I want to see this starting lineup:

PG — Suggs
SG — Harris
SF — Franz
PF — Okeke
C — Carter

Just try it for 10 games and see what happens.

Looks like a potentially winnable game for the Magic tonight.

Yeah I expect us to start seeing teams heat up in the tank race. This game tonight is winnable but I could also see us getting destroyed by Anfernee and Nurkic and lose this game. Don't underestimate just how terrible we are... :lol:

On the bright side, unless he's traded today, Nurkic will be playing and he absolutely destroyed the Magic just a couple of weeks ago.

lol I know.. but remember, when we were facing depleted teams like the Pacers a few games back, everyone expected we would win easily against a bunch of no-names but we let Lance frakin Stephenson look like an all-star and almost beat us.

Still...with the NBA nowadays.. no really much difference between worst or 2nd worst in the ladder. Especially with the kind of players available in the draft.

After the all-star break I want Franz and WCJ shut down for the year. Those are the only 2 I think we need healthy heading into next year.

Wins or losses won't change the reality for Orlando: finishing the season as the 29th worst team.

The wünderkinder need to get better. That means the closing run is all about reps!

I bet Suggs misses significant time. AG had a sore Achilles and missed several weeks last year. AD missed a lot of time with a sore Achilles.

There is only 4 games left before allstar break so he shouldn't miss more than that.

Hopefully. AD missed 30 games with tendinitis in his Achilles and injured it again after he came back. We need more info about the extent on Suggs injury. He wasn't moving well before he came out.

you arent going to get it. a player doesnt have to share their personal injury information. we will get high level information without details.

thats high level info. And AG didnt have to release it. people seem to forget, athletes dont have to share this data, teams dont either. If it was serious damage, the player wouldnt let it out because it could hurt their chances for their next contracts.
