Just grow a pair and spine and finish the job tonight in a respectable manner.
P.S. Cut off all the whining PLEASE about "Jett, Jett", "AB over Fultz" and "Houston buried". It's just silly, there's a good reason those guys are not in the rotation when all bodies are healthy. They need time to develop and gain some experience and self-esteem. Just not there yet.
I agree to certain extent but I think the magic can be better with someone besides Fultz.
Also true. Given the fact that we have a season where the Magic organization is after getting wins in any way possible, Fultz will always be higher (when healthy and until he's traded away) in the pecking order over Anthony Black. Just the reality in the NBA - veterans over rookies, experience over youth when success on a regular basis is required.
Nothing surprising or wrong about it, just the cold reality of the NBA and not the ungrounded wishful RealGM board thinking and childish whining.
I love AB and have high hopes for him, but let's be honest here - he ain't contributing much besides bringing the ball up the court (slowly) after made basket, distributing it to P5 or Franz to take over. He makes an occasional backdoor cut for an easy basket which is the result of his court awareness but mainly a product of the good passing and rotations of the starters.
And he plays solid D with some block or a steal here and there. Not much else in terms of pick n roll, consistent scoring, shooting, driving, dishing or eliminating his personal defender...you know stuff like that those elite guards do.
AB is Young and will learn, let's just not pretend he's something else than an unexperienced and raw rookie that has a long way in front of him.
