Regular Season Game 28: Orlando Magic (12-15) at Denver Nuggets (17-8) - 9pm ET

[swarlesbarkley]

Yeah those silly refs must be the reason we are 1-13 against teams who are over .500.

Where did I say that? That's just so disingenuous. But these are all things people say to believe that the NBA isn't corrupt. Keep thinking it all you want. This league is a business. They will make money, no matter what it takes.

In what world does the NBA want to ensure the Denver Nuggets beat the Orlando Magic in a game in mid-December? I mean, sure if it were LA or Boston, maybe I could understand the feeling that it's a conspiracy, but not small market vs small market in the middle of the season. I'm sure you'll say "that's exactly what they want you to think!"

[The Real Dalic]

Ticky tack call. Like clockwork.

[Knightro]

I love Fultz, but playing him off the ball late in games simply isn't doing him or anyone else on the floor any favors. It's hard enough for this team to score as is, but when it's basically 4 on 5 because Fultz's man liberally helps off.

Just not a good use of the personnel.

If Vuc hit his shots we wouldn’t have to worry about the refs

[Def Swami]

The Orlando Magic need to go get themselves a Jamal Murray.

[GameOver25]

Everything is just so rushed with Vucevic. Like no one is near him on that last 3PT attempt and no one is really even running at him and he still rushes his motion and misses badly.

I don't understand his panic to get the ball out of his hands so quickly on his shot attempts.

I said this awhile back. He plays hot potato with himself for no reason.

[Mauro Pedrosa]

Vuc can't hit ****

[swarlesbarkley]

Vuc just shouldn't touch the ball if we're within 5 points under 5 minutes against a good team. Yeeesh.

Fultz at SG has been driving me nuts all season. It’s the reason why he and Simmons never worked.

[SOUL]

This team isn't even worth arguing about.

For some reason, people actually like fat boy and for some reason think he's a top 10 player. So people wanna see him succeed. Giving him a win in December gives them a better chance at a high seed and a better chance to get to the second round. These things add up.

The Orlando Magic need to go get themselves a Jamal Murray.

Why? So he can watch Evan and Vuc run the offense?

[Optimus_Steel]

Magic getting technical fouls left and right, maybe, if you played better and had cojones you wouldn't be frustrated into getting techs.

[MagicStarwipe]

Jrue Holiday will fix everything.

[Def Swami]

They've gotten like maybe 7 offensive rebounds and scores off those extra possessions this quarter.

[Mauro Pedrosa]

Jokic sonned Vucevic

[TheGlyde]

For anyone keeping score, When Isaac went to the bench with his 4th PF, we were up 17 (69-52).

[GameOver25]

Vuc just can't help himself. He wants the Vuc debates to never come to an end.

[The Real Dalic]

Ticky tack call. Like clockwork.

Sure, but if the refs never put themselves into this game and gave Denver the game, we don't even need Vuc or anyone to hit their shots. We were up comfortably and all of the sudden, the refs changed the way they called the game. At worst they forced the Nuggets to win, at best they're incompetent.

[Def Swami]

The Orlando Magic need to go get themselves a Jamal Murray.

Why? So he can watch Evan and Vuc run the offense?

This team has never had good enough offensive players to take the ball out of their hands. It's the sad reality.
