Raptors beat the Hawks tonight by 44.. Yikes.. That team has lost it.

[jakebernat]

Will be at the game, I'll be the incoherent one screaming that we should cut ibaka and biyombo in half to find out how old they really are.

Also, I'd love to be able to see Reggie suit up for the first time this year lol

[TurboTitan]

Easy win

[Han Solo]

Easy win

No it won't be.. Just doesn't feel like an easy win. Hopefully I'm wrong.

[detroitKG]

If we play how we've been playing and on top of that at home...yea easy win.

[Pharaoh]

Time to dominate! Show the Magic we are not to be **** with

From what I have seen from this team over the past 8-10 games, they seem to have turned a corner in maturity. They now understand certain things such as;

1.)Smack a bad team in the mouth and they will wilt early

2.)With a lead dont become lazy

3.)"Hey, we are a damn good team. Lets kick the crap out of this current opponent"

Thats something teams when they start to become damn good, realize. This game should be a testament to the points I just laid out, and this team should just absolutely maul the Magic as the Magic are a very bad team.

I dont care how a good an opposing teams defense is(proven by the past several opponents)this team has so many scoring options in can punch holes in the best of them. This teams defense on the other hand has been damn good and should just crucify the Magic. They cant score. Have no go to scorer, and struggle running even the most basic of plays.

I am so confident of this teams rise, and strength, if these teams played 10 times, and the Pistons played at their peak they would win all 10 by double digits. They are that much better then the Magic even without Jackson.

This game should be an absolute destruction of the Magic. Only thing that may throw a wrench in is if Reggie does indeed come back this game, and the team loses its footing.

We are all still flying pretty high on our team after our Hawks win but it might not be quite as impressive as I originally thought if they went out and got stomped even worse the next night and showed zero heart after we whooped um. I think that team might just be giving up on their coach at the moment.

Think it's a case for continuity.

They replaced Horford & Teague with Dwight and Schroder...which is a downgrade in both positions.

They didn't replace Schroder off the bench either

So they lost 3 key cogs, added 2 lesser options in the starting unit, lose the key to the ignition of their 2nd unit...

They weren't gonna be as good this season after that. Getting stomped just shows what can happen when nothing is going right and opponent's have worked you out

The Magic are terrible offensively. Keep them under 90 and it's automatic

[joedumars1]

I would like to see RJ. Seems like a good opponent to play him against. Cooter ball, lol

Magic improving game by game. Will be close game, Magic by 2 !

The new rotation with Vuc & Payton off the bench is working better cause Vuc can be a focal point for the 2nd unit.

Putting the ball in Fournier's hands was a good move by Vogel too

That said KCP usually locks him up so will be interesting to see IF that happens again what impact that has on the Magic

Yes, Pistons need to be ready for a dog fight. If they aren't mentally into the game, Magic have a good shot to win.

[Jaisy]

Last time when we met it was an easy W for us. We won 2nd quarter 30-9 during that game! This time Magic has a new rotation, which I think is more balanced than previous one. Running with Vuc and Elfrid as second unit is a great move by coach Vogel. We all know that Tobias "All-Business" Harris loves playing against his former team. I'd like to see Reggie in tonight's game, and see the crazy running competition that Ish would bring in front of Payton's.. hair? I cannot wait until the game begins, finally we'll be here, in The Palace, to meet, and greet the BALLERS (Mason voice all over here) DEEEETROOIIT BASKETBAAALLL!!!!!!!!

[ChuckVanBrown]

Orlando is a weird team. Good coach with some nice young pieces, but I struggle to see how it all fits cohesively.

I expect the Magic to get better as the season goes on, so Pistons can't take their foot off the gas tonight. We tend to play well against them, so I expect a home win tonight. If RJ is ready to go, this might be the perfect time to ease him back into the rotation.

[BadMofoPimp]

Magic have played great Ball the last 3 games. They are just inconsistent and still learning. Pistons shouldn't take them lightly as they are finally finding a rythmn. Magic are a former team for Ish as well. I am sure SVG will go all out to beat the Magic.
