Playoffs G3: Toronto Raptors (2) @ Orlando Magic (7) - A Reptile Dysfunction

Post #541 » by **ChosenSavior** » Sat Apr 20, 2019 12:58 am

I still believe that Orlando has one more run in them but Clifford cannot mess up with these rotations anymore and get these guys to run some better offense. That was such a disappointing 3rd because we should have been able to maintain the lead.

I was really happy for Vuc and Evan to make the playoffs but I'm definitely done with them. They are guys who just don't have enough talent or natural athletic ability to perform in the playoffs.

He would be. That is why it bothers me that people say AG has potential. Siakam is true potential.

Gordon is so disappointing driving to the rim..

The only guy with superstar potential we have is Isaac

Yep

Hope this series opens our management’s eyes to what the real NBA is

This next quarter could be the series and the season. Let’s see how this goes.

Everybody is tentative to do the next play. Pass, shoot, dribble and attack it all needs to be a read a react game. That indecisiveness is costing us getting the open look time and time again.

If anything has been exposed in the playoffs it is the real lack of shooting and playmaking on this team. We all knew this was the weakness going into the season. The defensive prowess of the team has shined through for the most part. And a top 10 defense was good enough to make the playoffs. But this team will have to find a way to add some shooting and playmaking in the off-season. I'm not really putting any stock into Fultz. The Magic are going to have to use the draft and trades to make some adjustments.

Been exposed

We only turned it over once in that quarter, but the defense disappeared. Mostly Fournier, who also still hasn't made a shot. Terrible defense and 0-8 with 2 turnovers. Just not NBA caliber right now, let alone starter on a team trying to win a playoff game.

Siakam is older than Gordon.

still shows more potential.

This series just shows what we all know. We need someone that can get the ball and make plays by himself

They are only a year apart and Siakam just has so much talent and that it factor.

Our only chance is that Fultz fully recovers.

Lol. Don’t like those chances of Fultz “shouldering” our offense.

I’m keeping my expectations low but it’s hard not to get excited about his potential.

We need a Kemba Walker, or an Oladipo.

Weird continuation rules this game.

Somewhat off-topic, but this has been bothering me for a while. Why does a guy like AG with such freaky athleticism hardly ever dunk through/over people (or at least draw fouls while trying)? I mean he has nice highlights but most of them are hardly contested by defenders at all, so loads of guys in the league could make those plays, just less flashy versions of them. He needs to apply his gifts more.

This is still a series. Clifford needs to be tighter with his Subs. But i wouldn't lose hope just yet Orlando

Now Vuc should've kept playing.
