You say this like they've accomplished something already.

Losing in the first round of the eastern conference in back to back years isnt a huge accomplishment.

Not yet. But they are better players than anyone in the Vuc era. And if we can get a new FO that can actually build around them, we can reap the reward. If this FO continue to do what they do, then we get to watch Franz and Paolo thrive in whatever new teams they will be on.

Ty Jerome has been awful through two games of this EC semifinal.

AG brought nephews to the post-game. His brother died in a car crash.

Nesmith - incredibly clutch putback dunk on a FT miss and he started on the perimeter. Great moment.

We lost the same way to Boston when we were the dominant team in the conference.

Man the pacers are getting so lucky playing all these injured teams last playoffs and now these playoffs. 2 free rides to the ecf... Why can't the magic get luck like that?

are we getting cold feet or are we thinking that we can get a discount? Personally, I'm a bit concerned but we'll see how the rest of this series goes.

because they have an active FO and we don't

we are so far away from these teams offensively. I just can't see how we would consistently hit shots to keep up with these teams... which is why they're on vacation already :lol:

True but that doesn't really help with the injured teams they are playing. We play the cavs last season missing garland, mobley & hunter in Cleveland the magic most likely win as well.

The Pacers can just as easily get injured.

Eh. We match up against the Pacers well. Pushed Boston in most games even with way worse offense.. actually gave me hope that if we can play solid defense as always and just add A LITTLE more (and get Suggs/Moe back) then it'll be enough. Paolo and Franz have to keep progressing as offensive hubs as they age though.
