If anyone thought Evan was a good player at any point, I question that individual's basketball judgment.

Saw maybe 4-5 Magic games last year (cause I love Gordon). Must have been the games where had good games.

I saw Tracy Murray drop 50, must have missed him in all the Allstar games.

He is good as a catch and shoot or drive guy like he was last year. This year Vogel is forcing him to be a playmaker and he just can't do it. Ross will probably take on more of that role moving forward if he keeps making good passes.

I'll be damned if I sit here and let you trash talk Tracy Murray. That guy was a solid member of our team.

Mario touched ball once in 3rd quarter. SMH.

Vuc just watching the mascots dunk contest during the timeout.

It's cool when DJ gets hot, but holy crap is it annoying watching him pound the air out of the ball possession after possession.

Aaron Gordon at SF killed this team offensively and it trickled down to the defense.

Tonight has been nice.

Been saying it all year. I was a little enthusiastic and wanted Mario starting at SF, but besides that, this is what I have been waiting to see.

Ross is a great fit. We can run small this year and forge an identity. Than we will have the cap space to sign some guys who fill a need and draft the BPAs.

So have I and I also wanted Mario at SF.

Definitely agreed on Ross and last year, Fournier and Hezonja both played better when one or both were on the floor or Oladipo was on the floor with one of them.

It's great to have a true 2 and 3 on the court together again.

Ross's jumper is JUST off. That's 2-3 buckets that have just rolled out.

Get Napier off the damn court!

Love how no one cares enough to run at Jeff Green on that open 3.

Evan is just playing a role that he is not suited for. We are using him as a 1st option and it doesn't work. He would be a really awesome 3rd option.

Lol Ross is not shy on those pullups. He's going to have some big games when he catches fire.

He has that 50 point potential. He just needs a coach that will keep giving him the ball.

Portland looks like a trainwreck. What happened to them?

Really awesome? Nah. He'd be good as a 18-20 minute bench guy.

I'd question yours as well for making such an extreme statement.

You are talking about a guy who shot 40% from 3 last year.
