Game 39: Orlando Magic (16-22) @ Los Angeles Lakers (14-26) - 9:30 PM ET

After last nights game I was like

Same, imagine Fournier off the bench with Harris at the 3, Gordon at the 4 next to Biyombo protecting the rim. No shooting but a fun team!

[Jiwol]

In 30 seconds Mario had twice as many rebounds as Jeff Green in 24 minutes.

Is this supposed to be in green font? The game was long decided when Hezonja stepped on the court. Garbage time stats that don't mean anything.

Of all the justifications I've read to play Mario this has got to be the absolute worst. Let's keep things in context please!

mario needs to prove he deserve more minutes to go back in the rotation
this is nothing because it is not rotation minutes, it is garbage time

and you don't see anything stupid here? -.-
unlogic
how can he prove if he can't get a chance
and you and vogel said he will get a chance if he prove him self he deserve it
garbage time is obviously not a chance because it doesn't count
you ****

Have you heard about practice?

Have you heard about practice?

after vogel said that practice means really nothing compare to the game?
i mean, vogel said mario do well and hard on the practice but, he added, it is only practice not even 5 on 5 in practice a specially not compare to the game
so, conclusion
practice doesn't means anything for rotation, you can't deserve rotation with practice (only)
garbage time doesn't means anything for rotation, you can't deserve rotation with garbage time (only)
but you have to prove your self to deserve rotation

I can show you what vogels said about marios practice, how he practice hard, how he even like how mario attack the rim
all that on practice
and how mario needs 5 on 5 practice and game
but he don't give him even practice 5 on 5

you are joker

[Mc-o]

People putting all the blame on a 3rd year point guard who has developed a lot this year and needs to continue to, over the "vets" we traded for? Payton does a lot with no offensive role designed for him and as somebody said some talented pg's. If we traded Payton we regret it so bad 4 years down the line, so we probably will lol

Noone is putting all the bkame on. Ep all the players deserve blame including ep !

A few are, Payton probably shouldn't be starting, but he shouldn't really have been starting the past 2 seasons. I believe in Elf, I also believe that in a rebuild like ours the young players (especially a point guard) should be splitting time with a veteran and trying to out work them. Why did we trade Jameer again? If Payton was mentored by Jameer with his toughness and shooting we'd be in a lot better place, could have easily gone 26-22 in minutes Payton to Nelson, what a shame

[axl_c_cool]

Did a quick history revision, we waived Jameer to save money, 8M owed in his final year, that makes me think more we should have kept him then tried to move him to a back up last season
