thats what we see drafting all these offensively challenged players that are mostly defense only

I like Ross's willingness to attack off the dribble tonight when they're swarming him on the catch, but he's passed up some shots that he needs to take. That last possession, he passed up 2 good shots for a bad shot.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

what's with us force-feeding vooch when he's clearly being shut down by gasol, then going away from him when he gets it going with gasol in foul trouble???

make-a no sense.

Well, for years now management has been ignoring our need for offensive shooters and scorers, if we learn our lesson from this playoff, we’ll have shooters next season.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

Our only chance is that Fultz fully recovers.


Lol. Don’t like those chances of Fultz “shouldering” our offense.

He would be. That is why it bothers me that people say AG has potential. Siakam is true potential.

Gordon is so disappointing driving to the rim..

The only guy with superstar potential we have is Isaac

A healthy Fultz and Beal would make you guys awesome.

Oh well. Didn't get swept and no one expected this team to even make it.

Siakam is older than Gordon.

Lol, the magic need Stars for a modern offensive. Not one player is worth building around on the magic as of right now.

Do you think Siakam is going to get a similar deal to AG? We’re paying AG for a bit of potential and most his worth on his average annual salary. I’m going to guess that Siakam is going to get a max offer from everyone that has a chance to give it to him.

It's painful watching Vuc and Fournier, but at least Weltman and Hammond can finally put "evaluation" to an end.

Return to Orlando Magic
