BS excuse if you ask me

 

[bksballer89]

This team just wiped the floor with you last week. That playing down to competition doesn't work when the same team nearly beat you by 20 a week ago

 

[bksballer89]

Lakers down 15 going to the 4th

Yeah what does that even mean? Playing down? It means a team you should beat is beating you, that's all. It happens. It's not a Lakers thing or any other team's thing it's just playing bad

Yeah last week after that game I said Orlando was not yet a good team but they are far from a bad one. Good young core, maybe a 7-8 seed this year.

they are currently losing to Orlando for the same reason they lost to them last time--- the Lakers interior defense is sub par and Vucevic is destroying them and Ball is not fast enough to keep up with Augustin.

Orlando could be a surprise destination for a big FA. They have the young core and no state income tax

 

[bksballer89]

Looks like Orlando will escape after allowing the Lakers to tie it

Reminds me of the Kings, playing hard despite low expectations coming into the season. And in the East they have a good chance to make the playoffs

BS excuse if you ask me

why? you think the Magic are that good...?

 

[msgkings322]

They are good enough to be a handful for a Lakers team that is pretty good but far from great. As their 2-0 record this year shows.

Probably just a bad matchup for the Lakers .

Find it hard to believe the lakers overlooked them after what happened last weekend in Orlando

Some teams just have your number.

Vuvecic killed them.

Yeah, kinda like that thing with the Blazers.

Usually, it's guard play.

Augustine cooked y'all last game.

This time it was Vuvecic.

Dude is playing his way into a nice little contract this Summer.

That's what I'm thinking. Some teams are just bad matchups. Doesn't mean they're better. Just something about them.

Kind of like the Cavs/Heat in Miami after Lebron went back to Cleveland. Cavs were the better team, but couldn't win in Miami.

Imo, Vucevic is one of the most underrated players in the league.
