Gamethread: Magic vs Knicks 02/22

Not shocked Trey Burke went off. He hit a game winner against us several years ago. He is in Jannero Pargo territory.

We lost so you should all be happy

Are magic fans so picky that we want the loss.... but not just any loss.... we want them to now lose gracefully and in a certain manner??

come on now! from what i have seen no one wants us to make an attempt to win and get into the playoffs..... everyone is already hoping to buy their ayton, doncic, bagley, or jackson jesrsey next season.

I saw us winning by halftime.....was happy..... but got all kinds of tingly inside when i saw that we lost. One step closer and the tank continued.

The majority of the board here here want us to lose games because they want their Franchise Player in the draft

Yea I had him in DFS... .01% owned. Won some money last night. If I had gone with some other than Nance Jr., I'd be throwing a freakin party right now.

me too!! but can't be getting mad with everything they do. If we won... people are pissed.... we lose.... people are still pissed because we lost to the knicks. "Damned if you do.... damned if you don't".... on the other hand.... i'm happy either way. hahah... but i would be happier with a higher pick.

Vogel is taking tanking orders that is obvious. If we really wanted to try and win; the SL would be

DJ
Fournier
Mario
AG
Vuc or Birch

There is also no reason to play Biz over Birch WHATSOEVER!

There is also no reason to play Afflalo any more minutes for the rest of the year.

Simmons should not be starting in the future either. His defense has sucked, cant hit shots and is selfish most game turning it over and making bad plays.

If we had a coach with a pair who actually notices this, these moves would have been made which is why I think he is following tank orders.

No way.. Vogel is a vet coach.. he’s not going to put his career on the line to tank for a new front office that didn’t even hire him. Especially when he’s likely to get canned either this summer or the middle of next season. That’s just not how it works

If he is not following tanking orders then he needs to be fired because as I stated above, some of his decision makings is bringing back JV memories. ANy casual fan can notice that playing guys like Biz and Afflaflo makes the team worse. If he was trying to win, Birch, Iwundu, and Mario should be getting heavy rotation minutes...but they aren't.

Hate to break it to all but Frank Vogel is not a good coach. HIs resume has been largely inflated by Paul Goerge.
