The fact that Caleb does not automatically shoot bothers me. I feel like he need to get trigger happy.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

The Magic took care of business like a good playoff team does.

On to the next one.

And with that, we clinch a .500 record. One more win to match our best season post-Dwight, matching the peak of the Buddy Ball era. Coincidentally (but not totally), also the last season before this one where we had JI healthy for most of it.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I have a hard time believing he's coming back given how doesn't space the floor and you have Carter/Issac/Wagner in front of him.

OG annouby is also out indefinitely again so I think it's pretty probably that we finish fourth and get home court in round one. Good win tonight.

I get the thinking, but I also think the health concerns around Isaac and WCJ, and knowing Moe is a sieve on defense, the team will want quality depth and preferably someone who knows the system. Having WCJ and Moe locked up for less than $20M total leaves room for Goga.

JI and WCJ miss a lot of time. I see the Magic trying to keep Goga.

Even without OG knicks have been playing good. Granted Thibs is killing their legs with mins but i think they have a higher chance being 3rd than us being 4th. Especially with DON out for the Cavs.

Our schedule gets tougher the next 4 games and Knicks have DET/TOR/SA/BK and have been maybe even better without OG.

They'll probably throw him 3-4 million but some other team is likely to give him more. But what they have now considering is good enough.

They're likely get a Robin Lopez type big/vet to back those guys up.

New Orleans plays a 9-man rotation. I hope Mosely plays 9 and leaves Fultz on the bench.

He only needs a 2-man rotation. Jalen Suggs and Jonathan Isaac. We're 82-0 with that lineup.

got to shorten that rotation....fultz isn't really giving us anything in his minutes....he's getting minutes right now off reputation alone not his play which is unfortunate because it really makes that "earn minutes" stuff they were pushing look like BS
