| Quote: | | Well don't know about anyone else, but I'm expecting us to bounce back here in LA and win. Much better team then them. |
| Quote: | | Magic win, get out to early big lead as Jodie torches his old team. No home game, No lady ref, no problem. |
| Quote: | | Let's start the road trip off with a Win! |
1st half
| Quote: | | Nice play by Evan to start us off. |
| Quote: | | lol that one guy screaming MVP for Mozgov. |
| Quote: | | Biz's post defense has been an issue the whole season. Fournier should up his defense as well, 2 mistakes already. |
| Quote: | | Evans defense has been laughable so far tonight |
| Quote: | | Fournier dishing well once in the paint... of course LA sucks in there, but still good to see. |
| Quote: | | Laker bigs abusing us down low so far. |
| Quote: | | I feel like AG still gets rookie calls. |
| Quote: | | The defensive effort is pathetic. |
| Quote: | | Holy F Evan.... STOP THE BALL AFTER !!!YOU!!! TURN IT OVER!!! |
| Quote: | | EP would have been benched 3 times for the **** Evan has pulled tonight. |
| Quote: | | Lmao thr defense. Guys clearly don't care anymore. |
| Quote: | | Their defense is terrible somehow ours is worse. |
| Quote: | | 40 points. This team could care less. Enough said. |
| Quote: | | Kiss that Playoff dream goodbye for anybody that still had faith. |
| Quote: | | You cannot win in this league with this kind of defensive effort night in and night out. |
| Quote: | | Guys this is a joke loool we about to give you 40 to the *****ing Lakers in the first quarter. |
| Quote: | | The guys looked capable of playoff defense to start the year. We look like top 5 pick defense for a while now. Gotta wonder what's going on. |
| Quote: | | 40 points to a really bad Lakers team. Lakers got everything they wanted in the paint. |
| Quote: | | Quote: | | When this team was built to be a defensive powerhouse and we just gave up 40 points in the first quarter to the Lakers, something is going wrong. |
That's the sad thing about it...
You would think with a line-up of Payton/Gordon/Ibaka/Biyombo would put up some resistance. They just completely blow on that side of the ball. Crazy thing is the best/consistent defender on this team is probably Nikola Vucevic... |
| Quote: | | Serious question, how can the defense even be this ridiculously bad? Vogel is the coach, allegedly good defensive players Biyombo, Ibaka and Gordon in the starting lineup? (Can't even claim Payton is a good defender even more -- he is obviously a big part of the problem, as Vogel has pointed out). |
| Quote: | Did anybody else see Serge tell Evan to pass and then Evan hit the backboard.
Evan turned around and clearly said shut the ***** up Serge just shut the ***** up loool.
Terrible. Pass the *****ing ball Evan |
| Quote: | | Enough. Just deem this as a failure and start over. Soft. That's what we are. Untalented soft ass basketball team. |
| Quote: | | How can we go from being such a great defensive team to this? I just don't get it. |
| Quote: | | I am so sad we are contractually locked in to this team for a while. |
| Quote: | | Vuc to slow to avoid fouling, too soft to force a miss. Plays like a female dog. |
| Quote: | | Ingram has such sleepy eyes. Looks like a chronic blazer. |
| Quote: | | Getting sick of Biz tbh. |
| Quote: | | Augustin brick then gingerly jogs back on defense. |
| Quote: | | I thought we brought in defense this season? If so where is it? |
| Quote: | | This is the chit that kills me with Vogels lineups. He runs the Biyombo-Vuc lineup to death every single game. It gets a little run at first then he sticks with it way to long and they make a run. |
| Quote: | | Vuc would play much better if he wore shoes that weren't made of concrete. |
| Quote: | | Jeff Green wishing the road trip was over already. He wants to go back to the hotel room and sleep. |
| Quote: | | So glad Evan is back....said nobody. |
| Quote: | | Hating the Biyombo signing more and more by the second. |
| Quote: | | Quote: | | I get so frustrated when Gordon settles for jump shots instead of attacking the rim. |
He should be trying to attack against the lakers... one of the worst in the league at paint protection. |
| Quote: | | JEFF GREEN SHOULD NOT BE IN THE NBA |
| Quote: | | Good job EP. Shame people still think you suck. |
| Quote: | | great two-way play by elf... hustled his ass off to go after the loose ball instead of just watching and then nailed a tough shot in transition. |
2nd half
| Quote: | | That's what I want you to do more AG. Make things happen in the paint. |
| Quote: | | Hilarious and smart. Luke went to a 2-3 zone on us. |
| Quote: | | Can't throw it in the ocean. Looks like a typical third quarter. |
| Quote: | | If we had the same roster as the Lakers we'd probably be using Deng as our first option. |
| Quote: | | How did Vuc become such a **** free throw shooter???!!?!! |
| Quote: | | Quote: | | Please can we just start the tank up. This basketball is beyond unwatchable. It's just pathetic. Trade who ever needs to be traded give heavy minutes to elf,ag,mario & biz and get a top 5 pick this offseason. This season has been a complete disaster again just like last and I don't see it changing anytime soon. Smh it rrally sucks to be a magic fan now a days. |
Hate to say it but we should've brought out the tank about 15 games ago |
| Quote: | | Mosgov just said to the ref: My father is Putin, you know him? He say go easy on Mosgov or else I get his cousin Trump. |
| Quote: | | Me when I sip my beer and read that we should make the playoffs and not blow it up/tank for a good player Link |
| Quote: | | 2-18 fg #PureMagoc |
| Quote: | | I hate this season. |
| Quote: | | Nothing better than watching Vuc and Jeff chuck up long 2's. This is going to be a very long road trip. I don't see a win |
| Quote: | | Ingram's legs scare me, they are like twigs. Hopefully he can put some muscle on them, they look like a bad broken leg waiting to happen. |
| Quote: | | 2/19 in the quarter for 8 points. Yuck. |
| Quote: | | Green get off the team |
| Quote: | | Vuc looks like a fish out of water when trying to get position against anyone who isn't a complete (bleep). |
| Quote: | | I like Brandon Ingram... he hustles hard |
| Quote: | | Nobody gives a real Damn on this team. Body language says it all. Scumbags |
| Quote: | | 9 pts... in the 3rd... Professional Basketball Players and only 9pts |
| Quote: | | It's so sad that Mario can't see minutes on this less than average roster. He's played well the last few times he's seen the court. We are losing with Jeff green in there anyways so why not play Mario |
| Quote: | | Green, DJ and Meeks on the court at the same time. Is this real life? |
| Quote: | | Quote: | | Quote: | | The thought process in giving green minutes over Mario is mind boggling. I'm trying to find a reason but nothing. |
The sad thing is Green is legitimately a better player than Mario right now. That's the depressing part. |
Nobody can be worse then Green. He is just an awful and useless player. It scares me that we keep this same lineup and rotation. |
| Quote: | | Just change ownership and move the damn team to Seattle already. |
| Quote: | | Its raining 3s! for the lakers... |
| Quote: | | jeff green making ingram look like durant |
| Quote: | | Even my stream didn't want to watch the Magoc anymore. It just went to a Time Warner On Demand screen and is just frozen there lol. |
| Quote: | | Only the Magic could make this Lakers defense look elite. |
| Quote: | | We're trying to win and we lose. Atlanta is trying to tank and they are winning. |
| Quote: | | I don't see how not playin mario is helping him. If I was him my confidence would be shattered. |
| Quote: | | How do you get blown out by the lakers. JEFF GREEN SHOULD NOT BE IN THE NBA |
| Quote: | | What happened to the supposed "over confidence" Frank has in his players according to Indiana fans? I guess it only applies to the Evan Fourniers and Jeff Greens of the world |
| Quote: | | Can we just switch rosters with LA? |
| Quote: | | I dont care how good of a game Vuch is having jacking up a three with 18 seconds on the clock gets your ass pulled! Run some sort of offense! |
| Quote: | | This is disgusting. |
| Quote: | | Can we put the best PG on our team back n the game already? Midget Augustin isn't doing anything. |
| Quote: | | Look at his face. Ibaka is bailing the moment the season ending buzzer sounds. I don't blame him either. Hate to say it but we need to start gauging value for him. Sucks bc he is a good guy and solid NBA player. If only we had a competent FO that knows how to put a roster together. |
| Quote: | | Vogel isn't really a good coach it's all hype... |
| Quote: | | Get these quitters off the damn team. Release them for nothing for all I care. Way too many games were guys have just flat out quit. |
| Quote: | | How was last year worse than this people? We ended up 35-47 last year. That seems like a pipedream ending for this year. |
| Quote: | | Fournier is not far off from Jeff Green in my hate meter. |
| Quote: | | Lakers about to chuck us into the game |
| Quote: | | Serge at the 5 and AG at the 4 and all the sudden ball movement gets better, spacing improves, and the lead is cut. Shocking |
| Quote: | | I don't know what's worse. Allowing 40 points to the Lakers in one quarter or only scoring 10 against them in another. |
| Quote: | | Is it just me or is Vogel balding at a high rate this year? |
| Quote: | | Remember when we thought Vogel was an upgrade? Yea that was fun.... |
| Quote: | | Idk what's more trash, our team or the Lakers overly biased tv broadcasters |
| Quote: | This is the nail in the coffin for the season exactly the same as we lost to these Laker punks last year lool
|
| Quote: | | LMAO! Did he really sit AG and bring Meeks back in?!! Lolololololopol |
| Quote: | | Only we can find a way to make assets turn into garbage.... Vuc, Jeff Green, CJ Watson, etc. |
| Quote: | | So AG gets benched so we can ride our trash vets in the fourth quarter in another losing effort. I don't know what to say about Vogel anymore man |
| Quote: | | We are tanking while trying to make the playoffs lol |
| Quote: | | Did Fournier die and come back Duhon in his own body? |
| Quote: | | lakers development way ahead of ours |
| Quote: | | Thats our go to guy. Slow unathletic white guys. We are awesome. |
| Quote: | | I enjoyed that Randle block and I'm not afraid to say it. |
| Quote: | | Still don't get why Fournier can do anything he wants and plays the whole game but I accept some things in life I'll never understand. |
| Quote: | | Elfrid and AG on the bench discussing their next NBA destinations. |
| Quote: | | In other news. One step closer to LA's '19 pick. |
| Quote: | | Time to give it up idiots. Get these trash ass veterans off the team and give the team to our **** lottery picks. |
| Quote: | | I'm so tired of having to stretch my imagination to see us as even sniffing "good". |
| Quote: | | Great loss, a win against the Lakers giving them a higher chance at a top 3 pick and losing our '19 LAL first would have been pure stupidity. |
| Quote: | | Nothing makes you more depressed about the future of this franchise than watching Dj, Jeff green, and Meeks out there in a loss while our 3 top ten draft picks AG, Elf, and Mario ride the bench. |
| Quote: | | In 30 seconds Mario had twice as many rebounds as Jeff Green in 24 minutes. |

With individual, reputable talent, it's understandable.
But their guys aren't ascending or progressing like the Laker squad.

And they play in the East, where only 3 teams are worth a crap.
if they played in the West, with 7 good teams, they'd probably have a lot fewer wins

I was expecting Elfrid Payton to come back to Earth after shooting lights out in the first game but what happened to that defense that blocked nine of our shots in the first quarter the last time we played?
I'd forgotten Mario Hezonja was even on that team. 5th overall pick last year and he's only seeing garbage time.

Can they trade Ibaka to us for Mozgov? He will be closer to the Cavs that way, playing them 4 times a year so he won't miss them that much!!!

No there wasn't, thought about making one but their game thread on real GM was wack too many gifs of Wade vs Kobe not enough actual basketball talk
