Regular Season Game 42: Orlando Magic (20-21) at Los Angeles Clippers (28-13) - 10:30pm ET

[ChosenSavior]

The loudest this **** crowd has been all night. They must've gotten something for free for two missed free throws.

[ChosenSavior]

Getting a split against these two powerhouses was the plausible scenario and we were able to do that. Clippers are already a pain to play against but playing them on a back to back is just brutal. This loss was expected. Hopefully we can bounce back and finish off this roadtrip strong against the Warriors and Hornets.

On bright side, Bamba now has 2 fathers, Biological one and Harrell

Team looked tired, we got killed in rebound

AG with ZERO rebound. Ouch

[drsd]

We’ll lose by 10+ tonight, we’re short-handed on a b2b road game against a good team. We’re gonna be gassed after last night.

You called it.

But the Magic can now be rested for the northern Cal trip. And I would think more will be known on Augustin and Carter-Williams by then.

Schedule loss. They looked gassed. Except for Mo, he just had a normal game.

Man MO is far from
Being a good player . Sucks that the magic wasted a lottery pick on a 3rd string center.

Bamba finds new ways to kick it to another gear evey game.
He menaged to be bullied by SF

A scheduled loss as expected.

After AG got so much deserved praise for his defence on LeBron, it's only fair to mention that he was dreadful defending Kawhi last night. He shot really well, on the other hand, hopefully it's not just a one off and he starts shooting better from 3.

Fultz should be forbidden from taking 3 pointers early in the shot clock, I don't care how open he is, he is being left open for a reason. He looked exhausted in the 4th quarter, not sure how many quality minutes he could give us now that we are so short on PGs.

Fournier didn't look 100% to me, almost no lift on his jumpers and most of them were atypically way short.

Vucevic continues to shoot well from 3, which we badly need.

Bamba has reverted back to playing with poor effort.

[EAS Law]

I’m glad to see that despite a pretty big loss, most people here are realistic with their criticism.

B2b, against two of the top teams in the league, with two of the best players in the league, injured... it would have been shocking to win. In any case, even if we did, we all know it wouldn’t mean much because it would be a fluke win or candidly, not a measure of the capability of the team per se.

where the vuc haters at tonight?

I’m always right here. He’s a fraud.

I keep wondering to myself, does Bamba enjoy playing basketball? Is he still feeling lingering pain? Probably both?

I’m telling y’all go back and read his scouting report. It’s spot on.
Motor Runs hot and cold - check
Shows disinterest at times - check
Doesn’t jog off the court when subbed out - check.
Lacks energy - check
Has the tools just doesn’t have the brain. No amount of working out will change any of it.

The Clips looked really good, that's basically the bottom line. They played with cohesion, anticipation and they shot the lights out. They basically toyed with an Orl team suffering a hangover after a big night for the players. We were never likely to play well enough, even before you factor in the emotional Laker win.
