Afflalo in, Jameer out?

Would be a tough game for Oladipo at point guard against Pat Beverley.

No AA, no chance.

Afflalo is expected to play. Nelson missed practice and shootaround last two mornings, so he may sit this game.

If the team is tanking as plan, then they should expect to get smoke.

Another cool piece of trivia: Parsons chose #25 in honor of Nick Anderson. Nick was his favorite player growing up as a Magic fan.

We lose. Handily. There is much booing.

Sore Labia could impact Dwight Howard's availability against the Magic

I love when it's SD2042's turn. You know the GT will get done on time and before the game is actually starting.

I didn't know that.

Good find!

This.

I expect that to change once we are good again but it's kind of disappointing that game threads aren't up on time like they used to be.

Keep it simple on this one...avoid fouling unless it's Dwight, play with maximum intensity, and have to win the rebound battle to give ourselves a chance. Dwight has been dead to me since he first started that Dwightmare crap. With that being said, I have no problem with the Magic honoring him tonight. He was major at putting us back on the map and getting that beautiful Amway Arena built. He'll also be the reason we will be contenders again really soon thanks to the haul we got for him... 8-)

LET'S GET IT!!!

I'm usually off at 5:30, I see there are a few games here and there without a GT.

How can I make myself available to make some GT's when need be?

Oh great, the night that changed Dwight from Humble to Rockstar seeking bright lights.

Nice thread, I think we get this one behind Tobias' 30pts and Vooch's 20/20
