Game 45: Milwaukee Bucks (20-21) @ Orlando Magic (17-27) - 7:00 PM ET

He didn't score much but last night was the best game I've seen Mario play all year. His defense was really solid and he didn't try to do too much on offense. Now Vogel just has to get him more minutes

But what to do then with development process of CJ Watson

Players have always said that about Green. Clearly he IS a talented player that just doesn't give the kind of effort necessary to contribute every night. But one of the most talented in the league? I've just never seen it. Multiple players have said it, but I think either they're just being nice or they're crazy.

Was he always like this or has he maybe not pushed as hard after open heart surgery. I wonder. I for one thought we were going to get a man playing for his contract and that he would be playing out of his mind. Oh well.

[Bergmaniac]

Green's obvious talent is what makes him so frustrating to watch, the guy just doesn't play hard 95% of the time.

Anyway, nice win at the end, good to see us playing with energy for a change. We kept the turnovers low and played excellent transition D which is key against the Bucks, they are suually a pretty bad halfcourt team on offense and showed it last night.

[MagicStarwipe]

It's not just effort with Green, it's also a lack of IQ.

Magic under Trump: 1-0.

Cmon Mario show some damn respect. That's your boss and the man who write you million dollar paycheck. The unprofessionalism in this kid is too much sometimes. I mean this is just common courtesy. Even Wilcox shook his hand. It's one thing to be confident but it's another to be a arrogant prick. Grow up Mario.

Moron do u know the reason? Maybe he did in the hall before ? Maybe he didnt notice him and he gave him hands after. It can be 100 reason, dont judge if u dont know what fking happened.

Calm your overemotional azz down. That was my observations from the footage that was given to us. Jeez did you run out of chocolate?

Come on Gordon... don't do that.... I want to take you seriously in interviews.

“When Jeff plays like that we’re a different team,” forward Aaron Gordon said. “He’s extremely talented, one of the most talented basketball players that I’ve ever been around.

Wow. There's a massive difference of opinion about Green between the fans and seemingly the players/coaches.

Maybe he looks like Kevin Durant in practice in an empty gym when players aren't going as hard and there's no pressure.

Fournier called CJ a great player the other day. I'm not sure what all these guys are smoking but Jeff Green definitely brought it.

A rare look from inside the locker room.

Mario leaving devos hanging...?

Read on Twitter

kind of what that looked like, wasn't it? if so that's cold because DeVos, whether you love him or hate him, is a class act and basically saved the NBA in Orlando.

I'm really beginning to think Mario is just an egotistical punk.

That was part of his reputation in the draft profile. The overwhelming confidence that goes with it has been replaced with frustration but you still see signs of it.

I hate the way we started the game but I love how Elf and Gordon played.

We need to find a balance where Elf and Gordon (and Mario) develop nicely with strong efforts while we still LOSE the game.

This was my first Magic game (and first NBA game in general), so happy to finally see Amway Center in person. I just missed Penny being honored (we got there at about the start of the 2nd quarter, and from what I understand, Penny was honored right before) which sucks, considering that was the reason I wanted to go lol, but overall a good time.

[Ducklett]

I can't believe we won. What are we doing?

Sarcasm or not Mario needs to start from scratch... spotting up and playing defense should be his calling card right now... Everything else should come in time...

[drsd]

When is the last time Orlando won all four quarters?
