They were just bad those years...LOL.

Ok, years of trying to compete after they lost Durant they tanked 2 years. We tanked for a decade.

However, i'm willing to concede your a little correct. Still, i think people the last two years wanted us to play down the last month for a slightly better pick are crazy.

This game is confusing. Two 6 foot 8 guys who can hit the 3 ball would be very useful to the Magic, even if they can't do anything else. Are we seeing them being misused or do the 1% play well against scrubs. Bonus points if we all know who i'm talking about.

 

Edit. The 1% are NBA players, you have to be real good to get in the league but you can still suck on a daily basis.

 

Super double edit. It sucks that this forum knew that Queen was our best shooter, yeah i get he can't guard anyone. Still......no way to have used him correctly when half our roster was hurt 3 months ago?

I was a T Queen fan when he was getting minutes earlier this season, and happy to still drive that bandwagon. That boy good!

Hawks clinch the 8 seed, so expect everybody on both teams to sit on Sunday, and we’ll play them again in the play-in Tuesday in Orlando

I don't know about sitting the main guys out. I may give them at least some limited minutes so they can keep a little bit of a rhythm going into the play-in game. If we sit everyone again that would mean they wouldn't have played for almost a week heading into the game on Tuesday night. I would also keep the game plan pretty generic and don't allow the Hawks to see the main plays that will be run in the play-in game. Although rest is important now to allow some nagging injuries to heal. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Shout out to TQ for his career high 25 tonight!

The Osceola Magic will face the Stockton Kings this Monday night at home in game 3 of the NBA G League Championship. The series is tied at one game each. The winner of this game will win the championship. GO MAGIC!

That was a little palate cleanse of a basketball game. No stakes. No worries. And our bench guys blew out the other playoff teams bench guys. That's kind of the power of the defensive identity Mose has built, doesn't matter who plays you'll get stops. Also I do think that the unit with Goga/TDS/Caleb/Gary/CoJo had low-key tremendous spacing and that helped them absolutely cook. 

Side note: remember when Ben Mathurin was getting held up as on Paolo's level as a rookie and now he's part of a group getting blown out by Trevelin Queen and co? That's kind of wild.

Also I'm sad Queen can't be eligible for the playoffs. Not that I'd want him to play but if you need a spark or have an injury he always plays with energy.

[Luke_FfS 293]

Why he can't be eligible?

We should have rested Old Cory too, he's actually the key man for us right now! (Notice that Cole was not even starting this game, after playing with all the starters in the worst stretch of our season. Hello Coaching Staff)
