Why is simmons starting? Vogel is pathetic man. Just start Mario or Iwundu and let Simms ride the bench.

Every game Vogel starts Simmons over Mario makes me hate him even more

Wow, this dude needed to watch film to notice the obvious... not one person on the coaching staff mentioned his chucking ball hog nonsense?
Just wow... we'll see how he plays tonight... hopefully he'll understand the game much better moving forward...

I'm guessing Vogel or some teammates finally pointed it out. Good to hear him acknowledge it publicly... will be looking for him to come out tonight and mix it up with some good passes.

Good on AG for that, but staff seem too scared to actually do their job or something. Certain players seem quicker to get punished (EP, Mario, even Vuc at times when he was playing) which is weird.

Look, I know you're not a fan of AG, but the dude has just made a pretty open and humble statement about his own performance. Regardless of what was the catalyst, give him credit for making the effort to be aware of what he is and isn't doing on the court.
It's a bit weak to throw shade at him when he's come out and said "yep, I've screwed up", when none of our other players ever own their poor play. This is the kind of leadership I want to see from the team. Not players pouting when other players score 40 points, or pouting if they get sent to the bench.
When was the last time you heard Mario say "yeah, I watched film of me last season and realised I turned the ball over every time I tried to put it on the floor"? Instead the most infamous quotes from him are about how he thinks he's the best player in the world.

Yea man that's true about certain players seem quicker to get punished for bs...it's really weird. what the hell is wrong with this coaching staff? What makes AG so untouchable? What... a little show at the dunk contest? dude is not even that good... but even if he was... this is how a head coach lose all respect from his players...which I think it has happened already...

Feel like that's more shade on the coaching staff than AG.

AG speaking up publicly is a sign of leadership development.

People act like guys like KD didn't get this same criticism at the start of their careers. I told you AG will eventually figure it out. I don't know why people were being so impatient. It's literally been only half a season of him being a legit scoring option for the first time in his career.

Actually I've heard hezonja say he'll do whatever coaches ask of him... and so far he has... and how he has to improve on all areas...
I didn't throw any shades at him though...where did I do that?
I just said i couldn't believe how no one in the coaching staff pointed out his chucking nonsense... which is true... he's just been chucking up shots every game...
And pretty much you can tell I'm glad he noticed his nonsense because I said moving forward I hope he can understand the game much better...
It may look like I'm not a fan because I'm pointing out his bs nonsense instead of padding him on the head saying nonsense stuff like other posters like give him all the shots he wants and yada yada...
But I'm pulling for AG to improve his game... I want him on our squad next season if he can just knock the bs out and play the right way... I don't want Isaac or our next lotto pick to be influenced by bs basketball

Have to say the Magic do a good job of keeping crowds respectable at Amway even when the team is so bad.
So many decent teams like the Wizards (the Pistons another one) that have terrible crowds considering they’re solid 4-6 seeds.
