Ah, well I guess it was broken. But I don't think the Magic called at 4 am and told the guy not to press charges. I could be wrong.

I think the Police and Hotel just thought it was useless to press charges over a keyboard. Anyways, when I was like 23 years old, I worked the midnight shift as an Auditor and had seen it all including Pimps, Hoes, Trannies, fights and police called every week. Rarely were people charged unless it was something serious.

Yeah that was my point. Not that this was some "rich people get off" conspiracy, but more of a "this was minor so we aren't going to bother with it".

You know what as a person who is competitive myself, I understand his frustration in wanting to be there in the heat of battle. I once played in a 3 on 3 tournament 3 weeks after a partial achilles tear thinking that if I taped it really well, I could still play. Ends up that I was not very good out there hobbling around but I wanted to play that badly while wanting the team to win.

Especially, in BBD's case where the lack of defense is killing the Magic.

Imagine a lineup of

Dipo
AA
Hark
BBD
Vooch.

Hark didn't start right off the bat and neither should Oladipo. He hasn't earned that right. He does show flashes of greatness, but only flashes.

To be fair Harkless was starting by game #9 (next game), and he had shown not even half of this. Let alone that Oladipo is the #2 pick and the guy the franchise is trying to "sell" to the fanbase.

They started him over Redick moving into the lineup and others.

Plus he was injured and missed all of summer league/training camp. They clearly wanted to get him into the lineup ASAP. The primary difference between the two situations is we didn't really have a good alternative at the 3 with Hedo struggling/doping/injured and Harrington injured. I'm still guessing one of AA or Nelson will be gone before February and Dipo will start in that spot.

As I remember, the only reason Hark started was because Hedo was hurt. Didn't play that many minutes at the beginning.

I agree pimp. Although at times I felt he was our tank commander last year...I really enjoy his heart on the court better than maxiell.

I was just sayin....last night someone mentioned that, and today we have an example from an inactive magician.

I guess maxiell is the new commander. His handles*crap, include Meer, dipo and hark* last night were wretched.

Harkless played with a good energy level last night, can't say he played bad at all. They only thing wretched from him was his terrible passing. But on the glass half full side, at least he saw his teammates, he just couldn't seem to execute the correct feeds to them.

All I ever expect from him every night is for him to play hard and keep his motor running.

Vaughn just kind of made him disappear from his rotation from the 3rd quarter on.

I'll be surprised if Randle doesn't go number one

Dude looks good out there especially in this second half. He knows how to finish in traffic and is beasting inside.

Marcus Smart seems to have improved his 3pt shot

InFlames · Post #1230 » by **InFlames** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 2:52 am

Yea Randle is the real deal.

ORLFLA · Post #1231 » by **ORLFLA** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 3:10 am

Randle is a beast, but needs to work on being doubled...would not be shocked if he gets picked over Wiggins (might have to take have to take that back after watching KU vs Duke)

After a full year of college we'll know if the hype is justified. Randle has shown it is so far, Wiggins has not, yet.

All I'm saying is, if the draft is being held at this point, then Wiggins would go #1 -- so why would he be surprised if Randle doesn't go #1? Randle has weaknesses also, not like he's perfect. At this point, I would still be surprise if Wiggins doesn't go #1.

Parker is a lot better than Wiggins. I'm tired of these athletic guys getting over-hyped. Where are the intangibles? Where is the skill?

PeePee la Fritz · Post #1237 » by **PeePee la Fritz** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 4:50 am

Parker dominating 2 games in. He is LEGIT!

He's got a much better skill set plus scouts are already questioning his motor.

Ugh if we had number one that'd be a tough choice between him and Randle... glad I don't have to make that decision.

Just pick the one least likely to demand a trade
