Artie, you are giving us other Magic fans a really bad look.
We are on an upward trend and next year, with a little more seasoning, we just might make the second round. Let's be happy with the great progress we made this season and the continuing development of our core.

Re: Aaron Gordon Is Beasting (REDUX)
Check out the change in his efficiency since he joined Jokic. It is crazy how much it has improved, and that is despite weaker FT shooting. His TS% has skyrocketed pretty much to the day he joined Jokic. If the Nuggets were a car he would be the alternator, not the biggest or most important compone...

Re: Ralph Sampson... Wemby before Wemby
JJJ would break the game in the 90s and isn’t even an all star now. But he isn’t better than a guy who started 5% of his games. Like I said, either an idiot, or dishonest, there’s no other option. From the Grizz alone, both JJJ and Brandon Clarke absolutely shit all over Carr. The difference in ski...

Re: Ralph Sampson... Wemby before Wemby
Carr = better than 75% of the Bigs in the NBA today. :asskicking: https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/carran01.html Surely you're talking about some other Antoine Carr and not this guy... right? In 16 seasons, he started 168 games, and only twice did he start more than half of his games ...

Re: Ralph Sampson... Wemby before Wemby
TDK wonders how come the BWGC doesn't give us a breakdown of Wemby's Big Man competition today, the way they scruitinized and criticized Sampson's Big Man competition from the mid 80s.. back when the NBA was actually a Big Man game, and the league was STACKED with all-time great/HOF C/PF talent??? ...

Re: Ralph Sampson... Wemby before Wemby
I thought Ralph Sampson was overrated, an underachiever. And should now way in hell be in the HOF. Bobby Knight told an assistant coach he was the biggest pussy (player) he'd ever seen. IIRC, he coached him in the Pan Am games? But he was definitely an all-star caliber big right out of the gate. Fr...

Re: Grizz???????? Panthers, Bruins.
I would have called it off, but the inconsistencies on goalie interference make it totally unpredictable. Bennet clearly shoves the defenseman into the goalie and that changed everything.

Re: Aaron Gordon Is Beasting
By the way, Gordon is having by far his 3 most efficient seasons since being teamed up with Jokic. His TS% has gone from 53% in his first 7 seasons with a peak of under 55% to approximately 61% since teaming up with Jokic. That is despite worsening percentages from the line and very mildly worse fro...

Re: Tatum is not a " great" player
Tatum is the new generation pg. amazing two way talent that settles for bad shots. Tatum is a much better help defender while pg was better on ball but roughly even, Tatum is better in the mid range but pg was better at getting to the hoop and didn’t jack as many stupid pull up 3s. Both easily top ...

Re: Ralph Sampson... Wemby before Wemby
Wemby plays against skilled forwards and big men. Sampson played against guys who had no idea how to play basketball and were on the court to be Kimbo Slice style enforcers throwing clotheslines like Big Show https://youtu.be/1V3J4wlCxvg?si=2f1mAejEWrtoBwa7 Anthony Mason made 3rd team all NBA in 19...
