fan for too long 2 567 Report post Posted February 7 17 minutes ago, MagicOne said: We are shooting 39 percent tonight and have only made 3 three-pointers thus far. But good shooting is not what is needed to win basketball games. It is all about having the upside and potential. And being patient while evaluating all of that potential. Losing isn't all that bad either. It gives you an opportunity to take a look at the film and to see where you can get better. Eventually shots will begin to fall. And if they don't, then that's ok too. Good shooting is not important. Evaluating talent is. If I could I would up vote this 100x. The sarcasm is so sweet. Bravo!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrueMagicFan07 688 Report post Posted February 7 Okay, I'm going to be the "devil's advocate." Maybe the Magic are struggling because of the altitude. Quote Denver is called the “Mile High City” because it is 5,280 feet (1 mile) above sea- level. The high altitude of Colorado makes it harder for an athlete's blood to deliver oxygen to working muscles and the brain. There you go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrueMagicFan07 688 Report post Posted February 7 We are missing wide open shots while Denver is making a bunch. Oh, oh Denver just went deep into their bench and is still 30 pts ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagicOne 138 Report post Posted February 7 The silver lining is that we play in the eastern conference. 35 wins may be enough to get into the play in. However, the way we are playing right now I think that 35 wins might not happen. I think we could be looking at a 32 or 33 -win season at best and another lottery finish. I hope that I am wrong here. I really do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicOne 138 Report post Posted February 7 A lot of teams made deals at the deadline, and it seems to have created a spark and improved their level of play. I heard that the Cavs acquired DeAndre Hunter from the Hawks. He is averaging about 19 ppg and shooting 39 percent from downtown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagicOne 138 Report post Posted February 7 The Notre Dame college football team has a banner hanging on the wall that they pass by after running down the steps as they make their way onto the football field. It reads "Play Like A Champion Today". In other news, the Magic have a banner that hangs from the wall leading out onto the basketball court. And it says "It's A Make Or Miss League, Keep Shooting Until They Go In". 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
