It might matter to ownership. The Devos family is staunchly "conservative" & "family values" oriented, so having a high profile player that's openly gay on the team may not sit well (which makes me wonder what kind of conversations occurred when Amaechi came out of the closet).

Reminds me, That actually kinda happened to me. Some kid bounced the ball off my head trying to be all And1 or whatever so I punched him square in his mouth. It was great.

That happened to me once, but there were 30 Chaldeans and only 1 of me. So, I did what I had to do which is show em all up on the basketball court. I pulled out one of my rare Jordanesque performances of my life.

Its just disrespectful. This isn't an And1 tourney so really you're just throwing the ball at someones' face. Not me sir.

After the guy did that to me, he stood there waiting for me to do something but I am not about to fight 30 Iraqi's up in Detroit. After beating them in the game, I took my ball and left. Afterwards, every time I saw one around town (one owned a Subway), they would get a big smile and tell me I was a great basketball player. I guess I earned their respect.

Hopefully Aaron comes out with even more confidence next year. If he has a game like this.....

...sometime in the beginning of next year I think AG will be a superstar. Blake had 44 and put on a dunking clinic, it was his coming out party. Regardless if AG becomes an All-Star or not, I'm happy to have him on the team he will be a good player and easy to cheer for.

The Magic have an official vine. Just Google "vine orlando magic" and you'll see all the night's highlights.

Too bad they lost.

Or maybe ownership found out when he played for Orlando. The Magic really shafted Amaechi.

Lol that's pretty funny that he got that he was gay because he was on the Ellen show lol. I'm not even trying to be a cackling idiot. It's almost like when you're hanging with your friends and you do something so normal, but isn't considered masculine. "Ahhh, why are you putting on your chap stick like that... Gayyy!" I just thought it was funny. As long as he puts up 20/10, I'd be cool if he was gay. Maybe he is, I doubt it though. But it almost so

Crazy, but I have the Magic app but I can't see a darn video where he answers Twitter questions. All I can see are game-related.
Btw guys, I have been following your team around January. I also like the Bucks a little, though I mainly follow the Wolves and the Spurs.

Since AG became a starter (the last 15 games), let's look at his impact on the rim protection.

Player - Pre AG (DFG%) - Post AG (DFG%)

Vuc - 52.6% - 52.9%
AG - 48.8% - 51.3%
Fournier - 58.2% - 43.5%
Dipo - 53.6% - 45.7%
Elf - 64.0% - 46.2%

Smith - 53.2% - 70.2%
Ilyasova - 59.3% - 68.2%
Hezonja - 65.8% - 66.7%
Jennings - 71.4% - 71.4%
Watson - 69.6% - 60%

Harris - 51% - 56.6%

Seems like AG's increased role has happened at the same time as our perimeter defense improving dramatically over the same period. Our defense in the middle still seems about the same though.

bump....we've come a long way about AG....some were right about him all along, some came around and some were just flat out hating

I'll bet he'll start playing well again if we would just put him pf again where he can use his quickness and mobility offensively against bigger guys.

Ibaka, Green, Hezonja and a future 1st for a competent starting-SF, such as the Wizard's Potter Jr. ?

Orlando's starting five: Payton/Fournier/Porter Jr./Gordon/Vučević

Full depth chart:
Payton/Augustin/Watson
Fournier/Meeks/Wilcox
Porter Jr./to-be-filled
Gordon/Rudež/Onuaku
Vučević/Biyombo/Zimmerman
(+ Wizards fillers).

Something must change at the SF slot. And right now. Orlando must find scoring at the SF. This team will never win until scoring is found. So why not find it now ???/
