2024-2025 Regular Season Game 22: Orlando Magic (14-7) at Brooklyn Nets (9-11) - 3:30pm

This game is the literal definition of "Trap Game".

The Nets will play angry. The team has more depth. Orlando is 100% looking to Tuesday (F-Wagner caught himself in an interview "forgetting" this game, as an example).

Orlando should still win. But no way is this a blow-out.

The Magic at -8.5 and 210.5 O/U; I like the Nets on that huge line, on the road. One has to thing it's the under here. Right?

I'm a friggen genius!

Another solid win.

Hopefully, Goga is ok.

AB only bench player with a positive +/- but for some reason TDS closed down the stretch. Bad call by Mosley there, IMO.

60 fouls total in this game. Led to 63 total FT attempts.

We have generated countless open looks from perimeter with good ball movement, but players pass or clank. Goga catches the ball on the block with Schröder on him and passes far out to get intercepted. Only consistent offense we generate is transition. Also love the lob game Goga and Wendel have with Franz and Suggs.

KCP was the only one consistent from perimeter, though unlike how it used to be with Nuggets those shots are not as easy now.

Single game box plus minus isn't a great indicator of play, just means you're in a good lineup. But yeah TDS was kinda just meh today.

Vest thread will be delayed. Bath and bedtime for my toddler.

Unless one of y'all want to do it.

My take on single game +/- is that it can show winning combinations/players even if the counting stats don’t show it. But we’re also talking about the same lineups but with AB or TDS, and today TDS was the worse option.

Tuesday is THE game of the early season. Can't wait.

I just hope it's not like the OKC game from last year. Everyone one was super amped up for the magic first big national televised game and the magic just looked completely over matched.

I'm ok with losing the game Tuesday I just don't want them to look overmatched and get blown out on national television. Cause then we'll get the whole see I told you so with the magic not being ready to beat "good teams".

Franz still played well despite his shooting - not backing down from that. Some bad decisions but those happen.

His shot is still going to be inconsistent. He's like jiggling the ball back and forth in his shot as he winds up from very low, it's just tough to hit that consistently. But as long as he has confidence still...
