Can this pepe1991 guy banned please?
I cannot believe this guy is a Magic fan

Really'? Sorry not all fans are stupid enough to enjoy mediocrity on 19-30 team where 30 years old scrubs are running wild and where young guys are buried on bench or play backups for Jeff Green.

This team MUST tank because they have no talent in present and nothing to hope for in future if they don't make something of this 2017 draft pick .

What's endgame of this CJ-DJ-Green core team? Will you ever compete for playoffs with 3 of them logging 30 mpg? Will team resign Ibaka on crazy money and will it signal end of Gordon with Magic? He is NOT SF and because of 28 years old Ibaka that is average player his development will be ruined or he will ask to leave ?!

This team does everything wrong. They had 40 games to prove they can compete for playoffs, and they fall 11 games behind .500. Now, when it's clear that it's time to tank, clean a house and start over their coach decided to bench Hezonja, pull Gordon out for Green, play 8 men rotation and "grind" to wins? Don't you see it? IT's 2013-14 all over agian. Remember wins from Nelson, Afflalo and Fat Baby? They all played 30 min and because of some wins that literally NOBODY can remember this team didn't end up with Embiid but Gordon.

Why will i root for wins at this stage? Will they make playoffs? They will never pass Hornets, Knicks, Bulls AND Bucks to get there. HOWEVER, being only 3,4 wins behind bottom of the league could help Magic get top 5 pick in really,really talented draft. But Magic will find a way how win enough games, just to hurt their draft stock and still have no hopes for playoffs. SO yea. enjoy wins lead by 30 min from Jeff Green and DJ Augustin. I simply can't.

It's kind of frustrating playing the Raptors because of the style that Lowry and Derozan play. They constantly jump into players hoping to get a foul, when nearly every possession they offensively foul the defenders. Both of them push off nearly every play to create space or get open for a pass. Then the way the whole team complained, wow.

Did not get to watch this game live because I was at the Royal Rumble but caught up and watched it today. I thought Vuc played outstanding on both ends and Elfrid continues to show improvement on the offensive end with getting to the paint at will and just running the offense in general. AG did a wonderful job on Derozan. His next evolution on defense is being able to be in better positions off the ball. Vogel did put together a solid game plan on defending both Derozan and Lowry for the most part and we were able to survive the parade of FTs Toronto was getting in the 2nd half.

Our bench played well although I am not a fan of the rotation we played out there. Despite that, I give credit where it is due and will give it to Jeff and D.J. I am going to enjoy this win only for the simple fact that I cannot stand the Toronto Raptors. The future of this team is the most important goal though. Hope Rob and upper management does not lose sight of this while he is still with the Magic.
