Birch comes in and suddenly there’s a toughness and grit to our game. Setting hard picks and rolling to basket for dunks. Taking charges on defensive end and getting boards.
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

Stats say otherwise on our defense.

DJ just got lit up and Vuc played terrible 2nd.. a bad recipe for a win.


I'm talking about this game for defense, Magic are on pace to allow 125-132 points, and score 102-104.

DJ has bad game, Vuc looks letargic, Gordon is nowhere to be found, Ross has been terrible, Carter Williams shoots 3s to remind people why he was out of nba .

Keep Birch in. Vuc isn't giving us much tonight anyway.

Clifford needs to have more feel for players playing well. I appreciate that everybody always gets a chance even if they're struggling, but sometimes you just gotta ride the hot hands.

Sometimes things are just a lot easier to explain than we make them out to be.

Toronto is about to improve to 31-9 at home. They are ABSOLUTELY a finals contender.

The Magic, as improved as they are, are still just 15-24 on the road this year. Combine that with some tired legs at the end of a long road trip and this is what you get.

Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug. The Magic were the bug tonight. It happens.

Ok refs. We are not allowed to play. Great job letting canada get these fouls. They dont know what contact is, they havent even been in a war

Vuc just looks tired lately. He’s not aggressive on offense at all

Optimus_Steel wrote:DJ played prob the worst game of his Magic career. Vuc was just weirdly slow and not actively, not sure why. The Magic just wilted when Tor made the run late 2nd quarter.
I guess you forgot how bad DJ was his first year here. Many of us were hoping Mack would beat him out for the backup PG spot

Going to switch over to the Miami game now. Has to be more interesting than this game. I’m a Boston fan for tonight only.
