When they talk about MVP awards they always talk about what the team would look like without Player X to determine who means most to their success

If that same thinking holds for DPOY then Isaac’s stock in the award may be rising while he is out ...

The refs have been pretty trash. Missed a foul on Fournier's 3. Calls Vucevic for a foul while fight for Theis with the rebound. Really weird time to call that last foul given the amount of physicality in the game.

Obviously didn't need to force those last two awful 3s.
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.

That’s what happens when you have an overall soft team. Wish we blew this crap up years ago but we all know it’ll be status quo for 4 years

The unfortunate reality is that the Magic are worse than bad.

They’re boring.

A slow, unimaginative and inefficient offense that’s trudging along in the mud towards 37 wins.

The best part of it all is going to be no trades + run it back with the same cast and Fournier on $80 mill/4 years.

story of the whole season.....i'm just so tired of the way we play.....we got a center hovering around the 3 point line but we're not attacking the rim with the space.....we play slow as hell, let teams get out to big leads then all of a sudden we want to just start chucking 3's......why even do the whole "Post-up AG" thing if all it's going to do is devolve into just chucking 3's? let's just do that the whole game instead of the elementary school actions we're running

What a punk ass soft team. Mirroring their two “best” players.

Unless MCW is hurt it makes no sense that he is only getting 13 minutes. Aside from Evan, you could easily make the argument that he and Wes were are two most efficient players and yet both get way less than standard reserve minutes and it obvious Fultz is gassed at the end. Seems to me the D both those players brings tends to get the team going but yet Cliff for some reason doesn’t even seem to notice what is actually happening in a game. The refs were letting them play so you need physicality. Yet we play basically our physically weakest lineup and just like always Vooch shies away from contact.

So painful to watch.

The Magic blew this one and took bad shots down the stretch with plenty of time left on the shot clock.

Speculation these next weeks will be about The Trading Deadline and whether to buy or sell.

So is Vuc gonna man up this year or what? It seems like every time we've needed him he folds even harder. Same with Ross. Fournier's been inconsistent, but he's also been much better than both of them by far this season.

The last time Fournier had a really good season was right before his last contract.

We had 4 players tonight below the Glen Davis Line* and barely beat it as a team.


*The Glen Davis Line is my basketball version of the Mendoza Line. 1 point per shot attempt is my Glen Davis Line.
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.
