Watch Clifford fall in love with the veteran Mason and bring Cole off the bench when he comes back from injury. I'm only like 25% joking here, which scares me.
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.

MCW is supposed to be back soon. I’d imagine he slides right into the PG mix if Anthony is significantly hurt.

soooo if this FO doesn't cash in on Fournier considering how our season has gone then they don't get it.

He meant fade, he was probobly just drunk. I know I was when I regularly watched these guys.

Fadr for (Muqtada al-)Sadr? At least that guy has some passion and fight in him. He wouldn't do well at basketball though lol.

Happy with the losses. But not happy with the injuries, and what more did Mo have to do last game to earn more minutes. Not only do you not play him in a lost season which is stupid by itself, but he actually plays well in garbage time which theoretically earns someone more minutes. Oh I forgot, our starting C is Hakeem and backup is Ben Wallace. No room for Mo to play.

Well compared to Mo he’s Hakeem so... Mo should be playing though.

I think it's because we don't have any other Decent offensive threats other than Vucevic.

Try throwing out a bunch of Bench Warmers and first year players out there and it's going to look like a complete **** show.

It appears that Vuc asked to stay in the game to try and drag the Magic into a win which did not happen. Situations like this, the coach needs to protect the player from himself.

Right, we keep doing that and all we'd be getting is another name on injured list.

Clifford had no problem running Kemba into the ground either. This situation is no different.

It was surprising since Cliff is supposedly a "hard nosed" coach... one would thought... I should not play him and let him rest since this team is decimated with injuries. I don't care if Vooch would have pouted or kicked a chair... You at least protecting your player from an injury. The Media session, i think Orlando Magic Daily specifically asked him about what was the decision to play Vooch the whole 2nd half and then backtracked with the follow up question about Vooch's toughness or something like that... wait what?

If Mason shows a 35% three-ball, I am all for Anthony learning NBA ball by being a key sixth man.
