Gamethread: Magic vs Cavaliers 02/06

[NavalAviator94]

I haven't had a ton of nice things to say about EP lately, but the dude had 8 assists and 2 turnovers in 23 minutes. Isaiah Thomas had 8 assists in 30.

Don’t be fooled be his annual fools gold like play. He’s a good backup but a bum as a starter.

Has had basically the same stats the entire year

Then let’s not tempt history during the second half.

Holly crap, we probably win this one too.

Damn, last two wins were to be expected. Now we got to be serious about collecting those ping pong balls.

Higher FG%, total domination on the boards, less TOs, defended the 3-ball: wow what a performance.

Orlando's backcourt offense and defense was superb.

F**k the tank. Go magic

Couldn't care less if we pick 10th

[Statlanta]

The Cavs performance was so bad they doubled this thread after the 3rd quarter.

Did those two GS games break their will because that team is in clear IDGAF mode right now.

[Patrick1978]

I hope that simmons,birch and iwundu will be here for a long time.i like their game and they play with toughness

The trade deadline is before the next game.

If the Magic trade Payton and Biyombo for Noah, as rumored, the Magic will indeed be more awful.

I'm done. I'm done with this team. I'm done with the morons that run this team and organization from top to bottom. They are going to screw the tank again. We are going to end up with the 11th pick and Miles Bridges. Another tweener project. AG and even eventually Isaac will be traded, only to blossom with new team. We are never going to get out of this hole.

We have become the Cleveland Browns of the NBA. We are going to go thru 20 Quarterbacks and a dozen GMs and Coaches the next twenty years. At that point DeVos will be 111 and still screaming playoffs now. A year after he passes, the family sells the team and the new Owner moves the team to a different City. The City of Orlando has nothing to show for it. In 30-40 years nobody will even remember the Orlando Magic.





I have been a fan since 1989. I deserve better than this product.

That was a highly enjoyable game and win. Now let's lose to Atlanta

[Mauro Pedrosa]

Btw, Augustin the SG >>>>> Augustin the PG

[paperboymafia]

It's really typical that we start winning games unexpectedly when more or less everyone (even many who hate the tanking idea like myself) was on board with letting the rest of the season be poor as to get the highest draft pick possible.

[Mauro Pedrosa]

This team is playing a nice brand of basketball and they're playing for each other. Even former ballhogs (Fournier and Augustin) are sharing the ball a lot and making the right play. I see us winning way more games than expected from now on and finish at around 8th-11th worst in the league.

It is what it is, I'll start watching some Sexton highlights very soon lol. I want a high pick but it's also nice to see this team play with energy and I'm really thankful that we don't get to watch Vucevic mope around anymore.

[Optimus_Steel]

Cle is ****....

I thought everyone around the league was overreacting about their recent struggles but no they were right, they are in serious trouble. How do you get blown out against us after being up 16 at half? Never should of traded Irving.

Irving was going to sit out if they didn't.

He was bluffing, no way he would sit out. They should have called the bluff or made a better trade.

What effect missing Payton and Biyombo in lineup shall have on our winning percentage? More DJ/Mack and Birch.

We are not going to pick that low (11th), this team is too far gone down the deep end to get back up there. We had a stretch of like 3 wins in 30 games so that is not going to continue all year. Also, more blame goes to CLE, they were up 21 and end up getting blown out? 9 4th quarter points? That team is burning.

Don't be so sure. If they don't trade Vuc, Fournier and a few others, this team will win more game when Vuc, JI and Ross return.

[DiplomaticMagic]

I worked a double yesterday and fell asleep around the time Cavs were up by 20. I woke up hearing David Steele saying "The crowd is going crazy!" I look at the score, and see it's still a blowout, and I try to go back to sleep. I look at the score again 2 mins later, and see it's the Magic blowing them out. I literally yelled out WTF?!

I guess the good is that our guys raised our trade value?

Happy for Simms, love him and think hes a perfect 6th man.

[npiper17]

I accept it’s not good for the tank but I can’t help but raise a wry smile as the Cleveland ‘fans’ in the stand weep into their beer whilst googling Lebron free agent destinations so they’re ready to ‘support’ their next team from birth.
