To me Garland is and will be the better player. Long term, Sexton is likely a 6th man microwave. Garland has a bit of Lillard in him and can run the offense.

As a Magic fan, I can tell you that they draft like crap every year. Hire crappy coaches, and overpay terrible FAs

Edwards is trash.

Blow both franchises up. Restock the G league with these bums.

I feel for you as a fan. The question is...why even bother? Why bother with the franchise even being there? The last time they were a serious contender Shaq hadn't played with Kobe yet. Contract them, the T-wolves and about a half dozen other teams.

This is the last two minutes of "Action" per Gamecast:

3:18 Magic Full timeout 81 - 91
3:21 Terrence Ross defensive rebound 81 - 91
3:24 Josh Okogie misses 25-foot three point jumper 81 - 91
3:29 Jordan McLaughlin defensive rebound 81 - 91
3:32 Nikola Vucevic misses driving layup 81 - 91
3:52 D'Angelo Russell out of bounds bad pass turnover 81 - 91
4:03 Aaron Gordon turnover 81 - 91
4:03 Aaron Gordon offensive foul 81 - 91
4:20 shot clock turnover 81 - 91
4:37 Terrence Ross enters the game for Cole Anthony 81 - 91
4:37 D'Angelo Russell enters the game for Jaden McDaniels 81 - 91
4:37 Timberwolves Full timeout 81 - 91
4:44 Malik Beasley defensive rebound 81 - 91
4:45 Nikola Vucevic misses 25-foot three point jumper 81 - 91
4:53 James Ennis III defensive rebound 81 - 91
4:55 Naz Reid misses 28-foot three point jumper 81 - 91
5:10 Josh Okogie defensive rebound 81 - 91
5:13 Evan Fournier misses 25-foot three point jumper 81 - 91
5:18 Nikola Vucevic defensive rebound 81 - 91
5:20 Aaron Gordon blocks Jordan McLaughlin 's 3-foot dunk 81 - 91

A bunch of misses by a bunch of complete stiffs. Maybe some of these guys are good. It doesn't matter. Bunch of stiffs.

Well, not that far back

They did make the finals with Dwight, and had some really good teams in those years. They just need to get the hiring right up top, and start drafting better.

Probably need to trade off players now that have value like Gordon, Vucevic, and Ross

JMarchand1981 · 01-20-2021, 10:12 PM

Look at that!

Wolves have a full timeout. They come back and then have a shot clock violation.

Magic ball? Some other stiff with an offensive foul. This is absurdity.

Trae needed this

Id be scouring G League for these types of players and adding them asap

As I typed it, I was wondering if Dwight got them there. I was just too lazy to look and took my chances that he didn't. My apologies.

No apologies needed. They suck

brothertona · 01-20-2021, 10:15 PM

Pistons were up 17, and the Hawks won by 8. Capela and Collins are so good together.

Insane

Young: 38 and 10 assists
Collins: 31 and 11 rebounds
Capela: 27, 26 rebounds, 5 blocks

Am I reading this correctly? he's 163rd in 3PT% this season? Isn't that his bread and butter?

No defense

No 3s

Now what is he?

This aged well.

I always just go back to the fact that the whole team defers to Sexton..that’s meaningful in my eyes, and part of what makes Sexton the Alpha despite his limitations as a passer...everyone knows he cares the most and works the hardest, which matters to those around him and also results in improvement as we’ve seen..

For the record, I have the over in this game. In reality, I should be mad with myself for not taking the under, right? However, It is just easier to think that both teams involved should be contracted.

Show me where the Chia pet hurt you.

YayNJ · 01-20-2021, 10:20 PM

Glad to see Nunn showing what he can do.

He's wasted at the Heat

MIRRABB · 01-20-2021, 10:22 PM

I've got nothing against Blake Griffin, seems like a good dude and great example for younger players, but his rapid decline is fascinating. At this point he borderline shouldn't be playing in the NBA. He moves like he's wearing a 40 lb. backpack running in quicksand.

spurs50fan · 01-20-2021, 10:23 PM

Leash seems to be long for Keldon vs the other young players

Yeah, he's pretty terrible.

JMarchand1981 · 01-20-2021, 10:25 PM

Wow. Magic won the game. Under pays. Contract them anyway.
