Idk if they showed it on tv but favorite part of the game was Vogel crumpling up a piece of paper and throwing it in the direction of players lol

Well at least it didn't take long for us to really find out who the real Orlando Magic is, it's still November.

you can't expect that your starters shoot 55% for 3 or something like that. I remember when MCW led Philly started 3-0. Than lost 20 in a row

It was not the hot start, or the high efficiency on 3, the team really looked like they bonded and that they understood their roles. They were shooting, rebounding and defending. Then, they just quit.

It was just a hot start. Based off the past, stats, and recently play it was just that.

When did you decide to bail?

A minute into the fourth. Should have left at halftime.

Which kind of sucks because I wish the tank could have started early. Oh well, here comes NBA purgatory!

yea and 10 games into a season our "stars" started to talk about shot attemps

Yeah I know, isn't that something? We play and look way better than we have for 5 years, but instead of being happy with the results on the scoreboard, we've got guys concerned about shot attempts. An unwillingness to "pass the torch," if you can even call it a torch, to AG as our best player takes priority over winning games for a couple of these guys. It's still unclear to us as spectators from the outside exactly what went down in that regard, but if it's gone the way it looks like it's gone, that's a zero tolerance type of thing for me. If I was in charge, the offenders would be gone ASAP.

I don't want to be a fan of this team.............and sadly, I know I'll still root for them and, I'll still hope that this absolute slaughter will force all of our player to play better throughout the season and still secretly despise any other opposing team fan who try and hate on our players.

That was terrible. It being tied for worst home loss in team history says it all.

Utah played with more energy all night and the players started to quit once the 3's weren't falling like we have done as of late.

This game was absolutely terrible to watch live. Stunned at the lack of ball movement and I’m a Vooch advocate... he got his ass whipped.

I spent way too long on this.

55 to 44 rebounding advantage, their front court outscoring ours by 30+. Orlando got punked and pushed around.

We got a glimpse of what this team could look like if kept on the same page... unfortunately our coach is vogel.

Unfortunately we have been and still are a very mentally weak team.

You could tell from the off that Snyder had the Jazz ready to play and not feel sorry for themselves that they lost to the Nets last night and had a late flight to Orlando.

On the other side you have Fournier and Vuc talking about how hard it is to play that first game back after a West Coast trip in the Sentinel the other day and Vogel making allowances (no shootaround etc). Stop making f***ing excuses and play the game hard. Sadly our current guys don’t have that mentality.

Vogel isn't the guy for us but man I just don't know if firing him is the way to go. This roster needs to be purged from the last regime first.

EDIT- Actually I take back what I said OrlandO. I'm ready for him to go as well.

PrimeThyme · Post #259 » by **PrimeThyme** » Sun Nov 19, 2017 2:31 am

Taking a hiatus from this team after watching that one live. Can’t take the same players on this team giving this piss poor effort year after year. Vuc should be utterly embarrassed with the effort he gave tonight. Completely annihilated on both ends of the court. Embarrassment.

The thing is the hot start will have thrown people’s expectations off. The reality is this is still a season where it’s essential that we find out if we can back the likes of Payton, Gordon, Isaac (to a lesser extent) long term. The ship has sailed on Mario.

It’s just a shame we don’t have a rotation of Payton, Oladipo, Fournier, Gordon, Isaac, Harris, Sabonis to run out there. Still quite shocking that after five years rebuilding, we have three young guys to show for it.
