Please let it be Skiles.

Why? The players lost this.

You're right but when the players are not responding, the coach is the one that has to go. We're not going to just trade AG, Mario, Oladipo, Elf, Vuc, etc...

Hell, even Skiles' starters from a few years ago (who are in their primes) look awful playing for him.

Skiles's "offense" is just really unimaginative in general. There's so much you could be doing with Gordon offensively other than forcing him to be a spot up 3 point shooter.

Lies! Mario and Aaron played defense. Offensively, they ignored the first mentioned guy up until the point he scored 10 in a row of Magic's 16 in 3rd quarter and then they kept on ignoring him later. Aaron was ignored as well and then Ilaysova who played like absolute trash got to play instead of Aaron.

But yes, Oladipo missed badly. If the lineup had been like in the Bulls game, I'm sure we would have won. I also wrote this before the game and it seems I'm right!

No joke, give me JV back.

Ok, then there is clearly no having a conversation with you about what is and is not good coaching in the NBA. If you think JV could even hold Skiles' jock, then you are either delusional, or just intentionally pushing an anti-Skiles agenda and saying anything.

By the way the team is better this year under nearly every measurable you can think of, most importantly record. That is with virtually the same roster Jacque had. You have clearly forgotten what a dumpster fire this team was under Vaughn. It was unwatchable. But you have the torch and pitchfork out calling for Skiles' head, so facts are not important to you.

Not at all what I'm saying. If we had JV right now, he would be gone soon and then we could move on to another coach. I'm scared that we're stuck with Skiles for the next 4 years...

I was listening to the game on the radio so i couldn't get context but why did we go away from hezonja when he had the hot hand?

But how can Ilyasova take 14 shots though? We could have given AG those looks.

Fournier felt his contract year slipping away

We just went to more Vuc jumpers and Fournier/Vuc shenanigans. He got the ball a few times but was covered.

Because we rather settle for CJ's & Illyasova garbage shots and Vooch's fadeaways after he's missed like 10 in a row.

I was upset Oladipo was out but his absence should not have allowed this still. Alex Len went off and we had no offense at all. I'm over it. We are not good and don't deserve to make the playoffs. We are stuck at "potential" and just can't win.

I am not optimistic for the playoffs next year either.

Maybe, this is part of Henny's master plan to have 2 consecutive tanking coaches.

Aside from the terrible joke losses like this one and the Sixers, I'd say about 7-8 of our losses we literally had an 80% chance of winning if we were a seasoned team that didn't play tight. If we get the right players to help grow with our core I think we make the playoffs quite easily (like 5-8 seed).

Edited my post to be more accurate.

Let me rephrase what I said: Last meeting Len killed Vooch, as do most opposing centers.

Len had 20 points and 14 rebounds against our starting center in our last meeting on 7-10 shooting (he averages 7.9 PPG, 6.6 RPG).

Just stop.. Another one for the foe list

Magic by 10 Vooch for sweater vest.

Len skull **** Vuc tonight

Vet starters. Of course, skiles could have kept him involved if he knew how to coach...

I know that but how can he be so stupid? I doubt Ilyasova played any good D and even if he did,AG's defense is so much better. How can you let a role player who just got here take 14 shots and get away with it. HOW??????????

Elfrid was 2-3 after that Mario run and then the 4th Q started and we went with Ilyasova and Fournier and Vuc shots.

That was an embarrassment. Blown out at home to a team that has won like 3 games in 3 months and on the 2nd night of a back to back. Had lost 17 road games in a row. Went scoreless for almost 8 mins against one of the worst defensive teams in the league. The team has clear internal issues and they have given up on the season already. They just went thru the motions. I expect like a disastrous 10 game losing streak after this horrible debacle. Thank God we have a real team in Orlando City to watch this weekend. Just end this season already please, end this trash.
