Whenever I watch this Orlando group, I wonder why they aren't better.  There's a ton of talent on this team.  I guess the pieces don't really fit that well, though.

They have 20 wins, what more do you want?

Of course Sully goes and scores 9 points in the first quarter after I say something about him sucking on offense.   

Related: this is why the Magic are 4 games below .500. 

How a 7 footer like Vucevic is so poor at defending the interior is beyond me.

IT and Amir chemistry is real!

For them to win more than they lose?  They were doing it earlier this year but they've gone into a nose-dive recently.

Sully gave us a very productive first quarter, hope it last in the 2nd half as well. Vucevic was non-existent out there.

Greg Monroe might be worse.

They're similar players.  I think Monroe is a better positional defender.  Gets in the right spots but isn't quick enough to make up for other players' mistakes.

Vooch just seems soft.  Gets pushed around more than you'd expect inside, and never gets to the free throw line.

To be fair, Sully was pounding Gordon not Vucevic, not that your point doesn't stand.

I don't know why Skiles put those defensive assignments as he did.

Gordon at least has the excuse that he's still growing into his body and gaining strength to defend guys like Sully.

Vucevic seems confused on defense to me, Monroe seems lazy. Not sure which is worse to be honest.

It seems to me that Jae has really sped up his release this year.  Use to be more mechanical,  now he can get it off pretty quick.
