Serious question: If Boston gets bounced early in the playoffs, do they fire Brad Stevens? Do we then target him? 
 

I am fine with the job Cliff has done, but I’m not sure he’s the *right* coach for a young team. If we have the chance to upgrade there, sign me up.

100% yes and without even thinking it twice. Then you keep Cliff as defensive coordinator, same salary so he doesn't feel bad, and you've a stew going! :P

Haven't watched the last two games. May not bother with the next few either before the end of the season. God I hope this was all worth it.

Share your concerns, and agree these games are mostly not worth watching.

  Yes we all obviously love the Magic, and love to post. However our season is winding down. Hope we can all focus on the playoffs for a month instead of non productive Magic speculation. After the season ends next week, the only big thing before the Lottery is If Clifford stays or goes.  Let's get a good thread going about the postseason next week.

I can't wait to see posts about how awesome our #1 and #8 picks are doing in summer league and camp.

Shame on most of you. All I've been hearing is "I/we want the Magic to lose", and because they have been losing some of you say you will not watch the remaining games.

Well, Martin Lawrence's character "NeNe" has this to say about walking away. . .

Serious question:

Could someone please make a list of NBA players who were a top 5 pick in the draft (the past maybe 10 yrs.?) who have made a major impact on the team that drafted them.

On the other hand, maybe list the ones who were top 5 picks and were a bust.

Thanks.

I continue to watch the games, and root for the Magic to play competitive basketball. As long as they play hard and compete, I think it's a positive; and while I would prefer they not win for the lottery repercussions, if it comes down to the last five minutes and they are still in it, I'm rooting my a-- off for them to pull out the win. That may seem contradictory, but that's me! I never root against them, and I'm very proud when they keep it competitive, win or lose.

Cheers! Everything you said makes sense to me, personally.    NcKWvl.png

I'm very excited about RJ Hampton and Cole Anthony. We can build something meaningful with these players. Y'all already know I stan Isaac

I only caught a little bit of clips from Wolves game, but was that Fultz commentating and talking about how excited he was to get out there and play with them? They could be a lot of fun to watch next year
