I know you're highlighting our guy...but we should also keep an eye on Slo-Mo...he will be a UFA this summer and MIN may be facing some very hard financial decisions. I look at him as a bigger, younger, Ingles and he might be just the kind of versatile guy to back up 3&4...he's also got a bit of a mean competitive streak like Ingles. His passing might be his best attribute, but he does everything pretty well, including defense & some ballhandling - which fits our long bois profile.

Yeah I was thinking about that. He's a perfect replacement for Ingles

I love Ingles...but, well - I'm 56 and I'd probably call him "sir" :lol:

If I wasn't only 5'10, I'd probably get picked ahead of him for a pick-up game at the playground (just based on appearance) :lol:

(I'm here all week. Tip your servers)

should always be on the lookout for a swiss-army knife type player with that kind of BBIQ.

The dude is basically playing with his dominant hand tied behind his back. He just needs to be shut down.

Is AB out of timeout for the Black Dick jersey swap?

Harris is back tonight, so they will be back to the normal Suggs/Harris backcourt.

Black should play with Fultz out though.

If Harris + Suggs start in the backcourt I am OK with it.

I expect a G rotation of Cole + Black off the bench as Houstan will get eaten alive out there.

If we don't see Black at all tonight we better see more minutes from Suggs / Harris / Cole. There is no excuse.

If Houstans feet even touch the floor unless we are blowing them out we riot.

Orlando cannot finish lower than the 8-seed.

Go Magic.
