Magic are gonna be my east coast team.. they are really fun to watch and no one knows anything about them. How underrated is Vucevic?
Gotta applaud Orlando and Vucevic but what's up with the atrocious crunchtime execution by the Clippers?
Vucevic is amazing. Philly really screwed themselves. I've been impressed with Blake Griffin's improved jump shot. He definitely logged some hours practicing it in the offseason.
It wasn't so bad. They got a wide open three from Redick and a wide open layup from Paul, just didn't make them. And Orlando hit some tough shots, like that Affalo turnaround. Props to them. I don't see many teams beating the Magic at home, and if you see the betting line in their favor, that's pretty much easy money.
Before I address your first paragraph, let me commend you for being a loyal fan. As to my point about the Clippers taking on a large number of bandwagon fans, it was something I said in response to another poster's opinion that Clippers fans were the most arrogant of all NBA fans, a point I don't agree with precisely because I don't know of many Clippers fans beyond those who started following the team within the past three seasons. Have the Rockets had their share of bandwagon fans? Absolutely. The number of people who follow the team solely because of Yao Ming or Jeremy Lin is staggering. But were those fans to disappear, the Rockets would retain a significant portion of their fanbase. --Captain Decker
