Really bad because of them but Vogel will blame Mario and take him out of the rotation again. That is how it usually goes.

I liked him better than Fournier when he was on the Raptors. I like everyone in the league more than Fournier. Maybe not Jeff Green.

This is the stuff that works well with Bizmack. We tend to move him out to the free throw line and give him the ball. Doesn't really do him or the offense any favors.

I almost forgot Big Bizness was on the Magic until Ross checked out and I see Biyombo patting the seat next to him on the bench "come sit next to your father"

Vuc looks awful. Our bench is really thin. I would have loved to have developed a guy like KJ off the bench instead of playing Green, but we only have 24 games left. Plus free agency and 3 draft picks should be a big help for us.

Have you seen our record? We're VERY used to it.

Wanted to wait until after the game but those ross passes give me a lot of hope.

lol, fair. It's Ross' most frustrating trait, he falls asleep on defense.

But man, once that shot gets going...its fun to watch. I really hope he works out for you. Despite the fact that I hated him because we didn't take Drummond, he was a decent player.

And why are we so aggressive all of a sudden...would have been nice all season

Trade really worked for the best. Ross makes more sense for us and Serge should make more sense for you.

It never gets old hearing David and Jeff talk about "crafty left handers". Wait... yes it does.

Is it just me or does Vuc look super happy Ibaka is gone?

Watching the game is at least more bearable. We're still terrible though, which I don't mind at this point.

Our bench is thin but the tank is on. I like the buy in and intensity that Ross is already bringing. That said we are going to have to clean up some things. Both he and Fournier will get eaten up on back door cuts nightly. I hope that we can make some things happen over the summer with the pieces we have.

Well we are faster and smaller. This is what I have been wanting to see all season. You put AG at PF and he is active as hell around the rim. Ross is a very active defender.

Honestly they make Vuc look very slow in comparison. You really can see the difference when the second unit comes out. Green is such a plodder.

While Ross is on the court, Fournier has disappeared. I think that Ross will overplay him and, therefore, this would be the last session of Evan here in Orlando. Henny is going to move him in the offseason -or at least he should be trying to move Fournier-.

As someone who's been a huge Ross fan since his college days at Washington, I loved what I saw in the first quarter from him with you guys. Vogel seems to understand that Ross is a gifted passer, I was worried he'd utilize him as just a shooter from the corners like we did

Jeff Green's lazyness worked out in our favor there

Starting lineup looked great defensively. Time for Green, Mario and Augustin to do their job and tank though

Mario looks refreshed.
