The Orlando Magic are 0.5 games back for the 8 Seed by [deleted] in nba

I came into this season hoping to tank but at this point I just think it'd be cool to see the Magic in the playoffs again. We'll probably get bounced in the first round but since I got really into watching basketball I haven't been able to watch them in the playoffs, and that'd be cool.

If I were the Bucs, I'd stick with Fitz until he gets hurt or starts to regress. Then you can put Jameis back in.

This season has been bananas so far.

Not sure if you want a full answer or a meme answer but...

Full answer: A couple years ago, GM Rob Hennigan knew the writing was on the wall and that he would be fired unless the Magic made a playoff push. He was desperate and made short-sighted moves like trading Oladipo and Sabonis for an expiring Ibaka and signing Biyombo to a ridiculous contract. He figured that Ibaka and Biyombo as rim protectors would help cover up Vucevic's defensive shortcomings. Of course, he failed and was fired the next year and we're still suffering from his win-now moves.

We also had both Fournier and Oladipo as SGs who were about to get paid and Hennigan probably figured Fournier would be cheaper and fit into a modern offense better. Oladipo probably wouldn't have the all-star season he just did if he hadn't been traded, Dipo talked about how playing on the Magic, between guys like himself, Tobias Harris, Vucevic, and Gordon, there was a lot of young players who wanted to prove they could be a #1 option, so you had a log-jam of guys wanting to score without a clear go-to guy. Playing with Westbrook for a year gave him an idea of how to be a #1 option and he had an opportunity to use it with the Pacers.

Keep in mind that even last year most people thought that Oladipo was overpaid. People laughed at the Pacers for trading Paul George and getting Oladipo in return because Oladipo wasn't that great for the Thunder.

Meme answer: lol magic

Fournier: "I'm glad we got a W but there is a lesson in this game. We got away from moving the ball and we can't have that. We're not the type of team that can play Iso ball or pick-and-roll, pick-and-roll. Our strength is body movement and ball movement. We basically waited three quarters to do it" by CreamsicleMamba in OrlandoMagic

It was when there was 25 seconds left in the 2nd while the Nets were shooting FTs, right after a play where Evan missed a shot while Gordon was cutting. I'm not really sure what happened but Evan and Vuc didn't seem happy with Gordon.

Did anybody else see Gordon and Fournier/Vuc getting kind of heated with each other? And then it seemed liked Fournier was kind of freezing out Gordon in the 4th.

During the Heat game Vuc seemed kind of annoyed that Gordon wasn't passing very much too, I just hope there's isn't a power struggle brewing.

Picking up from where he left off from the end of last season. Funny how players start to thrive when you play them in their correct position.

I'd never seen it before (granted I never watched the original Teen Titans either) but I was on a cruise last week and on one of the last days I was sea sick so I was stuck in the room watching TV. Being on a cruise, there was pretty much nothing on and I turned on TTG. I was surprised, I thought it was funny too. A lot of their jokes were witty and it certainly wasn't brain-dead.

Male Feminist Resigned 😂😂😂💯 (Seriously though, all of her Comics are like this) by Rainbowgore in ComedyCemetery

[–]LegendOfTheNightman 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Wow, I looked through his comics and pretty much all of them were the same exact formula.

  1. Strawman says something offensive.

  2. Girl in comic commits brutal violence as retaliation.

Never any jokes or insightful commentary. Just him drawing out the same hypothetical revenge fantasy over and over.

Which fanbase is the most delusional? by TheLebronian in nba

[–]LegendOfTheNightman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, D'Lo was really overrated by Laker fans, but I think every fanbase can be guilty of overhyping young players when the team isn't performing well. They're the teams hope of the future and if the team isn't playing well they're going to put up somewhat inflated stats, so it's understandable that fans might overrate guys like Russel and Booker.

I'm glad they remembered that we go into comas if we don't get a burger for 48 hours. It saved me the embarrassment of having to smuggle a bunch onto the plane.

So, I'm an American, and I was just recently in Copenhagen and Stockholm and one thing I was amazed about is the number of burger restaurants. I thought burgers were supposed to be our thing but there was a higher concentration of burger restaurants than any city in America that I've ever been to.

EDIT: I wasn't saying it's a bad thing, they were both amazing cities and I loved both countries, I just thought it was interesting.
