The 2020 Orlando Magic Vent Thread

Let your annoyance/anger out here.

Be forewarned: This thread will be heavily moderated by me. This isn't intended for any sort of debates/arguments or wishing any sort of injury or ill will on players, anything else is pretty much fine. I'd just rather the frustration be aired out here instead of all over the forum.

"I heard your bench needed some scoring punch? lol"

I just heard Robbins dump on Bamba not being able to guard Len but he didn't see Len score on Vuc 3 consecutive times? Plus all the other layups he gave up. Out of the 10 or 11 drives against Vuc i only remember 1 stop.

Sad thing is, he has more balls than almost everyone else on this team. I'll exclude Isaac cause he's a beast, and Fultz and Bamba since they're still really young and coming off of major injuries.

It is easy to kick the team while they are down. I would like to see some of the pro-playoff players come in and tell us why we are still a playoff team.

Robbins is desperate to get Clifford to trash Bamba. It's really stupid. Why not trash Ross who has been abysmal. And plays more minutes and gets more shots and has a much larger impact on the game, good or bad, by virtue of his usage.

Sadly, the bottom of the East is so bad, we are a playoff team here. The idiots in the FO will just use that as proof to keep their jobs even when we finish as the 8th seed with only 33 wins. Hopefully a team with some hope and talent like the Bulls can overtake us for that spot. We need to change stuff. People have to go and the FO needs to be fired if they think this is acceptable.

I remember him making pro comments about playing Birch over Bamba early in the year too. So you're right he doesn't waste a chance to knock Bamba to Clifford.

I've seen enough boys. My new year's resolution is to end this destructive relationship I have with our basketball team. They showed us this entire decade they don't care and here we are going into 2020 putting up with the same ****.

I'm not sold on a single thing regarding this team. Starting with basketball operations. If they can show me they are serious about competing for something more then a lowly 8th seed and make a serious trade maybe they can reel me back in but until then I think ive seen enough.

Shoutout to all the great posters on this board. Hopefully, something changes sooner rather than later.

Watch on YouTube

"Did ya'll see, did ya'll see, we got Nik Vucevic back? Did anybody see that? Did you see the move Jeff Weltman pulled off? Did anybody see what Jeff Weltman pulled off for the Orlando Magic!? Did anybody see what he did!? We got Nik Vucevic back. So now we got a BEAST to throw the ball down low to. They scared now!"

I agree. I am sold on Isaac though. I love Fultz so far and Bamba is definitely getting better, but not sold on them yet. Everyone else, I'm just done with them. You can't lose to trash cans twice in one season. You can't. This game is eye opening. You have to make a ballsy move from time to time if you want to be great in this league.

The last two games might prove that AG is more valuable than he gets credit for.

No way, he's a big part of the problem. The Hawks won because we couldn't score to save our lives. AG definitely would not help with that. The two bums who went off were both positions AG doesn't guard. PG and C. So he wouldn't have changed a damn thing.

Blow it up. Get AG, Fournier, Vuc, Ross, DJ outta here. I love all those guys, but they gotta go.

AG's defense is important but he's our biggest trade chip I think, and his skillset does overlap with Isaac too much so I think it is a move we will have to make.

But yeah, just tired of seeing this ceiling-ed offense.

Ross and DJ are the two I'm most open to keeping because they're good role players off the bench who can shoot. Mostly Ross. But we absolutely need to change. This is unacceptable.

The thing that pisses me off is that I know those idiots in the FO are just thinking, "derp, we only lost this game because we have injuries to AG, MCW, and Aminu, Herp Derp." Knowing full well that we should've blown the wheels off that team and with them suffering an even bigger loss than us.

The playoffs is very much a possibility, the bottom of the east is so bad.

I haven’t cared about wins and losses for a while with this team, but Isaac being played as a 6th option is incredibly frustrating.

Bunch of idiots running this thing
