At least we play the Knicks next, but if we continue to shoot like idiots against Mitchell Robinson, we'll be in for a long night.

Not sure whats so crazy about it... needs to happen asap. Vuc should get the Kanter role imo. We will always be the same .500 type team with Vuc and Fournier playing buddy ball and the others playing side roles.

Yep. && the Bucks and Nuggets are after that. Could easily be sitting at 2-5 come Sunday morning if things continue like this.

Why is it not? It's game 3 and the defense has looked really good again.

Because Vuc and Ross played at 120% of their capabilities last year and they're both playing at about 30% this year. We banked on them at 100% for another playoff run.

It’s not happening.

It’s a waste of time to even think about it, much less actually talk about it.

Nah, Vooch is just lousy against Toronto. It's what it is for now

Knightro wrote:Vucevic is 100% NOT getting benched 4 games into the season and frankly he shouldn't.

But in theory Isaac can play 16 minutes per game as the starting PF *and* 16 MPG as the backup C and that is what the Magic should be doing moving forward.

They're both more likely to play at 100% than 30% over the course of the season obviously.

ChosenSavior wrote:Bamba has his warts no doubt but it does take time to develop as a big in the NBA. I actually like his 3 ball shot form wise better than Vucevic. He just needs to develop some confidence. One thing that I have noticed is that his offense dictates his defense. If he is getting involved on offense then his energy does pick up on the other end. He really does need to work on that body of his and his stamina though if he wants to be effective in the league.

This game falls on the horrid play of both Vucevic and Terrence Ross who sadly look like they always have prior to their contract years. Vuc has played very soft and has shown no type of leadership whatsoever. Loved that Clifford benched him, he did not deserve to go back out there. Ross so far looks like the player I really could not stand when we first acquired him via trade, a guy with horrid shot selection and suspect defensive IQ. It actually seems like he may be pressing a bit to validate his contract. Would like for Ross to just settle down and be smarter with his shot selection.

does it? maybe to be a star, but young bigs can show they belong out there. Jackson, Carter, KAT, Bagley, Ayton, Jarrett Allen, all look like they should be out there.

I kind of like the idea of JI and Aminu starting together.

Unfortunately the way AG is playing won't help his value too much. I still like the AG and DJ for DLo deal. Play Fultz, DLo, Isaac, and Aminu together

Last year it was Fournier. This year after 3 games its Vooch. The scapegoat bros have returned!

Yeah Fournier is -16.7 and Vuc -7.1 net rating. Mo is +11.9 and he's the scapegoat. It doesn't make sense

I think it would be very tempting to shake up that starting lineup. Fultz in place of Augustine seems like the most obvious choice.

Ducklett · Post #718 » by **Ducklett** » Tue Oct 29, 2019 3:12 am

It is mindblowing to me that we have 4-10 pages of "Mo is trash" when he wasn't even the worst player tonight. That goes to AG or Vuc. How do you pay these guys huge contracts to be benched because they suck? It is damn shameful. If either of these losers had a backbone, they would come out for the Raptors, the team who thrashed them in the playoffs, and give them 110%. Instead, we got losers.

Fultz and Isaac looked amazing.

Bamba played like a dolt. It is game 3 of his redshirt Freshman season. Give him a break for the love of god. If he sucks at game 70-80 this bad, then we can ship him out for a few seconds. You guys giving up on guys in year 1/2 is so stupid. You were on about Isaac the same way. Calm down and look at the real people to blame. Vuc is supposed to be THE MAN. He is a **** coward against Gasol and that is pathetic for a grown ass man. Evan still has the basketball IQ of a rock as well as DJ. You can't have the ball in your hands that long and miss open teammates 30 times a game. AG looks like he gave up on the sport entirely over the summer. Was he even working on his game? I guess he was with Kobe playing Fortnite and Apex Legends.

Rant over.

Sounded like Cliff put some blame on Vuc for his bad offense. He said, he's getting touches. Cliff can't make the baskets for him

Isaac has so much potential man...i agree with him getting spot minutes at the 5
