I think this next few games gonna define what FO do at the trade deadline. If we lose the games i think we will trade Vuc and Ross. Otherwise we gonna keep them and keep the playoff hunt.

Man, this "Inside the Magic: 08-09 Run to the Finals" episode that's on right now is bringing back so many memories. I miss that team :(

Even if we lose the rest of the games prior to the trade deadline, I don't see them trading Vuc. Why trade the one piece you got? And why trade a player who could be traded next yr under contract who is most likely an all-star?

They might have a serious sit down with him and ask him if he plans to re-sign or not. If not, we thank him and ship him out whilst we can still get something. If he does, hang on to him.

With Bamba looking better lately I'd like to see him play some more minutes for his development. I don''t think 16 minutes is going to cut it going forward. Should be around 20 now.

another funny part of sitting on your hands for 2 years is, it also makes it quite impossible for management to sell everybody and hit the reset button at this point. what they have 3 years left to show something better than this? they'll lean on being optimistic about the team come deadline.

Unfortunate for Briscoe. Hopefully he gets his spot right back whenever he returns from that injury, but I'm skeptical. i mean, Iwundu just lost his spot through an injury that wasn't even his. AG gets injured, Simmons plays, and now Simmons has Iwundu's spot. Not that I'm an Iwundu homer, but still. Vomit.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Damn, looks like Oladipo dislocated his knee or something. Had to be taken off by a stretcher. That sucks to see.

So what we’ve learned is the Magic haven’t learned nothing from playing this same team a few days ago. Reflection of the coach.

Clifford's decision to bench Briscoe for Grant made absolutely no sense to me. Terrible decision from him.

How many times are the announcers going to say "nobody home" with Bamba on the floor? They're already at 3.

Briscoe rolled his ankle... hopped off the floor.

Brooklyn has an embarrassment of riches at the guard position. Really highlights how terrible we are in that department. As soon as Grant was subbed in for Briscoe, our offense looks like complete crap.
