I just wanna see what Mario will do with his new trusted role, some more small ball with Ibaka at the 5 or AG at the 4 and reduced minutes for green. Oh and more ping pong balls too.

Making my yearly trip down to Portland for this one. Hoping Vogel keeps his word with the small ball lineups and we keep it close. Go Magic !

I am very happy they are going to use smaller lineups going forward and it also adds fuel to the fire that one of the three bigs (Vuc, Ibaka, Biyombo) will be traded.

Yeah I mean if they're going small then someone's minutes will be cut for sure. Will be interesting to see. That's if Ibaka plays of course.

My guess would have to be Biz right? Just got sent to the bench. Even if he played 20mpg if he could just bring that motor more often I wouldn't care. He hasn't looked the same for a while.

Oh, "Three bigs." I totally misread this with a Freudian slip.

Perhaps that is our problem. Many teams go with the Big 3 approach while we went with the 3 Bigs...

It's okay, you can admit it was a Craigslist hookup. We won't judge you.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

David Steele: "In an age of instant gratification..."

Yeah, in an age of instant gratification, when us millennials want things to start happening within a 5 year span. I really need to work on being more reasonable.

Love the take by AG. Good sign, not settling automatically.

Our guys look more trusting tonight. I wonder if that team dinner happened, that AG wanted to setup?
