We'll grab Sam Hinkie

The Spurs most certainly did not tank to get Tim Duncan.

He is one of our best and prob our best offensive talent so we desperately need him to play angry like this because when he plays angry he beasts. Too bad we coudlnt get him the ball in the 4th quarter. Saw leadership from Vuc. Come on Vuc continue this we need you to lead this team.

Seriously, that was the best basketball I've ever seen from him. He was magnificent.

3's, needle threading passes, post moves, multiple blocks, steals, great rotations and timing on defense, gobbling up rebounds.

I think we're starting to get through the really bumpy parts of early chemistry, and we're finding a rhythm. Vogel really has brought the best out of Vuc.

Or make a move and get into the playoffs.

Front Court is fine...need better wings. More PT for hezonja with gordon may have won us the game. Green is awful.

I think it is insane to trade Mario until we give the guy a shot to show us what he can do as a starter.

It's not insane if he commands fairly high value, if he doesn't then no we keep him. He has potential, dislike it when people call him a bust.

I think For the first time one or more of the trio of EP/AG/Mario may get traded if the right opportunity arise. Our starting SF spot is such a black hole that it needs to be fixed if we want to finish this season with a respectable record.

It's a shame too. We're going to trade AG or Mario to try and get the 8th seed that we probably have a 40% chance of getting by the time we make a move, all to get knocked out in 4 games by Cleveland. We've traded all of our young prospects this rebuild for vets that cap our ceiling as a treadmill team at best.

I am bitter. It is a disgusting effort to spot 19-point to the Wizards. In a "can't lose" game, how does the Magic come out with so little effort in the 1st quarter.

Yuck!

We could also just stop playing Jeff and give his minutes to Mario... since you know, we wasted a top 5 pick on him just a year ago.

Remember a few years back when Boston fans thought Green was going to be an all-star? I wish someone would dig those threads up.

At this point, what is there to lose?
