Man the Bulls really do suck. Zach Lavine scored 2 points. 2.

The real issue to me is that we were the only team who didn't get to play on the final day of group play. So we'd done all we could but the Celtics for example knew what they needed to do going into today (win and run up the score). That's an advantage. 

Hoping this disappointment doesn't stop the team from keeping on rolling.

How did the Knick’s make it in but not the Magic?

They had the best point differential out of all Eastern 2nd placed teams.

The Suns had that but in the West.

All 3 group winners from each conference advance, plus the best 2nd placed teams.

yeah really unfortunate for us that the Bulls were a disgrace against the Celtics.. 

We don’t have to blame us for anything. If anything it is a learning experience for the team, because we let some big leads go.. Can do that in regular games if you want, but not in a tournament with money on the line..

My hope is this only deepens the chip on our shoulder and the animosity we feel for the Celtics. Both can be used to carry us more during the season and the latter when we inevitably play them in the playoffs.

that’s actually crazy.. He had a cast on his hand.. He could have stayed conditioned.. 

Leon Goretzka, a soccer player, had the same injury.. He was out while the bone was healing. During that time he was out he was full go at conditioning training and was full go once the bone healed

I had exactly the same thought.  Nothing wrong with his legs.  To be charitable, maybe what he means is that whatever cardio he’s currently doing is still not the same as competing in a real game.

The new Dunker Spot podcast is titled "Do you believe in Magic? So possibly worth a listen.

There's also about 8 minutes of positive Magic talk on today's Lowe Post podcast.

Interesting little tidbit from that is Zach said that with a good team, lots of cap space and the Florida weather + tax situation he thinks (or people he talks to think) we might be a free agent destination.

It really doesn't matter and it would have been fun for us as fans and for the players.

But again, it really doesn't matter. Zach scoring two points is pathetic and it's really about culture. They didn't even try to put up a fight.

Holie smackers ! Magic fans you need some good positive news ??? How about your Orlando Magic jumped 6 spots and are now ranked number EIGHT in the entire NBA !

We are number one on CBS sports which really only takes in to account the current week each ranking.
