It's settled. In all what... 4 or 5 years as a head coach with the good team he had in Indy he didn't tank. So now he must be opposed to it. Solid logic.

I doubt Vogel/Henny tank or intentionally lose games.

We must pray for Magic losses and wins for our competition. :pray:

It's our duty to punch out the guys who want to win meaningless games. :box:

Be competitive....grow... sure... but win... NO. :nonono:

This year, but most likely for the next few years as well.

A win here is going to really hurt the tank.. keep in mind we still play Brooklyn twice.

I think we're going to win tomorrow unfortunately

I think we're giving the Magic a little too much credit here... I mean we still do suck... They at least they have Melo and Porzingis...

Landshark · Post #731 » by **Landshark** » Wed Mar 1, 2017 6:37 am

AG is questionable for this game. Jeff Green vs. Porzingis?

We have some winnable games coming up. Got the Knicks twice in 7 days. I'll be happy with a split. I think the Knicks and Sixers pass us up. Picking 6th or 7th wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Lucky for us we can get a guy who would normally be a top 3 pick in the 5-9 range. Ntilikina intrigues me. If he can shoot he would essentially be a longer Elfrid with a jumper. Word is he has a 7 ft wing span and from the clips I've seen he's a pesky defender. Elfrid with a jumper is one of the best 15 PGs in the NBA. I'm going to keep an eye on him.

For the tankers, a loss by Orlando to NYKs basically puts the Knicks out of reach of catching the Magic in this race to the bottom.

It's our duty to punch out the guys who want to win meaningless games.

1) 14k+ paying fans might not agree with you.
2) I see wins as meaningful, not meaningless. It is my opinion that Orlando needs to see what it has with its current roster much, much more than to gamble on a 18 year old that might be the NBA's next big bust.

Embiid/Jabari vs Gordon
Porzingis vs Mario.
Terrence Jones vs Uncle Drew

so yeah, wins in meaningless seasons do hurt

I doubt Henny will have that much power left as to me he is on his way out the door.

Can't you lot who live in Orlando go and kick a few of our players so they're at least hobbling during the game?

PrimeThyme · Post #739 » by **PrimeThyme** » Wed Mar 1, 2017 1:38 pm

I'm giving up hope on ever catching the lakers or suns. They're just to bad of basketball teams. They're not going to win enough games for us to catch them.

The 50+ games before the all-star break hasn't clued you in on the lack of talent on this team? We know what we have and it isn't good.
