People keep saying the magic will miss the playoffs but no one has named a realistic team that can surpass them. Every team below the magic suck as well.

And AG and Evan (also adding Vuc and Ross in this) should be upset with themselves. They have been given the full opportunity to lead this team and they can't. They just don't have the talent to do so. They have nobody to blame but themselves. I can't imagine another team given these guys a staring role on their squad. No other team would give these guys 12 to 18 shots nightly and ask them to lead their team. They are role players.


Washington is only 2.5 games back. The next 5 games for them are Memphis Bulls Knicks Cavs Bulls. We’ve got Hawks Detroit Mavs Nets Hawks.

The fantasy leagues had this:
Orlando Magic guard James Ennis has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ennis was traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to Orlando on Thursday. Head coach Steve Clifford said that Ennis could be ready to play by Monday. It's unclear how much playing time he'll receive in Orlando.

It was very strange to see him there and ready only to not be active. I'm sure there was a bunch of politics involved.

What do people make of this Clifford quote?

“If I went 0 for 8, I missed 8 wide open shots, then I’d be in there tomorrow shooting 200, 300 shots. That was Rashard Lewis. You have to know what to do to play well.”


Sounds like he's directly calling out Vuc's work ethic. Does he just have bad games then not care? I thought we ran back this squad to develop good, winning habits?

He could also be calling out AG, but his 0-6 from 3 weren't all wide open shots.

I thought that a month ago with how horrid the Wiz have been and how we've handled them but here we are imploding hard & the Wiz just 2.5 games back. And the Wiz have a real star and we are still in what seems an endless search for one.

Beal is surrounded by D leaguers and a rookie they are not making the playoffs. They traded their starting PG and just lost yesterday. The wiz will not surpass the magic.
