It’s a shame that the trade deadline just passed, because Mario Hezonja is hotter than a twice-microwaved Hot Pocket and the Magic (who obviously do not care about trying to develop Mario Hezonja) could’ve gotten some good stuff for him from some team that recognizes his talent. Maybe even a first-round pick! They couldn’t get…

Mario Hezonja 23 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2018)
When Mario Hezonja scored 28 points while hitting 8 threes a couple months ago, we knew it wasn’t sustainable. It was fun, and amazing to watch, but not something we could expect out of him on a regular basis. This, on the other hand, is totally sustainable. He could do this every game if he…

With Aaron Gordon out, the Orlando Magic don’t really have a true “first option” on offense. The opportunity is waiting, just yearning for some enterprising young player to grab it. You know what I’m thinking, yeah? Heck yes. We are on the same page, my man. Let’s do this. Marreese Speights as the first option!…

Given that Mario Hezonja had five turnovers and only went 1-of-6 on field goal attempts inside the arc, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that this wasn’t one of his better games. In fact, this is the game that finally pushed his turnover total (45) above his assist total (44), leaving him…

Mario Hezonja had a successful three-point excursion for the second straight game, nailing four of five triples in this one after hitting three of five in the previous game. Two games is a small sample size, too small to draw useful conclusions, but I’m sure all you optimists out there are saying to yourselves, “Hezonja’s…

Mario Hezonja has definitely shown enough this season for some team to want him before the trade deadline. Definitely. The Magic, obviously, aren’t super interested in investing any more resources into him. He’s a relic of the past, already in his third year in the league. My theory is they’re only letting him play so…

Luckily I missed tonight’s Bucks game, otherwise I would have had to witness D.J. Wilson suck so bad that even the Magic commentators felt it necessary to call him out. Why do I let myself get hyped for Bucks rookies again? You can witness a small sample of his suckitude in this Mario Hezonja highlight…

Mario Hezonja has now had 10 double-digit scoring games this season. That’s how many he had last year, but these are even more double-digit than those and he didn’t take nearly as long getting them. My excitement for his newfound scoring ability is tempered by the fact that only one of those games resulted in…

Mario Hezonja keeps on looking solid. He had a little three game mini-slump where he wasn’t scoring double figures, but now he’s right back at it. At this point, looking solid on a consistent basis is a great victory for him. Whatever expectations people had for him before the draft are likely not going to…

Do you think Mario Hezonja would punch his coach Frank Vogel in the penis if he knew that he could get away with it? Vogel, along with erstwhile head coach Scott Skiles, are the easiest culprits to blame for Hezonja’s lack of success in the NBA if you don’t want to blame Hezonja himself. Hezonja…
