I’d love to see the team respond to that Brooklyn game with some fierce determination to get back to winning.

Didn't someone land on his ankle? I'm not surprised. Not worried either. Just sucks.

Cleveland Nets you say. Should I even watch then.

Isaac not playing is a big blow. So annoyed with him, hes such a difference maker but can never play.

Our bench is a lot better than theirs, especially with Levert out. If we play defense, I like our chances.

Zero interest in this TBH. He's an interesting option to replace Harris or Ingles, but a poor one. And considering our draft equity and cap room I'd rather trade for an upgrade or sign one in free agency.

I agree with like 99% of your posts but this one I do not. Caleb is a great fit for Paolo and Franz and to come into that role of Gary or Ingles next year. I am a little more intrigued with Jett but clearly the Magic think Caleb is more ready at this time. If would have to be a big upgrade over Caleb or I am find him getting 18 min a game backing up Suggs next year. I personally thing we should not draft a rookie for a few years haha.

Yes, someone did land on his ankle. He had a pillow fort wrapped around it on the bench right after the fact.

That's fair, he's looked really good lately too.

Is Caleb 6'9 already? Plus his NBA regimen where he looks cut, he is like a stretch PF already. If he can get shots up, he actually is a greqt fit with PB qnd Frqnz

It is what it is. We are capable of winning without him. Let him heal up and come back 100%.

"Wagic" was our suggestion when team held its contest to name Orlando's WNBA franchise. Makes sense that if the men are the Magic, then the women should be the Wagic.

Strus, Dean Wade and Niang are who I'm most worried about lol.

Mitchell has been shooting bad lately too and is due for a good game, gotta force him into tough shots.

Paolo clearly locked in.
