Keep running the offense through him pls.


you speak like this isn't another game that's lost while vuc was off the floor. him and other starters were in the positive, while the bench like all lineups spearheaded by biyombo were all around minus 10s. not that this is a bad thing.

my guess is constantly searching new ways to nag on vuc must be every bit of exhausting as defending him on every occasion. i'm cool with it if its a coping mechanism for the current affairs related to the team though.

The frustrating part is being such a garbage team with plenty of young guys but not using them because we have our mid range marksman taking up all the field goal attempts. All while playing little to no defense and blaming teammates constantly on the court.

Only 4 FG attempts are expected outcome when you share the court with starting PG who has 1 assist in 29 minutes.


typical, when Hezonja has a good game it's all him but when he does nothing it's blame his teammates or the coaching staff for not doing anything for him.

also what does the stat assist have to do with Hezonja only shooting 4 times? Is it Augustin's fault if he found Hezonja wide open but misses the shot?


Augustin is only one example of selfishness within Orlando Magic team caused by Orlando Magic staff (coaches etc.).

oh yea, blame the coaching staff.

And when Hezonja has a good game, well, he's obviously sticking it back to them right?

A four-page game thread, and RealGM fans want losses. Hmm.

I love Orlando's starters going forward, and solving a bench is a manageable GM action.


GO MAGIC !

Nah, we have 3rd best lottery odds. It almost never ends up the same as the standings.

I do love that Simmons has shown he can score the ball this season when needed. For the price we got him on, he is a really solid player. Legit 6th man.

Wow such a short game thread. Wasn't able to watch the game so not gonna comment about it. Tank race is far from over. That game against the Spurs on Tuesday is definitely a winnable one. That stretch of tank games is gonna be mighty interesting here. Y'all try not to go at each other's necks no matter what happens lol.

it is generally frustrating how we handle our young guys, I'll give you that. but the previous game he did not take many shot attempts and generally was not involved much, and you were piling on him calling him soft because he was not taking any responsibility. before the game, you went on a spree pointing out how he was inferior to DeAndre and how funny it was that people were not getting this. then he arguably outperforms (or plays to a draw) DeAndre at the end of the game, this time you nag on him because he takes too many shots.

I kinda understand this time of year everybody is a little cranky, but I feel like most of these annoyances come down to the fact that you just don't like the guy.

It's definitely both. This year sucks, we play veterans way too long, and I've disliked him for a long time on this team.

That’s on Hezonja. He should know by now how to get himself going. Twenty five minutes is plenty to make an impact.


Only 4 FG attempts are expected outcome when you share the court with starting PG who has 1 assist in 29 minutes.

so he cant get his own shot? he can only score on assists?

Return to Orlando Magic
