People aren't gonna like to hear it but this is 1 and a 1/2 games so far now where elfrid has returned to being timid on the offensive end. Honestly I do not understand it because he was doing so well.

You can't tell me you're trying to make the playoffs and then limit the people who actually helps you get to em. This is nothing but a tank job.

JV is such a bad coach, Marble started, played the first 5 minutes and didnt return, AG played well for 6 minutes and didnt return, Oladipo came in late in the first quarter, turned the ball over and immediately benched for Luke.
Does he understand what he is doing to young players' confidence when he mess with their minutes like that? He doesnt believe in buliding chemistry between units? its like every game the rotation change completely and every time someone miss an assigment or make a mistake he could get benched for the rest of the half, how can anyone play with confidence under these circumstances?
Payton has been really inconsistent on offense, he had many games where he wasnt even trying to make plays and it really seems like a confidence issue, I dont understand how an NBA coach can just ignore these things and change his rotations every single game.

yup... but we could honestly use the talent. We have enough talent to make the playoffs in the east but I'm not sure that's what Henny sold to RDV.

Woj is the new Bucher. Shams is the new Woj. Espn is the new TMZ. The NBA is the new WWE.

Frye won't even put a hand up on defense. Just refuses.

I hate Frye's game so much. A big ass 7 footer who can only shoot threes. That makes no damn sense someone gets paid millions for that one attribute.

Don't really see the need for him and don't like him as much as a few others anyway.

Aaron Gordon had 6 amazingly productive minutes where he basically took over the game. We were leading then. Just watch that.

Feel like Vic could have gotten to the rim like this during the first half

At Orlando City media day today the players, coach and team president were all like "hell yeah we're trying to make the playoffs this year," in their first season. It was refreshing. Year 3 of the Hennigan/Vaughn regime, and they still won't say that is a goal. Mike Bianchi asked Hennigan flat-out at the beginning of the year if the goal this season was to win and make the playoffs, and he refused to say it. Freaking joke. And yet, we watch.
