2020-2021 Regular Season Game 17: Charlotte Hornets (6-9) at Orlando Magic (7-9)

I look at Hornets roster and they are all healthy. We were down 3 starters, 3-4 reserves. Basically we play 3 out of 9 and still we are as good or better than Hornets. lol. Also Anthony had better game than Ball.

i look at Bucks, Nets, Celtics, Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets, Jazz , 76ers, Mavs and figure at apsolute best, with everybody healthy, this team can win 2 playoff games instad of 0 to 1.

There is flat out no upside. Hornets/Bobcats were always considered the worst runned nba franchise. Is that team you want to be compared with?

What Hornets have and Magic don't? Well try with $50M of cap space for next year.

Don't get complains, Evan boosting trade value, 40% for 3, on pace for 20 ppg.

Hayward went nuclear.

We had no business even being in game, we were down 9 with 3:58 on the clock, than Evan makes 2 straight 3s.

Than we blow up defensive assigment and can't inbound. What a clutch L. I'm proud of this team. 8 of 9 . Streak is there.

Let's look it from positive perspective, Chade is already googling where to live in Orlando

No one complains about Evan's shooting. We complain about the constant bonehead turnovers, overdribbles, poor drives, and "poggers" defense he plays. He is one of the best shooters in the league.

He is like 4th on Magic roster in turnovers, that's far away from constant turnovers.
He shoots 75% inside 3 feet, that's flat out uber elite. Career 64% that is also average to above average.

Last play it wasn't even his mistake, it was Clark who flat out did not connect "wall" of bodies to stop Hayward. Instad of containing Hayward, Clark goes for steal ... Birch was also super late to fill paint, as he overcommited to his man.
It's one play, it happends, we had no business being in this game. We made 3 tough threes (Evan, Evan, Ross) in last 2 min. Otherwise it should be comfortable 5-10 points win by Hornets.

I don't care, Evan is going for 20 ppg, Gordon is raising his value, everything is going according to plan, raise value, trade at deadline, win top 5 pick. Good season

I can't argue with the facts, I just wish things would hurry up and happen (trade wise) as the product to watch (at least to me) is awful.

Yes I know I could stop watching the games, but damnit I love the Magic lol

I have more faith than you in our upside. All of it depends on Isaac being healthy, but i think our ceiling is high. Isaac + Vucevic is a killer frontcourt. Aminu is good starting vet, and Gordon is a nice asset. I hope we resign Fournier and move our assets for lead guard. With some luck we can be better than half of those teams in 2 years.
