Rodney Hood destroying the Magic now in this quarter. It looks like we were the ones who played last night.

This is absolutely garbage just trade everyone. I don't get it. 3 straight losses coming in, facing a 6 and 10, 6 AND **** 10 TEAM! This is the effort we get? No sense of urgency? Zero team ball. No defense. I'm appalled.

It's early in the year and I do not want to insinuate anything but I'm starting to wonder if Vogel's voice is being lost with this group? It could be the holdover players from the last regime that do not fit. I really don't know at this point but there is something clearly wrong with this team.

This. I'm starting to really dislike watching Magic games on our own broadcast.

So...........is this who we are? was the first few weeks a mirage? are we just on a bad run? either way this isnt fun

Like if you told me in sept that we would start 8-8 i would be happy with it, but the way we started really raised my expectations only to have them shattered again

Luka Donic would be a great consolation prize.

Vogel lost the locker room last year not sure why it wouldn't happen again. You win everything is great you start losing and old wounds open.

moral of a story: Don't build your offense on 3 point shooting when one out of 5 starters is actually good at it

If it's any indication of how this team really is, I wish we didn't even have the hot start and just cranked the tank up early.

As bad as our starters are, the bench has been worse today.

Augustin/Afflalo -26 in 13 mins.

Holy crap, Rodney Hood is torching the Magic now lol.

Post #176 » by **FFBlitzace** » Sun Nov 19, 2017 1:50 am

Hood is red hot and once again just waltzes around the screen and fires in another shot. Unbelievable defense.

EP wasn't great tonight but I don't think he can really be looked at as the problem. I wouldn't put it past Vogel to make that switch again with DJ like he did last year, but it would be stupid and misguided. Our defense is terrible. Forget the players for a second, our defensive GAMEPLAN looks terrible every night. Our offensive gameplan is for EP to just hold the ball out top while he waits for Fournier to come around and receive a pass. We'd honestly probably be better off if we just didn't call plays and played streetball. Which is a terrible way to play, so that shows how awful our offensive schemes are in the halfcourt. If we could defend and rebound, we might be able to run, where our guys are actually pretty decent. But we don't defend or rebound.

Hilarious how Hood is still open. Does no one care? At this point in the game you let a guy get a free dunk off a double team before you let Hood continue to fuel the towel waving on their bench.

I take back what I said about D.J. Augustin by the way.

31 points, 7 threes +/- of +33 Rodney not Steph Curry Hood
