Nope. He's our best finishing guard why should he pass? And he got to the line


I'm just sick of his stat stuffing play. There was nothing wrong on that particular play.

Since nobody else mentioned it, he did point to Gordon for the inbound before the end of the half. He was unguarded, but he wanted no part of a half-court heave before the buzzer. That stuff is just shameless. I know it's almost entirely inconsequential, but I loved getting the opportunity to chuck a full-court shot in those situations.

Was it this year or last year that we came back on Charlotte down like 20 or something?

Nice drive, Fournier.

Maybe just once we should try to not bite on that little up fake by Jefferson.

Evan only cares about his next contract at this point.

Not sure that I blame him, but it's frustrating to watch as a fan.

We really need to work on our fast break spacing. Worked that time though.

You know we can match any offer he gets right? Or do you feel the Magic won't match?

If Skiles is our coach, what's the point in locking him up? Skiles obviously prefers Jason Smith's long 2's.

No. I mean his contract hunting selfish play.

Sure he looks good at times. He's a talented player who is getting a massive usage rate of late. He's not passing or creating for anyone else. It's all about his scoring average.

Gotta maintain them assets... :lol:

In all seriousness, it is frustrating to see him get his minutes jerked around like that.

Please, all that scrub can do well is shoot. Daniels is absolute garbage at literally everything else that relates to basketball.

..and yet he's still out playing Mario. I didn't say anything about his projected career trajectory.


Team wins = Skiles doing

Team loses = Players fault

We looked so bad in that first half, but Charlotte didn't put the game out of reach. They really seem to be running out of steam. Would be nice to steal a win tonight.
