The overreaction over here is absurd. Yes, it's painful to watch but its just a damn game. We will have some more like this during the season and we will have some where we beat contenders. None of those games mean we are horrible nor contenders. In 82 games all sort of oddities will happen. The Cavs are better than we are but not by this much.

I just can't see how giving Hezonja Dipo's shots would be a negative.

Sad that it takes some clown looking idiot holding on to someone for a player to show some kind of emotion for the Magic tonight.

Gordon just doesn't want to be on the court.

It's a shame what Oladipo has become. He's a shell of player against better competition. Skiles ball sucks all the life out of attacking guys. I don't know that he is a good fit for these guys.

Only a matter of time until we had a blowout and Hezonja became the ballhandler. They've been working on it in practice all season.

Hezonja's ball handling and shooting are a +
The future is bright 8-) Payton said. ``I just want to keep getting better and maybe one day I can be the all-time all assists leader for the Magic.’’

My fear with AG is that he doesn't want to be a star. He kinda did the same thing at Arizona. He was a phenomenal team player but never stood out as THE GUY.

I mean that's been his role all season. AG's not going to yell at Shabazz to stop shooting with 21 on the clock, seems like coach should do that.

Thing with Mario we will see over the next season is his passing and vision. He has a lot of kinks to iron out with time but the core is there and he can already score. Just wait.

this is exactly what the mock drafts said about him on NBAdraft.net:

If Gordon is drafted with the idea of becoming a high level role player instead than a franchise changing star, his outlook is extremely bright

yeah, i'm just wondering where the divide in mentality comes from. Bazz and Mario are in and just want to shoot, especially in this garbage time. heck, even Smith is taking shots willy-nilly.

i wouldn't mind seeing AG be a bit more reckless and just start launching ****. he's got a complete free pass tonight so may as well use it. it's not like we're running plays.

Skiles needs to hire a good offensive assistant and let him/her have control over the offense and just handle defense and the overall scheme. Magic needs someone that knows how use talent correctly.

At least Mario's ballhandling looks better.

The fact that we're not running plays strictly for AG and Hezonja makes me hate Skiles. What's the F'ing point to losing all those years and then not develop the talent?
