Game Thread: Magic (19-17) @ Nets (10-25) 7:30 Tipoff

Frye dropped to 8% three point his last 5.

Still good enough to start for Skiles. AG needs to shoot 90% in paint, 50% 3pt and 99.9% ft to make Skiles consider replacing frye.

[MrShow]

Missed the game. Not a terrible stat line for AG, any dribbles off the foot?

Nope.

Maybe it's a New Years resolution

I hope that we dont help defense too much against Wash. Its what always hurts us.

We need to go under the damn screen on Wall. We keep forcing him to Vuc which leads to disaster for us 9 times out of 10.

Aaron Gordon definitely needs to see more time... Frye's energy and effectiveness on both sides of the ball have dropped tremendously the last few weeks. It seems like he can't play more than 20-25 minutes a night the way he's been lumbering around. I'm just hoping Skiles sees the light with Aaron. It's clear as day right now that he isn't too fond of him for some reason... He's probably the top 3-4 positive players on this team once he hits the court and is the glue guy. Can't continue to let him ride the bench like this when they need production from just about anyone right now.

Channing Frye....21 minutes...2 points....2 rebounds

*Takes closer look in case of typo*


*Moment i realize it's not a typo*

All road wins are good wins!

But eeh gads, that 11-point 2nd quarter.

Im just happy that we won, weird game, Vuc, Harris, Drew and Smith couldnt make their usual shots but Oladipo and AG combined for 8-11 from three.

I really think Oladipo will eventually become a solid/good shooter, it takes time but his form seems fine and his misses are often close ones so I guess with time it will come to him, his floater is much better this season as well and despite some ugly passes tonight his playmaking is a lot better this year as well.

Cant wait for Payton to return, dont remember the last time we had an NBA level PG running the offense, Napier inexplicably annoys me to no end, even when he makes the right pass guys cant seem to make open shots when hes the passer.

[MagicStarwipe]

Can't wait until AG becomes respectable on offense...


Tobias getting his Draymond Green on.

Fournier annoys the hell out of me the way he has blinders on for certain players. Just make the correct pass no matter who it's to dude.

[j-ragg]

Yeah seems like Fournier only ever passes to Vuc. He started the year great but really haven't liked his game much outside of his catch and shoot 3s.
