This road trip would be really tough for the magic with Paolo. If there was a stretch of games for him to miss this is actually not a bad time. Let's hope the boys show up tonight to play and the thunder get too relaxed and give a game away. Probably won't happen but let it play out anyways

JI is so unreliable that a rookie is starting over him. Pathetic.

To be fair, Moe-Isaac need to offset each other with offense and defense.

So far this year we have been absolutely dreadful on offense in Isaac's minutes, very small sample size obviously, but 73.4 ORTG is just brutal, and it's not like it's skewed by a single horrendous game, it's been way below the league average in every single game. So we are getting crushed in his minutes on the court despite being great on defence.

Hopefully he does really well tonight even if we get killed. He should be the C. He compliments Paolo very well and just does C things.

Even if they get smoked tonight, this is the lineup they need to stick with assuming Carter's gonna miss a bit of time.

I really want to see if Goga can build on last year's surprisingly good defensive season.

I've been annoyed at his shot selection. He takes some quick 3's for an average/below average shooter.

Our team can't score... at all and playing 6-0 OKC who is 3rd in defense

Do we hit 80 tonight?

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

I think it has more to do with Moe's defense.
