They definitely have a lot of moments where they fall into bad offense, but what's scary about them is how young they are and how quickly things are coming together. If they all stay together I think in a couple of seasons they'll have a great passing game, because they all seem like good passers.

Yeah, they look horrible right now. Really forced. Trying to draw contact and just losing the ball. They look panicked.

Giannis is so damn good to watch on defense. They use him as a roaming help defender, kind of like the way we used Dwight back in the day, but he plays closer to the perimeter because he can get back to the rim faster than Dwight ever could.

Raptors were due to get one back. Their biggest strength is their resilience and that they don't fold when you expect them to. They've got good character in that regard, but bad character in that they let themselves get into a hole in the first place.

I wish our future was half as bright as the Bucks. They have drafted / traded for really great assets in Thon, Brogdon, Giannis, and even Snell to an extent.

The thing is, you can see the method behind what they're doing. Doesn't always pan out, but they know the kinds of guys they're looking for - and they eventually find them.

I just wish we'd take one small lesson from them and use Vuc how they use Monroe.

this spurs-grizz game is just too damn good. really impressed by leonard. i honestly didn't think he had this in him after some of his disappearing acts in last year's playoffs and earlier in this series.

That Spurs/Grizzles game was so good! Kawhi and Conley were both super impressive. It makes me sad to watch though, I hate that it's been so long since the Magic have made the playoffs. I want a team that's as competitive as those two are, instead we get to watch guys like Jeff Green and CJ Watson play, and watch buddy ball with our starting lineup. What a waste these past several years of "rebuilding" have been. With Martin's still in charge it's hard to be too optimistic about things, but I really hope this next GM group that comes in can get things back on track and get this team back into the playoffs.

Crazy to think Kawhli was the 15th pick in the draft. So was Giannis too. Butler was like 26th. Draymond was in the 2nd round. Stars can be found outside the top 5 if you are good at evaluating talent and you combine it with some luck too. We surely have failed at both. Whatever we have used as our base to evaluate talent has to be changed immediately.

The problem is Moose is ok with his role
Vuc is always pissed he isnt a starter and always voice.... delicate but always voice his displeasure of being benched .

Just month ago people were arguing me is Schroder better than Payton . At least we can put that to sleep.

Watching the playoffs makes it super obvious how far away the Magic are talent wise. We need a ground up rebuild
