So much for Mario back in the rotation. I just cant fathom how he is going DNP but Watson plays 30+ and starts. It's ridiculous. Glad I stopped watching

Magic franchise is nightmare for young and talented players. No matter how good you are, you ain't gonna play much because they are "chasing" playoffs with wasted vets :banghead:

I wish the man of your avatar would be here. We would look better for sure.

Tanking at the expense of developing young players.

And Magic player with most min tonight is non other but 33 years old dude, on 31% FG for a season.
Vogel = Skiles. Don't see any difference.

It's infuriating. I only tuned in to see the young players and this is what I get. And the thing that really annoys me is that these lineups are actually worse for winning if that's what you are trying to do.

EP,Mario,Rudez,AG, and Zim

VUc is killing the tank. As much criticism as he gets, Imma miss the hell out of him is his traded.

I feel sorry for whoever Magic draft in 2017. That kid will be top 10 lottery pick and will be forced to watch DJ Augustin and Cj Watson play basketball before him for next 3 years

EP through a man's pass right there. Vuc almost botched that.

Dominating spell by Vucevic

I wrote back at the time that letting him go was the biggest mistake of the franchise since I could remember.

All these years later I now wish he would have been the man to take the realms not only as a coach but as the GM during the rebuild. We'd be in a much better position IMO.

It's funny how we're shopping Vuc, the one player that has sat through all this losing and continued to give effort and give a **** about this franchise. I honestly feel bad for the guy. He deserves to play for a winning competent franchise.

VUc stock is rising faster then the DOW.

I do really like Payton though on the positive side. Love his true pg ability

The GOAT Magic coach. It's still too soon for Vogel. I still think he is the right coach for this team but we need to get players that fit his system. Need some defense on the wings, and get rid of Green, Watson.

Ugh why do we win when we are supposed to lose. Don't really want a hero to save us at the moment...

I have been thinking the same since few weeks ago. Feel sorry for him.

This team could be a playoff team if they were healthy, and more importantly, played with heart. So sad really.

One thing no one really talks about is how bad the entire league looks right now. There are a ton of teams within 3 or 4 games of each other (a good chunk of the league).
