FINAL GAME Thread: Magic (35-46, 12-28 Away) vs Hornets (47-34, 29-11 Home) 4/13 8PM

[thelead]

Miami scored five points in the third quarter against Boston. Wow.

Wow, that Celtic team is something special. I really appreciate the fact that they refuse to tank and really played to their players strength.

They have a great coach and another team tanking for them (the Nets) for the next few years... Ainge is killing it over there.

What's up with Skiles' head? He have suspicious skin removed or did he fall headfirst?

[Rockieroads]

That game was awkward. Weird losing to a team that's pretty much trying to lose.

Rob's got some work to do if we want to sniff playoffs. I like Hezonja's & Gordon's potential. I think they can both be the real deal. See ya season Magic faithful!

Trying to lose? Why were they trying to lose?

I think the rather play the Heat than Hawks (a team they struggle with + out of cavs bracket). Hence them playing the 2nd-3rd string in the second half

The finale... Happy to see the guys fight the last few quarters after being down big early.

Well, in regards to my sig...

Patrick1978 and I have a wager. If the Magic win less than 38 games, I lose. If the Magic win 38 games or more, he loses. The loser's punishment will be decided (in a poll) by the Magic board in April.

Time to eat some crow.

Any ideas?

A-mazing.

I love that you're stepping up to the plate for this.

First things that spring to mind are:

- Patrick picks your avatar for 1 year.
- Patrick picks your sig for 1 year.
- Patrick picks your name for 1 year.
- You get Game Thread duty for all of next season.

That's about it for now. Too much?

O-Sen quote of the year:

A season that started with promise ended in the same fashion that it unraveled: with poor defense, an inefficient offense and an uneven effort.

How about make him stop posting stupid **** about his favourite targets in draft and free agency in every thread possible? Only user on my ignore list.

Another season down.

I hope we can make a few free agent signings and get a player in the draft that can help us get to the playoffs next year. Our core group of young players should all improve next year as well. I expect AG to be a beast next year, or the year after. I hope Oladipo is post-allstar break Oladipo all season next year as well.

Hope 2017 is the Magic's year!

[Last Guardian]

Thanks Magic. Would like to have ended on a positive note but thanks for the 10 win improvement. Biggest thing is that we won 10 more games, while the east got significantly better from previous years. So those 10 wins mean a little more. Hope for 10 more next season!

[OrlandoDream]

I like what I saw from AG in that last game. That was the first time I saw him with the "give me the ball and get out of my way" mentality. Better then those Jason Smith jumpers. This is going to be a huge offseason for him. AG needs to keep working on that shot. That was really the biggest difference in the game. They were making their jump shots and we weren't. Our guys (especially EP) need to get those shots going. Mario needs to become a sniper at will, AG to make those 3s, EP I never expect to be a great shooter but if he can make an occasional 3 or make that teardrop most times and the same can be expected from Dipo.

They will get better but we need more help. Trade for Jimmy Butler, sign Parsons(Batum isnt leaving), and the dream of landing Whiteside.

Anyways, not the ending we wanted for the season but there was alot of improvement and some positive signs going forward.

Those sound good to me! I'll let him decide.

Beast! AG, put in the hard work this summer! He's going to be a 16/10 player next season.

This is what I want to see next year and at high doses. AG is a mismatch nightmare. Next year he needs to demand the ball from his teammate and get in their face when he doesn't get it. He needs to start making that three ball consistently so his defenders chase him out there and then its over bc he has the speed to blow by any PF who guards him. Its your time now AG. Take over this team!

Also JT said something that I agree with(doesnt happen often). The next step for Vuc is to get some up and under moves. He doesn't get to the line anywhere as much as he should. This season he settled more for jumpers, and drives. Last year he did more work in the paint. Needs to get back to that. Start posting up more and bang in there. He has the added strength and size for it now. That plus we get to do more of the kick in and out game. I dont blame him for not doing it more since this season we did not have many great shooters.

How about the loser has to change his favorite team to the HEAT for the entire year including the playoffs? That and they have to post in one of their game threads cheering for the heat once every 5 or so games.

[ORL_on_FIRE]

It looked like he got into a fight tbh. He also had some bruising around his eye...

Anyways, love seeing AG on the break. Hopefully next season we see tons of that. He could be a guy that gets a lot of calls his way...
