Apparently, the Magic are so bad that coach Vogel is planning on retiring at half time.

"Hopefully I can hang around .500 more," Vogel said before Thursday's game. "It's been a heck of a run. I'm very blessed to be a head coach in the NBA. I'm very fortunate to have coached so many great players throughout the years both here and at Indiana."

I'd prefer to lose this but Suns win this by 15. Booker gets 30+ and Ulis getting another double-double.

Dont care if we win or lose, I'm just enjoying watching the Suns play. Its been a long while since I've felt that.

Took me a while to get that.

I think he meant 500 more games not 1/2 a game!

If we could only guarantee one loss the rest of the season, this is the one we should lose.

Still 7'1" tall as far as I know. Can play the 3-5. Needs to put on some weight.

I'm sure that's what he said and it's a typo by the writer.

Hopefully he's played his last game for the Suns.

This pretty much guarantees a bad trade to get rid of him to go with the terrible trade that brought him here.

Williams is a nice story, a good guy and teammate, along with a local kid, but he's not nearly as good as many Suns fans act like he is.

At the half: Ulis having another great game with 14 points and 6 assists so far. Big Sauce has 12 points and 5 boards. Warren showing good signs again with 10 points on 3-5 shooting (but almost 0 other stats of any kind).

Booker's going to have to add to his game so that he can be more of a contributor when his shot isn't going.

Yup, essentially useless when his shots not falling.
