Tank fail.
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.

SVG would be the worst coach for this team. Last thing a young team needs is a really negative coach.

Wooo, that was a fun time!

Only thing that bothered me was Afflalo...he looked very 'defendable'...hope it was just an off game for him. But if not, I have NO problem with JJ playing 40 mins a game...he looked fantastic.

I hope the lose now crowd stays the hell out of the building...and letting JJ go would be one of the stupidest things in the history of earth. Afflalo will be better than tonight but JJ is our best 2 guard and the team is a different team when he is on the floor. Great buzz in the AC tonight.

He's a FREE agent. He's free to go wherever he wants to go after this season. There will be plenty of good teams willing to pay him whatever we're willing to pay him as well. It really comes down to whether he wants to be here or not; not whether the magic want him here or not.

Yeah I'll give him the benefit of the doubt tonight. First game against his old team and was out most of the preseason he looked like he was forcing it a bit. He did play some good D and made a few plays so it wasn't a complete bust...

That was fun game to watch. Its just one game but it was so refreshing to see us playing a team game. We are not gonna be pushovers. We may not win a a lot of games but teams aren't gonna just blow us off the court.

Big Baby pretty much picked up where he left off in the playoffs last year. He was a wrecking ball tonight. I liked Vucevic alot. Surprised he didn't play much in the second half but I def see potential with him. Afflalo didnt play well but I expect better from him going forward. JJ more than picked up the slack for his tough shooting night. Nicholson looked lost. I woulda liked to have seen us try to get some plays for him to get him going though. He'll get better. McRoberts and Moore shocked me. they both were great tonight.

Too bad about Turk but honestly.. hes done. Its time for him to put a suit on and keep it on. Time to turn the page on the Turk era.

Overall good night of magic basketball.

Really unnecessary message. Stan was clearly out of this whole new plan so why you even mention him? He did a good job here, with pros and cons, no one's 100% perfect. Do you know what "moving on" means? Do it 8-)
