Bamba Vs. Ayton Round 1: Orlando Magic (10-12) at Phoenix Suns (4-17)

[RookieStar]

Magic win for a 2-3 West Coast Trip. This game was sloppy at the beginning against the short-handed Suns but The Magic pulled through. Would have liked 3-2 on this west coast trip though.

If only the refs called fairly in the GSW game and if only Fourney didnt play the POR game, we oculd have went 4-1

IF IF IF... *sigh*

[Knightro]

It wasn't against a good team by any stretch of the imagination, but to win by 14 on the last game of a long West Coast trip is something I'll take every time.

So sad we could have gone 4-1 on this road trip.

[InFlames]

Easy

Im content with this road trip. We competed every night (outside of Denver) against top tier teams. I think that bodes well for us going forward this season. Some real decisions are going to have to be made with this rotation though. I dont think you can justify having Evan in there over Isaac. Id move Ross and Isaac into the SL and let Evan take over that 6th man role and regain some of his confidence.

Or they could just get rid of Evan

As much as I agree with you, I would be really floored if Clifford switched his rotation anytime soon other than maybe Isaac back into the SL for Simmons.

I think he really likes Ross with the 2nd unit and doesn't want to change that.

Nobody is trading for Fournier after his play so far this year imo.. I'd rather bring him off the bench as a 6th man and boost his value than look to trade him and a 1st at the deadline for a PG.

easy win. Suns are mess.

Yeah I'm good with it too, felt like if they could come out of it around .500 it would be ok and they did. Had a chance to win at the end against two good teams only bad game was against Denver. Denver and Charlotte were the only two games this season that were blowouts I can recall maybe one or two more but that's about it.

All road wins are good wins. And a 2-3 swing is indeed very encouraging.

That this could have been a 4-1 swing is something I have neutral feelings about. In 4 games, the Magic held huge leads. In three of them, the western team came back, and Orlando lost 2 of those.

What I loved about this game is that come 4th quarter, the Magic simply pulled away.

Fournier can barely hit an open shot... he has to shave that hair and be a confident man on the court

If Grant just gets the ball past halfcourt and then watches the team play and waits for spot up shots, we should get an actual spot up shooter for that. Jamal Crawford and Troy Daniels would be better suited for that

It's nice to win one when we were pretty sloppy. Let's keep fighting for the playoffs. We need some help from Weltman and Hammond

I thought Fournier looked out of shape to start the year... I wonder if that has anything to do with it. He still kind of looks, I dunno the right word. Doughy?

I dunno, he definitely has a 6 pack at the start of those "Inside Fournier" YouTube videos or whatever they are called

How I feel about this win!
