He has a knee injury. He can also only play in 57 games this season. Hopefully, he gets well with around 57 games left

The Magic are among the best in disrupting ball movement. 1st in TOV%, opponents assists per 100 possessions is 30th.

The Raptors meanwhile are 3rd in assists per 100 possessions, so they like to pass the ball. They do turn the ball over though (19th in TOV%). We have to disrupt their ball movement.

Poeltl has been kind of quiet this season, but he has been a Magic Killer and could have a big game if Goga is not up to the task.

As long as we rebound, take care of the ball and hit our freebies, we will always give ourselves a chance to win. Bench production is going to be paramount in this contest. Gotta win that battle.

Here's hoping the court is not a skating rink; the Chicago livery was awful on players' feet.

Everyone going to rave about how Wagner is better than Scottie.

Raps W.

That ship has sailed. It’s really just between Scottie and Sengun. They’re both the premier guys of the class *********

Copied and pasted from the Raptors board. The ship has sailed eh? Well see

Oh yeah.. lowkey stealth Magic Killer.

Hopefully our own Euro hulking big C can take him off his game.

I actually think aside from Poetl, they have no bigs that can counteract the "real" bigs of the league. Hope Goga can do that.

Also... not a criticism just an observation.. our court kinda made me question whether I was watching a BKN Nets game lol

I've been quietly a bit disappointed with Franz' play this season thus far overall, to be honest.

Black on Schroder could get chippy which should be fun.

Paolo/Wagner v Siakam/Scottie: nice matchup.

Goga V Poeltl: Goga doesn’t back down.

Suggs V OG: the X factors. Can either get hot?

Can our bench continue to dominate?

We have to be patient. I know playing JI 38 mpg would make us better, but his body wouldn't sustain that.

I don’t think I am mentally ready for the arguments it would cause.
