Gamethread: Magic @ Bucks 01/10

[SHAQ32]

EP is such a bum

Hopefully we draft a point guard with our first pick and let this scrub be on his way

wouldn't call him a bum.. the kid has talent just needs to find a way to be more consistent and stay engaged for a whole game.

Let's give him another 4 years

I mean he DOES have nice hair

i don't think that somebody who gets 20 points on 20 shots on worst team in nba deserves the max .Will he get one ? Probably

Where do you get your numbers? The toilet store?

last 7 games he is taking 18 or more FGA most of the times. Team lost 6 of 7
Last 5 games he is averaging 21 point on 21 FGA, 40% FG and 20,7% for 3 ..and 0,8 assist on usage around 28 to 30%

where you get yours? nba 2k?

I thought magic johnson was AG's favorite player? I can't tell.

Pretty certain he is alluding to the Cavs game

Well if he is, that's still stupid. A few bad games doesn't define a season. If that's how it works, then we can't have anybody use the terrible "lol but triple doubles right?" joke when trashing Payton. I pick his biggest triple double game and declare that THAT is Elfrid Payton and that he should be rated accordingly.

[EasternMagic]

This team is an abomination to basketball.

[j-ragg]

The Mavericks won. The Bulls won. The Grizzlies won.

Maybe we can all get along for the tank?

wasn't saying that at all.. he's got skills but missing the ones to be a legit starting PG. He'd probably be one of the better backups in the league wherever he goes.

Gordon has always played hero ball... he's just not a hero.

Yeah but this is what development is. It's letting him grow into the role.

What kind of numbers/performance do you expect from him?

[JudBuchler]

he put 5 shooters on the floor once starters gave up 13-2 run in 3rd to see if someone would get hot. No one did so in came Mack.

I'm fine with that. Nobody played worth a damn.

absolutely... I'm not a fan of DJ but he can bring shooting sometimes. really just sad that we're in the same spot as we were 5 years ago. If anything Vogel seems to be saying to the whole team if you're not showing effort you're going to be sitting on bench idc who you are

Vogel should be sitting the bench

[Audi]

The Mavericks won. The Knicks won. The Grizzlies are winning.

Knicks lost.

[bobbeaver]

To me it looks like Vogel has given up. Lets players do what ever they want. Calls no plays n lets players figure it out. But besides AG and Simmons if they do too much he benches them. He only cares about giving upfront decided minutes

[OrlandoDream]

Cant believe there are people still question giving AG a max. Only 22 having a career year and with a broke injured roster. Put him under a coach and Gm that knows how to surround their best players with others that complement their game, and AG will be an all star.

After all the bitching that is being done about not maxing Oladipo, you really want to see what AG will be in another 2-3 years in another team?

Too bad he doesn't have the motor or heart to go along with his size and ball-handling

Instead he'd rather pout and mail it in because of whatever reason

If you can't go out there and block everything out for a few hours and play hard consistently, then gtfo my team

lol @ "choose wisely"

Meant Bulls. Thanks.

ATL is also currently winning. This could end up being a perfect tank night

attacking a rim instad of just bombing 3s when his shot is off. This is his 4th season in nba it's not like he is rookie who is trying to figure out what he can do. Yes he is young, yes he has potential but if you want to live up to max deal you have to be smart and learn how to make players around you better. Right now he is taking awful shots and plays super selfish . I mean look at his assist numbers it's 0-1-2 all the time . That simply can't continued with 20-22 FGA especiallyl if he is flat out cold and yet keeps forcing.

I hate double standards, i hated how Evan played tonight, forcing his shots, but by same standards i will judge Gordon who will force fadeaway 2 over passing to open man in 80% cases

I think the underlying issue and an issue so many are having is calling AG the future when not one person on this team deserves that title.

[fendilim]

I can't see them standing Pat at the deadline without any minor move.

Dont keep our hopes up. We’ve always wanted a trade during the trade deadline as long as i can remmember.
