Why didn't we get Jeff Green on this team during the vaughn years... could have got us higher picks.

Even our commentators said someting about it in the third quarter, about how we stopped going to Gordon when he had a mismatch.

Didn't get a chance to watch the game tonight, but AG looked good in highlights. I was about to go to this game, but I'm glad I didn't.

Trade everybody else but Biz and get high picks and real NBA players. We should have been tanking 3 games ago.

We've lost the last 4 games? Technically we have been tanking lmao



1-6 since the win vs Grizzlies.

Didn't get to watch the game due to the time difference / work but looking at the box score / end result, we're 75% of the way towards what we should be doing the rest of this season.

Cut out Green and give those minutes to Hezonja and we'll be a lot closer.

Result-wise - I can accept a loss when we're doing something towards building for the future. From the comments it looks as if Vogel went away from Gordon when he shouldn't have so there's issues to address there. But overall, a loss does move us closer to what I feel we ultimately need out of this season which is to be in position to draft a high impact guy.

Thanks for posting this.

AG's last bucket came at the 5:56 mark in the 4th Q, pulling the Magic within 2.
Then nothing......

#StealthTank

Well that would explain Jeff green playing heavy minutes. To think this roster is close to the playoffs is laughable. Rest of the season is about keep pushing and developing AG. If only he had the freedom to do what Jeff green does. If only.
I was saying they weren't a playoff team in the offseason. What was it that I was called? A negative nancy?

I'm not sure why people keep making this joke. It's not funny, and it's not close to having any kind of truth behind it.

If anyone is potentially on the line to be traded it's Fournier and Vuc.


I am on the fence either way. I prefer to keep all and give them 2-3 years to see what they can do.

But, if Harris and Dipo, can be traded while Dipo/Harris have shown just as much potential if not more than Elf and AG, why would they not also be traded to be more competitive now? Has Dipo and Harris shown better stats in their 1st 3 years than Elf or AG has? Besides, quality centers is the hardest position to come across, so why gift away talented bigs unless there is superior return? Biz does not look like a starting center in the NBA. Henny would be wise if someone would take him in a deal over Vooch as that $18 mil may strap us for years with an average level center who hurts the team on offense unless the team finds star talent that can create their own shot.

The one bright spot of this franchise. We better not find a way to mess this up. We should have rode AG to the finish line last night and fed him the ball. This team is going no where fast it's time to give AG a bigger role. Frank has to realize this.

The game was close but I really didn't expect us to win. The Clips are a pretty good team so I don't think forcing the ball to Gordon would have gotten a better result. We defended poorly on Speights and a couple of other plays but if you take those out then yea we could've pulled the W. Vogel did what he knows best and that's try to rely on the defense. Our offensive output as a whole was just fine. Had we held the Clips to 90,91,92 points that's when we'd have a chance to win the game.

we just need to play 82 games vs clippers and we get superstar AG


btw where are the people who said Green is a good solid signing and he will play only 10-15 minutes? :roll:

Winning or losing with players like DJ/Green/Meeks is doing absolutely nothing to benefit this team long term. Management cannot be this blind... or they have just become desperate.
