Hopefully Stan pulls his head out of his fat ass, and gives Von some minutes in this game. Von is getting the same treatment that Bass got his first season. Multiple DNPCD. :nonono:

If we get the same production from Ryan we win....Also note that JJ isn't injured and Jameer is starting to play well. This would be the perfect game to play Von. You hear that Stan, play VON WAFER, Our offense is notorious for stalling when they single cover Howard..

Wafer is the 3rd SG on the roster though. How many 3rd stringers play? Well, I thought not many, so I went and checked the NBA rosters for all 30 teams.

20 teams have 3 or more SGs. The average MPG for those players came to 10.5MPG. Wafer is at 13.2, but that includes playing as 2nd string for over a week and greatly inflated is average, which is more like 5MPG over the season disregarding those games he played off the bench on 2nd squad. Wafer has 9 DNPCD out of 26 games. Most of the other 3rd stringers with 10+ minutes have hardly any DNPCD. Only the guys south of 10MPG have racked up a number of DNPCD.

I wish Stan had twitter so fans had a way to at least get ideas across his screen. With all the excuses he brings up he always says he forgot about someone or something, or should have changed something but didn't think about it. I think he needs better advisers and assistants.

With no Horford, Collins (The Dwight Stopper), and Crawford, I like our chances.
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.

For Atlanta to be competitive, Howard must be stopped, and the only way Atlanta to do that is to get D12 into foul trouble. Zaza will play dirty (he always does against Dwight).

Orlando's key for a win is to keep Howard cool. Zaza is likely to play something very unlike B-ball. Howard just needs to take it.

If Howard stays out of foul trouble: Easy Win !!!!!

Ok this is a team that i know will try to play us straight up and stay home on the shooters.....I hope we can find some new ways to attack that kind of defense.....Stan has had trouble with this kind of defense but it's only because he insists on playing the same way EVERY TIME without ANY adjustments if things are going wrong.....

Sucks Collins and Horford aren't playing. Almost feels like we flipped on game genie. Should win this by double digits. Keyword: should.

I do too, but we have to be careful. We said the same thing about the Celtics when they have nobody and we absolutely caved. Then again, we were destroying them so it wasn't a from the go beat down by them.

I just don't want them to get in that mentality of thinking games are going to be easy because key players are missing etc. They should be going out on that court thinking it's game 7 final every time and putting in 100% effort. There are going to be days when shots don't fall and things just don't seem to be going our way in any aspect...but you can't fault a team for playing hard. It wouldn't be the first time in the history of sport where a hard working deserving team loses...but at least you lose playing hard and battling every minute.

Go Magic!

If you had told me 8 years ago, when Zaza played for us, that he'd still be in the league 8 years later, I would have called you insane.

Yeah, we're still the Magic, so at the very least we'll make a great effort of attempting to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We may not succeed, but we'll try.
