Quin Snyder sounds off against the Magic and Goga Bitazde: “It was a dirty play… I wish it would have been taken more seriously than it was. To get to a point where there’s no penalty, there’s no suspension, there’s nothing?”
“I’ve been very very measured about what I’ve been saying about that, but it’s wrong. We played (Orlando) last year, we were in a similar situation where we playing really well, and two guys on our team were knocked out for the season, both on dirty plays.
So here we are, a year removed, and we could see it coming. That’s the game plan against the Hawks, but it didn’t work, because we were tough. And then it turned in to that when the game was over. It makes me really, really angry.”

For the unaware, along with Jock Landale in their latest meeting, the Hawks previously lost Vit Krejci and Larry Nance to injury last year to the Magic on questionable plays.
