I'm really torn on Porzingis as a player. His shot selection makes me cringe at times.

Wooow, this place is bumping right now. Magic play, Doncic in the house, our own All-Star having a nice game so far...and no posts, no one complaining about Bamba or Cliff, no enthusiasm at all. This is only the second post...woow speechless.

Maybe we set a new inactivity record on the forum in a game thread tonight. My prediction is 2-3 pages in total.

It's been this way at times through the tanking years. Right now we don't even have young players to watch and get excited about. Bamba barely gets 10 minutes a game. Isaac/Fultz are hurt. Chuma is fine. Same roster of vets.

Just not enough incentive for people to watch games. I struggle making it past halftime.

Birch over Bamba.

The fans are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

[MaKiaVeLi7]

Right, exactly how I feel. I'm totally sick and tired of being sick and tired of the MAAAAGIC BASKETBALL.

Still, here I am supporting the losers in blue, trying to find justification for losing and motivation to root for a close home loss for the tank.

We became as pathetic as fans exactly as this pathetic franchise. Just sad!

If any of the rumors of Mavs interest in Bamba are even 10% true, it might be better if Cuban and his FO do not watch Bamba play in person. He might hurt his value. Let him be a mystery for the other FOs and let 'em believe he's just underachieving unpolished diamond ignored by the dumb Magic staff.

Also Mavs are playing fast, rushing on every occasion. Not exactly Bamba's style of play.

Might be my least favorite Magic team of all time

[Showbiz Bear]

Goddamn Birch has no clue how to kick it back out after an OREB

And I genuinely will always hate watching Aminu and Bacon play basketball

Like I'm just sitting here and truly have no idea what I want out of this game. A loss would be cool I guess, but every part of me knows AG will be brought back, nobody will be moved at the deadline, && this team will end the season with meaningless wins to not secure top 5 odds.

I don't really care if we win either tho. I'm just apathetic towards this team as a whole right now. I need something to give me hope.

Yeah! Birch is playing lights out. Great choice.

GARY CLARK AT THE SCORERS TABLE

THRILLING....EXCITING....INSPIRING

[3ddman23]

Man how bad how's Clark been? It's pretty unbelievable he can't do the one thing he is suppose to do.

[ChosenSavior]

I am glad that I am about to head out for my birthday dinner than endlessly complaining about how crappy Clifford's rotations are. I am with SOUL, this is easily the 1st time I have been this apathetic about the Magic. This team is very uninspiring.

[ChosenSavior]

Trey Burke killing the Magic per par.

[3ddman23]

Good ole trey Burke the magic killer
