NBA Playoffs Thread (non-Magic games discussion)

[OnlyFranz22]

Lebrons last game in LA?

KDs last game in PHX?

Klays last game in GSW?

NBA offseason never disappoints.

Magic still have some work to do though!

Yeah.....we deserve to win this series

Didnt we win game 1?

Wow Vuc deserves much respect. Carrying those bums to the POs and even winning 1 game. He is like Tmac.

Zach Lowe literally had a "love letter to the Orlando Magic" segment on ESPN and has written multiple articles on us over the years that no other ESPN person was touching. Not sure the "vibe" you're getting but it's just off.

He was one of the few people also bringing up Isaac's defense on ESPN as well.

It seems fake to me. He promotes every team at some point.

He said Isaac is THE best defender in the NBA and it’s not close. He’s taken notice. He actually mocks the “obligatory “ Laker updates

It's awkward how good FVV, OG Anunoby, and Siakam make their teams and yet the raptors were mid af

[eyriq]

They put Pacers Bucks on national TV over us

I think we are underestimating how good our defense is.

Just like we probably look at the greener grass of a FVV offense and wonder why we can't have both?

I'm not sure we can without imploding our identity or a lot of "give".

That screams Dejounte Murray to me…among viable targets

this morning on Get Up, apparently the only sporting thing that happened yesterday was the Knicks game. the only other mention was Caleb Williams and the Bears.

FVV is a very good defender.

FVV is an example of a "want to have both" but reality is I think we end up paying a cost one way or another for that. IE a lot of "give".

Spoelstra Magic run out in game 2?

Just goes to show how much personnel and shooting matters.. Mazulla ain't a mastermind lol

[RookieStar]

Yeah... wonder what MIA will do in the offseason. Hope qe are the top dogs in our division next seqson again.

[3ddman23]

Like this Is what in talking about with the heat and spo. Why does he never get the blame when they look like complete dog ish 4 out of the 5 games but the 1 game they shoot berserk from 3( game 2) and steal the game is all about how much of a mastermind coach he is... it was the same way in the finals run last year. He just gets to much praise when things are good but not enough blame and things look out of whack.

I think you're on the right track, but looking at it completely wrong.. this shows how little coaches can impact the game if guys can't make shots. You can have the best playcalls and schemes and come away with a blow out if one single person misses rotations or if your best players are having an off game.. .I'd say a huge part of being a coach nowadays is building a culture and having people buy in. Coaches can show off late game with specific play calls they've been hiding but other than that.. 90% of this is dictated by how the players are shooting or defending.

Magic officially with a better season than the Lakers, Pelicans, Heat and Suns so far, heyoooo

[tooler]

The Heat shooting 3-29 from 3PT is a good reminder before our game 6 that anything can happen in any game.

I know what they WONT do…discuss organic development as the path forward

They rather ask for lopsided trades ( Dame for Herro plus picks?? ) or draft 24 yr old rookies....
