    That's what happens when you match up with basically no center against a decent/good center.

    Magic are hitting everything, but you also have to wonder if the coaching staff is going to continue to play Vucevik one on one. Tucker has one rebound and three points. Nene didn't grab a single board in 4 minutes.

    GG needs to practice his shot more. Postpone his community service for a while and get into the gym and practice his shots more.

    Nene is basically for fights in the back If someone ****s with Beard.

    Pretty sure he owns an Axe or something...

    It's a short rotation of players so he has to avoid fouls early!

    Our low key zone is not so low key right now.
    Rocket shot 50 percent and harden, Gordon, and cp3 have combined to miss only 9 shots.

    Harden going for 50 points. Obviously with rockets shooting 50 percent, harden can get 50 points easy!

    Disagree. He needs to sit on the couch and practice with his dog more to get the swag back.

    This is not true. Too many movable parts

    Vucevic may as well be prime Shaq out there tonight...our undersized frontcourt is BBQ chicken

    we are getting massacred on the boards...Orlando already has 12 offensive rebounds

    They don't take every game seriously. They don't care about games against bad teams and consistently underperform in them. Coaching staff makes minimal adjustments.

    That's all it is. They have tanked any shot at a good playoff seed because they simply don't perform against the bad teams on a consistent basis like other good teams do.

    Harden and Faried are a combined 15-23
    The rest of the team are 6-18

    He usually plays well against centers in the league shrug or he tires them out more. We're getting abused down low.

    I feel like Vucevic has gotten close to what he had against us last time in the whole game against compared tonight in a half.

    I think today it's just being outplayed in the paint because we put midgets on the court .

    Of course he is better on big men than anyone else on the team. But that doesn't really matter often because the team decides it wants Capella to switch to guards on the permimeter

    Size is definitely a problem, sure. But it hasn't been all season. A consistent them all season is the Rockets don't show up against teams they clearly should beat.

    We’ll be fine everyone. It’s only the first half and CP3s first game back, I wouldnt rush into conclusions.

    Btw, Faried is seriously a good pickup!

    If we want good standings, this is a must win.

    He's been looking All World on offense, so far. Gotta do something about that.
