So Serge Ibaka had twenty points in the first half of this game against the Hornets. That’s really good. Great even. That’s an amount of points that should convince your teammates and your coach that you need to be the main dude on offense in the second half. I mean, if a guy scores twenty…

In my neverending quest to determine who the best player on the Magic actually is, I have switched allegiences several times. Some days it is Evan Fournier, who leads the team in raw scoring while also scoring efficiently. Some days it is Nikola Vucevic, if I’m feeling nostalgic for the days when he was a…

It’s a good thing that Serge Ibaka is performing up to expectations, because it means the trade that brought him to Orlando is now merely rated as “pretty bad” and not “so bad that there should probably be a rule named after it” like it looked initially.

Trying to justify your misplaced ire for an upstanding NBA player by making baseless claims of age-falsification, poor play, and overpaid-ness. Yes, I have seen you and…
