Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks

There will be no tanking. Whether it's the right decision or wrong decision, that simply will not happen outside of Paolo or Franz (or both) getting hurt for the remainder of the season.

They fully intend to try and earn the 7 seed, win the first game of play in tournament, and give Boston a competitive Round 1 series.

Although chances are slim, there is still a chance to grab the 6th spot if they can lock in defensively again. As you said, whether right or wrong, there will be no tanking.

Ehhh 6 back in the loss column with only 17 to go is pretty close to insurmountable. Detroit would have to totally collapse.

Even if Detroit goes under .500 the rest of the way (8-10), Orlando would have to go 14-3, ya know?

I think we’re at the point where role players playing well is more valuable to our player acquisition efforts than tanking.

What quantifiable metric are you using?

I’m looking at odds of getting a higher pick to possibly use in a trade of to simply draft. Something to help Paolo and Franz for the foreseeable future.

Is this the “vibes” “spirit” or “friendship” metric I keep hearing about?

The team has already done considerably worse than last season and will likely do worse if they make the playoffs without listing the reasons as to why.

At the end of the day it doesn’t matter what we as fans want. But I’m not going to pretend this is a season worth saving because “vibes”.

The metric would be any metric that measures player quality. The better they play the more valuable they are. The better they play the better our team does.

Just say none.

I'm not sure what you're really saying.

I think we'll end up 9th.

Never thought I would say we need a road trip to find our mojo, so lets see I guess.

Fool gold, terrible bbiq but people will look at box score and say he played well

He score 2 pts then give away 4 but making dumb plays or defending poorly

I can't anymore with him

Unless he is our 9th man

I don't think this is the game to go on a rant about Cole.

This season enough?

Yeah, makes sense in a season thread instead of looking hurt that he had such a good game. Matter of fact he’s had a good stretch of games. But that’s Cole…. And Wendell, and JI and Black. I mean go down the list nobody’s consistent.
