Fournier for Rubio?


I don't see Utah wanting to do that deal now that they have Korver and shipped out Burks. It would have been nice though.

I missed this game, but I was tracking the score and it was enough to put me on tilt. I see Ross didn't shoot well at all, but can I still blame Evan? I'd much rather blame Evan.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Didn't watch game,but based on video and box score, Lillard got hot and Iwundu had +/- of -11 in 12 min.
Also best player fouled out. And there was no Gordon.
At least Evan shot ball well and Isaac had strong game.

Well, we're still in the playoff race after this roadtrip's nightmare. And we barely lost to the warriorss and blazers .

Stupid inbound decision
This team is dumb. Not suprisingly the last play was a turnover. Yea forget the open 3pt shooter heading toward the basket let's just pass towards our own basket....wtf stupid f****** team.

He tried to get it back off Isaac lol smh. Was his plan to dribble from behind the line with 5 secs.

All those late to’s are inexcusable.

Rebounding the ball, guarding 3 point shooters (even tho it's hard), not being afraid to pass a lot but improving the offensive execution of it.

Why does Evan always try to be the hero? Evan... this is not the Scott Skiles or Frank Vogel coached Magic and you are not our franchise player (not that we have one... which is the real problem).

Evan got us back in the game but took us right back out of it with those turnovers. Another winnable game lost. I know Portland is a really good team but this game coulda been a win. If we want to be a playoff team we gotta stop losing games like this. Even with Dam going off we are right there to win and bad mistakes in the crucial parts of the game are killing us.

Just don't have finishers. Don't have guys that can consistently help finish off close games. Glad to see the young guys making plays 16 pts for Isaac is nice he's really starting to respond to playing more minutes.

Yes the the team lost 4 of he las 5, but the Magic is still 1 1/2 games up over the current #9 seed.

The coming schedule is much more favorable, and I would think the Magic should go 12-8 over the next 20 games.

So, we're 10-12 and in the 8th spot at the moment.

I also read (to be verified?) that we've had the 6th toughest schedule so far in the NBA.

Had someone come to me in early October and said "I can offer you 10-12 after 22 having had the 6th toughest...& your currently in 8th seed" I'd have bit their hands off.

These losses have been annoying for a number of reasons but realistically speaking - I'm still very hopeful at how things are shaping.

T-Ross has been on fire, but I don't understand why every shot we get him has to be so tough. He needs some easier looks. Everything last night was curling and fading over a defender.

Have been thinking the same thing. Yes he has been on a hot streak, but can you imagine how much better he would be playing if he actually took good shots? Almost everything is off balance and with a hand in his face. I like Terrance's production as of late, but this is why he has always been known as an inconsistent player. Most players cannot sustain that level of production while playing as erratic as Terrance. Need to draw up more plays for him and see what he can do within the system. This may curb his propensity to randomly throw up shots. Then again it may not since this is who he has been for years.
