Can't believe they took out Isaac for Fournier.

Gordon is so disappointing driving to the rim..

The only guy with superstar potential we have is Isaac

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.
He rarely dunks on anybody if it’s not the put back type dunk. When they drafted him I thought he was gonna be a Blake Griffin type but he uses his athleticism and ups all wrong.

I’m at peace with the Bamba/AG/Isaac/?/Fultz core for now. TONS of ‘what if’s’ in that lineup but that’s what youth is about.

Those aren't the guys that are killing us.



Yea but Magic are being killed by Siakam and Leonard and only reason why we keep forcing 2 PFs is because they are allegedly elite defenders, and him being wracked by Siakam and Leonard defeats whole purpose of their (co)existence.

Guards are utter trash but that's nothing new, and again it ties with Magic Gordon- Isaac problem ,as team has nobody on guard or wing position to handle ball and be secundary ballhandlers.

Let's go baby! If a team can back from 31 against the Champs on the road then we can do it in a much more reasonable fashion LOL let's go go magic let's do it come back time baby!

If you think those guys are playing bad defense and getting wrecked, I dont know what game you're watching. Just because that is their primary defender doesn't mean they're scoring on them all the time or that they aren't making them work for hard shots.

Umm we need to see what Fultz has in him as a starting PG, and we need an athletic pure shooter at starting 2. Keep AG and Isaac. Not sure about Vuc. Definitely see if Bamba can explode

Ross was a role player for the raptors last year and he is the magic's second best player. That should tell you something.

That was a soft foul on Kawhi, in fairness.
