Elf's energy turned the game around.

Skiles should be an option

Hard to vote against either of those guys. Would have lost without either of them. Loved what EP brought tonight, hopefully he keeps up this level of intensity on defense. No reaching or gambling, just straight up defense. He had Rubio pissed off the whole game.

With that said, fourniers 2 3's in OT were what won the game ultimately, plus the fact that he's got the flu and has been going through everything he's been going through, I'm going with hedo 2.0

Elfrid was THE difference.

Let's break the code and add Skiles.

OrlandO · Post #6 » by **OrlandO** » Thu Nov 19, 2015 4:37 am

Not adding Skiles. The coach made an adjustment at the half, but the players still have to show up and win the game. Elf and Fournier, both starters, won us this game. Outside of a few plays, bench guys like Nicholson and Smith were just along for the wild ride. Besides, it was agreed by the board in the past that vest is supposed to be for players only. If enough people want to change that we'll need to poll the board to see if a change is in order. Personally, I don't think it's fair to take away from Elf/Fournier just because Dipo/Vuc got benched for playing poorly...

There's a mistake up there. Elfrid actually had zero turnovers. The refs just blew it.

I was wondering where the 1 tov came from in the boxscore because I remembered he had 0 tov most of the game... completely blocked out that stepping out of bounds call that they "reviewed." :lol:

I'm voting for Fournier, but if there ever was a Team Vest, it's tonight. Even though our shots weren't falling we stuck with every play and grabbed a TON of 2nd chance points in addition to all of the important defensive stops. Great effort to pull out a win out of a game we should have lost.

Co-vest, vote goes to Elvan. Both are deserving.

What did Evan yell after sinking that shot?

I've heard "For Paris" or "For France." I'm thinking Paris with a french accent.

If we keep seeing this sheer amount of close games, Im going to get my doc to prescribe me a beta blocker. These games are fun to watch but damn it can be nervewrecking. One helluva games with all around big and clutch shots. Elf and Evan win this for us but we need to give a shoutout for Jason Smith. He is our heart and hustle guy. Were it not for him coming off the bench and changing around the momentum, we would of gotten blown out. He is becoming to be more invaluable to us then I thought. Love his energy. Him and Elf play at a very high motor.

EP played outstanding!. That is exactly how he should play. Be aggressive, take it to the paint and keep taking those jumpshots. Its great to see all those shots he was missing last year going in this season. Think he had like 20 points in the paint. Thats crazy.

Glad to see us finding a way to close out these tight games that we were giving away in the beginning. Next step is to get more stops and start pulling away early in the game to avoid these cardiac arrest moments.

wtf is this 17:8 ?? it should be close to 50-50

It's gotta be fournier... I'm sorry but no one else on our team would of have the guts to make that shot he did... we have had other game winning shots but they have been desperation shots that have went in . He pulled a star move on that play by just going one on one!!!

vagnermagic · Post #19 » by **vagnermagic** » Thu Nov 19, 2015 1:44 pm

Both of them deserve it, but I gotta go with Elfrid here.

Besides making big shots, he was the main reason we were still in the game after a few horrible stretches.

With that said, Evan was tremendous. Those 3 pointers at the end... Man, it felt good to be a Magic fan. =)

Gotta give credit to Scott Skiles as well. He benched Vuc and Dipo and got what he wanted from the bench guys. The defense was so much better in the second half. It was crazy. Bold move, Mr. Skiles.

It's like T-Wolves are muslim terrorists or sth.

Who gets the sixth vest?
