On Friday, when team CEO Alex Martins was asked about Vogel’s future, Martins responded, “We don’t deal with those issues until the season’s over.” Martins’ answer about Vogel resembled his answers late last season as speculation swirled that the team would fire Rob Hennigan as general manager. Martins ultimately fired Hennigan and one of the team’s assistant general managers, Scott Perry, less than 12 hours after the team’s season finale.

Hawks win which means if we lose out we can tie the Hawks for the third most ping pong balls. Mavs could be in there as well but a tie between the Magic and Hawks is probably our best case scenario (unless the Hawks do us a favour and win another game).

Happy birthday man! Mine always falls around the lottery - I’ve asked for the first pick every year for five years. Still waiting for my present...

Exactly what I've been worried about... playoff teams locked into their spot and resting guys. Will see the same thing with the Wizards if they lose their next game vs Boston and the Bucks beat us next game. This is why you don't let off the gas when driving the tank. Maybe we lose tonight... odds are still against us to lose, but why risk anything at this point? We're in a three-way tie for third now... we should be doing everything possible to lose out. If we manage to win one game in these final three games it's going to be a disaster.

Sorry, Ross, but I hope you brick every shot and fall asleep on defense.

Grizzlies and Hawks won so don't mess this up Magic. I'm looking forward to seeing Ross play again

Its amazing how teams are constantly “taking the night off” against us.

We will win this. Raptors always lay down against Orlando late in the season.

I hope we get blown out by 50 and Vogel gets fired at halftime.
