This team can be elite on offense if they just played the game right, stan is obssesed with defense even though we have been elite of that end since he got here and mediocre at best on offense.

Tonight, we were good with anderson, richardson and hedo on the court, and we sucked with davis and Q on the court so what did stan do? went right back to the same lineup that put him in a hole in the first place.


NO they can't. We don't have enough offensive weapons to score consistently. Compare this roster to the worst teams in the league minus Dwight and you see why we struggle to score. Indiana has better players at every position except center. Debatable between West and Anderson. Some of there backups are better than our starters. Your not going to be elite offensively with a bunch of spot up shooters that can't do much else. Until the last minute no Magic player but Dwight had even taken more than 2 free throws in this game.

Poor Stan.


what do you mean? he's doing what he's been capable of doing all night long, but he's only just been given a chance now.


Yeah, that's what I was getting at. Stan's poor decision not to play Wafer attributes to our struggles offensively. I mean, if you can't get anything going, wouldn't you plug your 'instant offense' player into the game to see what he could do?

This is gonna be SVG's downfall.

Can somebody anybody tell me why Wafer isn't playing? i just can't understand it...He is our only guard that can create his own shot....only guard with a quick first step....Probably our most Athletic guard.....I get that at times he can play out of control but does that warrant him not getting minutes when he can affect the game? We have Players out there that can't even bring the ball up from backcourt and they can make all the mistakes they want and they get consistent time.....but when offense is needed we turn to Q-Rich and Big Baby?????

A move is needed whether it's players or people in the front office Stan included.......

Stan keeps guys like Baby and Qrich in the rotation, because he's loyal. Probably to his own fault, but yeah he's been like that since Day 1.

A friend of mine made a good point that this looks just like the Carmelo situation in Denver. Just trade Dwight for what you can and see if the new team can gel in time for the playoffs. Denver is playing a lot better and a lot smoother without Melo being there. Maybe we can be the same

Dwight means sooo much more to Orlando than Carmelo ever did for Denver. Plus, look at the Knicks playing without Carmelo recently...

I like Marshall more, but I'd take Teague or Kabongo. Kabongo has the most upside, but he's not NBA ready.
