It looked like it was gonna be another let down game early on, great to see the team play hard and turn it around completly

Can't believe Biyombo started over Vucevic on Frank Vogel's Magic team smh.

Monk is a garbage time legend.

This is like the opposite of what the Hornets used to do us, they are so demoralized, just like we used to be.

It's nice to see The Magic get a win to end the trip 3-3. It could have been a better trip but The win against The Lakers and going .500 makes this an ok trip that could have again been better.

It feels like you could go to the G-league ranks right now and find a more useful player than Amile. I like the energy he plays with but he's just not an NBA play in todays game.

All 11 players scored a field goal tonight... Where has BJ wandered off to?

Great play by Evan.

Good 2nd half from Vucci

The defense was suffocating in the early part of the 3rd quarter.

Vest thread is going to be slightly delayed. Gimme 20-30 minutes.

No need. It belongs to Evan anyway

I hope we get to play Charlotte in the first round of the playoffs.

Indeed. It was not long ago they were trouncing us by 20+ every time.

It was a debacle. Vuc was pissed, rightly so, and people would bitch and moan about him being upset he was coming off the bench. Now Vuc has made an all-star team and Biz is routinely getting DNPs.

It's hard to put into perspective how bad Biyombo is. Everytime he is involved in offense it's a guaranteed run for the other team. Tonight when Charlotte was making their own run he stopped it dead by getting an offensive fouls, then fumbling the ball away the next possession.

Just saw that he and his partner's daughter arrived 3 weeks early, so that explains that.

Congrats BJ :beer:

How bad he was?

Well among 42 centers who played that year in NBA, by real plus minus, his value ranked him 3rd worst. 2 worst were: rookie ,out of shape Zubac and injuried Okafor. In other words he was the worst center who played that year.
In same time he was highest payed player on Orlando :lol:

By PER he was "just "5th worst. 4 worst were Diaw ( retired after) Bogut ( retired after ) Poelti (rookie) and Ed Davis .
