Everyone on the team was confirmed healthy going into this game. The only thing hurt right now is their pride.

what a hell happend on Spurs- Nuggets?
When i saw box scocre Spurs were up by 7 and Jamal Murray had 3 points on 0-8 FG midway through 3rd Q. Nuggets won by 9 and Murray has 24 points.

Oh and during SL i wanted to steal White from Spurs . :(

I mean, I didn't actually do anything, and neither did you. We both just sat here and watched other people do something.


Sports rivalries play a big part in it.

I like you guys, so I won't trash talk you. But now if you were the Saltics, that would be a very different story.

The seeding also matters (a higher seed trash talking a lower one is lame).

When you add to that fact that Vučević is banged up, you get this.

There is no excuses in playoffs but it showed how matchups are playing up, Magic really don't have any head to head adventage aside from Ross vs Vleet, but even off bench not a single Magic player defends Ibaka well enough.



I'm sure people don't forget your toxicity either.

Vuc and Fournier are learning that they aren’t very good when it matters.

AG threw a little shade. Just a little. He was talking about people having good intentions but the ball was sticking in his post game comments. I'm sure it will be addressed in their film session.

So all the games to get us into the playoffs and the win on Saturday didnt matter? I think you’re overreacting.
If AG is our leading scorer then we’ll always be in trouble. Just regroup and get better. Toronto did what they were supposed to do.
I trust cliff and the guys will adjust. This is invaluable experience

They’re just getting their excuses ready in case they lose. We were in their heads the minute Raps came in here to talk noise.

This is probably the most relaxed I’ve felt about a playoff series because we weren’t even supposed to be here. The experience is what I wanted for our younger guys Winning the series against an overrated raptors team would just be icing.

i saw someone asked the record with him reffing and they are 5-0 this year. not sure what they are bitching about

Well I was expecting 99.9 % a beatdown...Don't worry we fine..they were playing for their life and career...can't stop this Kawhi...nobody in the NBA can stop his Kawhi.

Better take this blowout now than at home.
Feel confident coming back at Central.

Eh, it's hard when Vuc doesn't get going. He's basically our offense. I think we'll shoot better at home but it's disheartening to see him clueless on how to impact the game.

Have you seen the arena during the playoffs? Magic fans tend to bring it.

Vuc really struggled with his first taste of the energy and hostility of road playoff games (he wasn't the only one, but was the most notable). I hope the home games are a different story with the building behind him and he builds some confidence going back to Toronto.

We only have to win our home games and the Amway has been a bit of a fortress toward the back end of the season. Pivotal game 3.

Vuc needs to find a way to step up. He's playing like 4th quarter Vuc, but since this is playoff intensity, every quarter is played like a 4th quarter. Toronto has smashed him with really targeted defense, but Vuc as the allstar, and on a team devoid of scoring options, needs to take this time to step up. He's rushed shots, played timid and looked to pass a lot more. Credit to him, he's made some beautiful passes, but he needs to go at Gasol and go get us some buckets. Or else, this entire season just feels empty.

The team needs a scorer, we know he can score, it's up to him to go and get it done. Hopefully the home court advantage and some new Cliff plays can free him up for some good looks.

Well I expected that. They came out swinging due to their embarassment and desparation and we took a beating.

Hopefully our guys learned from it and we defend our home the next 2 games
