
