The Orlando Magic can't even tank correctly. SAD!

Vogel is such a joke, he gives BJ to his players after every W... on 19-30 team :lol:

This game dropped us from 5th to 8th on tankathon.

We miss Porzringis by 1 pick, miss Embiid by one pick, yet we still don't **** get it.

Im done... see you guys at the draft.

That sound you hear behind you is the door slamming shut. How can one root for their team to lose? F...ng draft picks are no guaranteee. GTFO.

Got it.

Answer this, will Jeff Green be a magician next year?

I don't know. Do you? And Mario? And AG? And Vooch? And Ibaka? And Vogel?

All I know is I'm still going to be rooting for wins. If it hurts our future, too bad.

Because this is road to mediocrity and just re-living 2016-17 season over and over agian. This team is not good enough for playoffs, but they are not worst team in the league . That still means they are one of the worst teams in the league. People would be happy if this W come with team playing Hezonja and with Gordon and Payton in big roles, in reality this W comes from guys who are all proven to be average players that don't make your team better by long shot.

Tank might ride on who we trade ibaka for.... if we actually bring in a good player like crowder that's not going to make us worse and might actually give us a boost.

I just got on board with tanking and now we beat the Raptors in Toronto!?

Dunno man, a lot of these people wanted this team to win for quite a while. When the team shows nothing night after night and the coach has no vision for the future and we keep signing veterans to barely move the needle when we need them and **** up draft position when we're no longer competitive, taking a holier than thou attitude when cheering for the team doesn't mean much. We all want the same thing which is to be better. If we win 5 in a row, that's something. If we win one big game and then lose again when we need wins then it's the same cycle over and over again.

Again, people can celebrate and enjoy the win. Just saying nothing about this game changed anything about the team's outlook or future. It's not like we won on the backs of anybody that will be a huge piece of this team in the future (other than Vucevic, unless he's moved).

Exactly. So go and enjoy the win.

Every win between now and the AS break increases the odds of a panic trade.

Enjoy this win when we make a panic trade at the deadline and pick 11th in the lottery again when we could've had a franchise player. That's what this franchise does best.

I honestly don't think the tankers have much to worry about. The team has looked utterly pathetic over the past month+ and I can't think of any games left in the season in which the Magic will be favored except against Brooklyn. We just went into the number 2 team in the East's house and beat them after they dominated us earlier in the year. I, for one, will enjoy the win and still feel good about the team's lottery chances because if there's one thing this season has taught me it's that the Magic aren't very good and will continue to lose a lot more games.

Yes, we expect wins. Just not against #2 teams in their conference. Meaning.. this is a win that was unaccounted for, so yes, one win matters.

Lol were bit gonna lose every game. There will be games like this where a fire is lit. I don't expect this performance every night. Green and DJ had nearly perfect games and Vuc was hot.
