He was grimacing after a fall yesterday in the second half. An abdominal injury would definitely affect your long-range shooting.

Given that Cavs take no prisioners , i don't think it's a bad idea to skip it and get healthier.

In typical Magic fan fashion, my hopes for a top seed goes down the drain in days and now I’m not even sure we hace a winning season if Paolo misses significant time.

Relax, very early in the season and there is no impression that Paolo will miss significant time

Unleash the kids...maybe Jett will go nuts and drop 10 3's in a "no one expects to win" opportunity.

AB triple double. Suggs 25 again. KCP wakes up....Just a 3pt barrage with no expectation of slowing down their 2pt scorers.

This has the feel of the December 23 fiasco wherein Franz missed 10 games and we free-falled

Yeah, agreed. Problem is, this game is on ESPN. But oh well, their health is much more important to me.

You know what, oh well. If it means that Paolo need to heal up, that is much more important. It will give others playing time. With how physical teams are with Paolo, he needs the break.

Strain must not be that bad if he was able to play after..... I've had that in high school bad and couldn't play for weeks but I definitely couldn't play the rest of the game too painful.... Abdominal is pretty much the core, you use it for damn near everything on the court.... No way paolo could've kept playing through that if it was as bad as when I had it.... But maybe it's different for pros

Could be a blessing in disguise if Paolo misses a few games. It gets the rest of the team to wake up and find the maximum offense they can unlock.

I’m curious if the Magic scouts and FO looked into not just 3 point shooters, but the ones that hit accurately in Magic type offensive sets. For example, a heavy screen-using, play setting 3 point bomber may not get any of that in Orlando. It needs to be a cold-ready bomber out of random high passing sequences.
