This is why Van Gundy and the Orlando Magic will never win a championship. They don't come to play every night, much less play hard. If they can't get up to play the Celtics even if they're shorthanded, at the Garden, a team who is basically their rival, a team who has beaten them twice in a row, why even bother getting dressed?
Score 36 points in an NBA half, only 46 total after 3, why even bother getting dressed?
Nelson, Howard, Davis & Turk with 16 turnovers, like they're unpaid, amatuer high-school kids. 23 turnovers total, way to go.
Howard with a +/- of -20, like he's playing in the game for free for charity with the Globetrotters.
You get paid more money than you'll ever need in your life, to play a game, and it's just despicable to me that you don't even try. Is giving it your all EVERY NIGHT THAT YOU ARE GETTING PAID, too much to ask? I'm not saying win. I'm not saying cover the spread. All I'm saying is fight with all you got 'til the last second. I'm watching the Magic the first half, their effort that is, and it is just woeful. It's like they just don't want to play hard for some reason.
Are you going to tell me that Van Gundy had his team ready to play their asses off tonight, had a game plan and strategy well thought out and ready to go to win this game, and then lose by 30 and not even score 57 to this Celtic team?
