We are playing for the future. Gotta keep that in mind.

am i reading this score right? wasn't it like a 2 point game at the half?

I'm not mad about losing. I just wish I had some idea what Vaughn was thinking. I haven't known for some time now. I mean yeah, we're getting the ping pong balls, but we'd be getting those regardless. We're not going to win a load of games no matter what we do. But I mean...Ayon, McRoberts...4 guards...BBD checking back in late in a blowout game which has seen him go 4-16.

WTF.

Arron Afflalo ‏@arronafflalo
you asked for it ... you say you want it ... opportunity is here ... go get it

Sounds like its directed at JJ to me. Speaks of an "oppourtunity" on the night JJ starts for the first time in a long time. Either way, he sounds bitter about something...

Did you expect this team to be better? We're on pace to win ~29 games. This is who we are. Maybe not as bad as the current stretch, but still bad.

Man at this point i'm hoping, praying for a trade. There is no playoff push that is done what i want to see is us moving on with the plan and cutting the fat so to speak would be a great start

Basketball can't get any uglier than this.

If he was then JJ went out and got it. We will find out soon I guess. Afflalo is coming across as a whiner and we don't need another one of those after Howard.

Yeah it could. We could have 4 future hall of famers but still have a similar record :wink:

Afflalo is nothing like Howard in personality.

Time to just go ahead and go full tank. Make deals and play the young guys.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions about Afflalo. That tweet could also be talking about himself. His following tweet makes me think he was trying to involve other guys more.

Arron Afflalo ‏@arronafflalo
greatness in yourself lies in how great you make others ....

He had 5 assists and 9 rebounds.

My thinking is that JJ is getting annoyed at not being the starting SG, and has started to voice it more since the team is not winning. And as we have seen today, JJ has been given his "oppourtunity" to prove he deserves it over Afflalo. Afflalo clearly got his panties in a twist over it too...

Rough 3rd quarter leads to a Magic Loss.
