This is the first Magic game I have attended in almost 3 years. Whatever happens... I'll be in a good mood tonight!

GO MAGIC!

Lol that's so awesome. I'd always yell at AG to dunk lol he's been dunking it way more now that he's getting more comfortable. He used to go for some layups that would get swatted or miss. Love that he recognizes that.

I'm here now. Elf and Mario are out working and their layups while Vuc is stretching. No other magicians to be seen.

Evan is out tonight as well. Lets go Mario! Come back strong for another showing.

Apparently is more serious then he thought. Wonder what happened? =/

I have always enjoyed getting to games early and watching warm ups. This is the first time I have had the luxury of seeing warm for our current roster.

Elf pays too much attention to his practice defender. His eyes are on the defender rather than the basket and when the shot goes up it is hideous.

Vuc is up shooting now. He literally doesn't give a **** about his defender. His eyes are glued on the basket and is just knocking down shot after shot.

It's just practice but that does say a lot (to me) about their confidence at the moment.

When did this injury initially happen? I think he played through it, but was it just one game or more? I remember him holding his wrist with a grimace on his face, but can't remember which game.

edit: wasn't it something with varejao? That would mean he played through 2 games with it.... smh

I find this interesting. Please keep posting things like that.

I'm not sure what game was that exactly but it was in January if I'm not mistaken. I also noticed that.

we've been seeing this attitude after the all-star break. That dunk contest gave him the extra confidence he needed apparently. Good stuff.

Fournier has been playing through hip and wrist issues, and I guarantee if he wasn't in his contract year he would have sat out a lot of the games.

Post #19 » by **SOUL** » Wed Mar 2, 2016 1:44 am

Vuc is doing everything and nothing right now lol

LMAO @ Skiles for putting Dipo on Parsons.
