Gamethread: Magic @ Bucks 04/09

[Blue_and_Whte]

Just one more game of this nightmare season and then some of the real questions can be answered. Pretty sure we'll get smashed by the Wizards on Wednesday as well.

Best case scenario TBH. Very little teams with money to begin with this summer so getting him at 18-20 on a longterm deal would be great IMO. He's been playing with G-league players and some of the worst spaced lineups ive seen the majority of the season. His shot selection has been very concerning, but when there isn't much space out there he tends to settle for jumpers.

Let us just pray that we get Doncic in the draft and have a starting lineup of Dj/Evan/Doncic/AG/Birch (or Vuc) next season. That's a situation I could see AG thriving in considering the amount of spacing it would provide. Especially playing with an elite playmaker like Doncic. Every single person on the team would benefit from it.

If we still have BOTH Vucevic and Fournier still on the roster next year, then it’s a disaster of an off-season. Buddyball ends NOW.

Buddyball AKA Running your offense through two of your best scorers like every team in the league does. I guess they all have “buddy ball” problems...

Best scorers on a team is relative. Once upon a time Terry Catledge led the Orlando Magic in scoring (1989 season). I don’t think anyone was confusing him for Charles Barkley at the time.

Best part of this season is that it's almost over and now we can actually watch some high quality basketball

Like Phoenix at Dallas, and Philly at Atlanta.

Seriously these are two critical games for Orlando. With both the Mavs and Hawks at home (and Orlando on the road the subsequent night), is there a member of this Magic board who will not follow these two games?

I was thinking about playoffs

I wasn't able to watch this game. Started on page 1 and scrolled through. I got nervous and happily realized we lost on page 5.

The Wiz look like they will be playing for a 7th seed, which is important since Kyrie is out. So this looks like a good chance of a loss for us.

Glad we lost. Now just one more painful slog of a game and we can get a break before next year's painful slog of a season.

I'm happy that I'm no longer in the minority saying Vuc sucks.

The thrill of defeat.

Even more reason to watch tonights games because Wasington has to beat Boston and Orlando tomorrow to have a chance at the 7 seed.
