Gamethread: Magic vs Bucks 03/14

Post #161 » by **FFBlitzace** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 1:23 am

Yeah I mean, we all understand that we'll have our good shooting nights and get the occasional win against bad/mediocre teams. What's annoying is a game like this where Vogel tryhards his ass off with veterans. Play the players that matter, and if they win, they win (Birch, for example, is one of those players, and he was a contributor in this win). But what we're doing here is pure, self destructive nonsense.

Last game of the season for me. Nothing good ever comes from watching this team. Not even talking about yet another meaningless win.

Frank is on record in saying that he believe's in karma. These are the types of idiots in charge of our franchise.

Why not put the fate of our draft pick in the hands of some mythical force in the universe rather than more ping pong balls? :dontknow:

No no no, not karma, or any kind of religious or superstitious stuff. Just that if we play the right way, some kind of power will reward us. Again, not a religious power or any kind of superstitious power. Just...a power.

How did frank's **** "karma" work out for us last year when he did the same thing and we fell back a spot in the draft. He is the most clueless coach in the NBA.

How sad is it that our actual future (Isaac/Mario) are the two starters benched during crunch time for Vets. How **** clueless is Vogel. The whole organization is a clown show.

To be fair to Vogel, he won the game. Which is what he wants to save his job.

But I love how we start winning AFTER we get eliminated. :lol:

High character vet that will play minutes over prospects struggling to get minutes - occasionally has a good game. Sounds very Magic to me. :lol:

Who complains after we lose other than Cedric and Howard Mass?

Just in case people haven’t caught on. No one wants to win. No one wants to win especially when our young “core” has nothing to do with it and Simmons, Vuc, DJ, and Mack are the most involved players.

It's the culture of the organization. When there is zero pressure on them to produce results that when they do. Same reason Elf and Vuc's stats would shoot up post all-star break when there was absolutely zero to play for. Just a bunch of cowards.

Eh, post all-star is when we also played faster in transition and played up tempo. Every year we'd be bottom 10 team in pace with the youngest players in the league, then we'd restart with a new coach who would try to put his ancient offense/defense and make our players fit to it rather than using their strengths. 90% of this is on the organization and coaching. We have had talented players here.

I complained last night, but not because we lost. It wasn't the loss that was disgusting, or even the large margin of defeat. Blowouts happen, it's whatever. Last night was disgusting because we lost by a million and accomplished nothing in the process. Just a s*** ton of shots for players who don't matter. We may cleaned house up top, but the Magic as an organization obviously still don't "get it." That's where the complaints come from.

Meanwhile over on ESPN Tatum is carrying the Celtics with no Kyrie, Smart, Horford.

Ignorance is bliss. The system is what it is. If I were a betting man I would say the magic land between 6-10 in the draft with the upcoming schedule.

Bucks without Giannis would be trash. Hurts that Brogdan has been out for awhile as well. 1st Guard off the bench is washed up Jason Terry..
