he is really bad defensively he let Dre bully him in the post all game

And offensively, he doesn't like to draw contact. Soft.

It's really hard to want to tank when the future is looking better lately. We're gonna be sad if we miss out on Justise Winslow by one or two slots we could have had, though. That dude is a PLAYER. He's definitely the best of the non top 4, and may be better than that.

Its all good theres plenty of talent in the draft we have our core we just need shooters and defensive players


Seriously though reggie jackson was a huge steal. We won 5 of last 6 without greg monroe. That must mean greg was a weak link bc when greg played we lost 10 straight. Ouch

Nice to see us pull out the W even with KCP struggling so bad. Prince and Jackson looked great!

KCP struggled with his jumper, and got no love on his drives from the refs. There were several times I was thinking "How's that not a foul?"

I want to give Drummond some props for his effort. It seems to me he's playing a little less aggressively as the only real big and not wanting to get into foul trouble. 16 and 9 isn't a great statistical night for him, but there were several occasions where he actually blocked out and/or tipped a ball out to a teammate. That was good to see.

WTF KCP 4 of 20? :lol:

Anyway love seeing Reggie tear it up. The problem is his price just keeps going up.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Why wouldnt they like him ? He didnt leave the fan base on bad terms,he was forced out by dwight,also after he left,they went into a downward spiral.99% of magic fans have nothing but good things to say and constantly comment about wanting him back.

I thought that too, but from reading their game thread and them saying "typical Stan" after us putting RJ in to try and get his trip dub. I thought they were saying it in a bad way

That's what you call being salty after a loss. It's common for coaches to leave guys in to complete great individual feats. In Melo's 62 point game the result was already more or less decided before he even got to 50. Same for LeBron's 61, where it was a blowout well before the 4th quarter and before he got to 50.
