I know they don't matter, but can someone explain to me what exactly are the magic doing?
He really doesnt and needs to be made the 6th man so Wiggins can start at the 2.
Their last 6 wins Lavine has either missed the games or had a small impact and theyre playing better.
I saw someone on twitter say he missed or messed up on a rotation and then the argument happened. Then he told Tyus "I don't know what the fukk he wants me to do"

so when he's had good games (and the majority of his games this year have been consistent in both wins and losses, January has definitely been a down month) and they win it's ignored, but now they're winning more consistently with him still in the starting lineup and him playing significantly better D. Yet you say he should be relegated to 6th man? he has missed i believe 1 game out of this stretch in which they've gone 6-2. he makes the game easier for wiggins and KAT just by being there as an offensive/3 point threat even when he doesn't get many shots. wiggins often plays better at the 2 than he does at the 3 (depending on the matchup), but more so defensively. offensively, zach is still more dangerous at the 2 than andrew is while his defense is lacking at the position although improving. they need to continue starting and growing together, this team will only go as far as they and KAT develop together. The biggest reason that they're starting to win is that they are getting much better bench production from bazz and tyus recently when he's been allowed to play. bjelica is a useless POS. They are also closing out all these close games together. Until this recent stretch, they were 0-10 in games decided by 4 points or less. they have to keep starting together; it's not an accident that they blew up after the ASB last year when zach was permanently switched to the SG role.
i still didn't see a missed rotation unless thibs was angry that he didn't rotate hard enough to keep chandler (i think) from getting a dunk. rock and a hard place to hedge down on chandler or leave booker open. they did terrible as a team on PnR D and gave up way too many oops and offensive putbacks/tipins/dunks.
Hennigan is in panic mode and is trying to save his job, dude has done a miserable job putting that team together.

Smooth sailing from here on out...
The Magic refusing to just say fukk it & play Mario to see if he can do anything is some special 
stuff. They are 11 games under .500, all their other guards are injured, & they still moved Jeff Green into the starting lineup & played him 34 minutes instead of giving the guy they used a 5th overall pick on minutes.

Waiting for their general manager to get fired. Outside of Brooklyn and the Lakers, the roster is just an epic fail across the board.

Henningan doesn't want to lose his job.

Yea I don't get it. Dude played like 10 minutes the whole game yesterday. But Green and Biz out throwing up bricks left and right. I don't understand why they chose Payton over Dipo. Payton just can't shoot and that is death in today's league. That trade for Serge(who is surely gone after this season) looks horrible each passing day. Don't know why Vogel is playing Gordon at the 3. The shooting isn't there yet. Even that stubborn idiot Skiles had him at the 4 and he was killing at the end of last year. Still don't get why they trying to move Vucci and keep Biz around with no offense. Just a bizarre team.

Countdown to Armageddon
trade him for who?
Naw Walton is developing guys like Randle right. The talent just isn't there yet but it's promising. Orl is mismanging their youth and signing worthless vets like Green. They have no direction and need to blow it up. See what you have in Gordon and maybe build from there

They went from a young promising team to a team with no direction in one season. I knew the season was over when they benched Vucci mayne and Payton. They brought in talent that doesn't mesh and a coach with a philosophy that doesn't mesh either.
I miss the game and we win at the buzzer
