2020-2021 Regular Season Game 14: Orlando Magic (6-7) at New York Knicks (6-8)

[SOUL]

For those “literally 50 examples” I can counter with a heckuva lot more.

Honestly, though, this is just the frustration taking. It’s too early to come to any conclusions.

Well, yeah, of course. This is my only point. He has to improve on a lot like many of these rookies. And efficiency is the hardest thing to learn coming straight into the league because they don't know where to pick their spots.

I’ve watched almost every game in this God-forsaken season. I was actually somewhat excited to see what Cole could do with extended minutes. I now know the answer, and the answer is “very, very little.” He doesn’t look like an NBA player. If someone told me Bone was the first rounder and Cole came in from the D-league, I’d believe it.

I don’t see them doing anything about it, as they’ll just use the injuries to excuse the results.

This FO desperately needs to be picking no later than 3rd to be able to secure a good player in a draft. Why? Because even by making a dumb pick, the margin of error is do much more forgiving in that range. These bozos don’t know how to find talent in the ides of the first round - eg Chuckin Cole Antny and Rock Me Bukake.

I'm guessing you mean Bamba, what do you mean by that rock me...comment?

talking about coaching while your starting PG is shooting 30% , your backup PG would not land starting gig on any Euroleague team, your backup PF would struggle to start in G league is simply missleading and pretty much delusional.

We suck, Clifford isn't saint, but nobody can get anything from roster that has 3 NBA players in it.

This is accurate and I completely agree but I doubt that the results would have been different if this team was completely healthy. They have been bad going on 6 years now.

I feel so bad for AG and Vuc. They are playing so hard (AG's statline today was eye catching, I thought I misread it twice).

Nostalgia and OT-ish time..

To those older fans like me... do you guysbget the vibe of the tmac,ghill, mike miller days? In terms of injury i mean?

We were so hopeful at the start of the season then we get plagued by injuries. Any given night we hear the good news that ghill can suit up but get the soul crushing ne2s that tmac injured sonething.. then when tmac and miller is good to go, we had the usual ghill ankle issues and etc.so we never really got to see consistent time together with them.

Same with our enviroment now.. we got mellow with JIs time off then got crushed with Fultz season ender.. then evan mcw and even bambas covid news either contact tracing or infection.

I mean its a parallel thing. Every game night, our good players suiting up is abreaking news.m the only sure players playing are the scrubs doleac, pat, white hammer, bone,clark... you get the drift?

Still out due to COVID I believe.

Did he get it again? Or is he a close contact?

Close contact so they held him away from the team while he is in quarantine.

This is really sad for him. If anything, players who dont have opportunities should be taking advantage of every opportunity they get. Because one starter out due to injury or covid, it is already their opportunity to shine. Bamba should take advantage.

I've been surprised with the way Julius Randle has stepped up his game this year. Kudos to him

Apparently this was the Knicks first BtB set of wins in three years.

Go MAGIC !

Like I said a few game threads ago, even if we started tanking like everyone wants...people would still be pissed about losing. Doesn't really make any sense. This is what is supposed to be happening. We can't have everyone play perfect basketball and still lose every game.

Actually everything is going pretty well. Vuc and AG are playing well enough to up there trade value, and Magic are destined for a high draft pick.
